Political malpractice that Dems—from Schumer to AOC —haven't been all over this story.
5000 sailors have been at sea for over 250 days. They signed up to defend our country, not to fight endless foreign wars. It’s time to end the war in Iran and bring them home.

Wonderful victory for Seattle's working families, and great work by @MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson. axios.com/local/seattle/…
Stumbled on to this yesterday and could scarcely believe it was real. But it is digital.library.cornell.edu/catalog/ss:106…
I know AI cynicism is fashionable, but this seems spot-on - especially the clear-eyed statements about OpenAI's extreme level of power and what could be done to democratize it. Hope @jachiam0's departure does not mean these ideas are being marginalized.
Here's the closing message I sent to everyone today. My dear friends! Today’s my last day at OpenAI. I have been thinking a lot about what I wanted to say in my final remarks to the company. Here are a few things I hope everyone takes deeply to heart. 1. For All of Humanity.
Nothing fishy here, move along
⚡️ NEW from @DropSiteNews: Prosecutor Investigating U.S. Boat Strikes and Claims of Torture Was Murdered in Ecuador New evidence has emerged of U.S. Coast Guard activity in the aftermath of two strikes, further corroborating survivor testimony. Story by @sovietwithsazon
Nails the problem with our politics as currently practiced. The beauty of something like a permanent citizens' assembly with actual governance powers is that it collapses the "they" and "we."
This is an amazing quote from Lindsey Graham about when he realized how politics works. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/…
Members of Congress from across the political spectrum should follow @RoKhanna's example. So much performative stuff on social media - lots of repetitive rhetoric. Actually going there to bear witness and broadcast the reality to the world can make a real difference.
BREAKING: U.S Democratic Representative Ro Khanna has become the first American congressman in history to be detained by Israeli settlers while on a visit to the West Bank.

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
🚨 BREAKING: Israel has killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, director of public relations for the Egyptian Committee in Gaza, Tuesday evening in a strike on a civilian vehicle near the governorate building in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighborhood, per the Palestinian Information Center.
@hannahkrieg Seems reminiscent of that one time - many epochs ago - when they pushed out a writer over an endorsement of up and coming Jayapal instead of a certain preferred establishment-friendly (gay) guy
@patrickgaspard "Grenadye alaso" in physical form! What a beauty

@upholdparenti @AaronRegunberg @JordanUhl Irrelevant to the point but made me laugh. Have a nice day
@upholdparenti @AaronRegunberg @JordanUhl Even if that’s true, “literally demonic” would still be untrue and ridiculous
