NEWS: Governor Wes Moore, along with Baltimore’s Mayor Brandon Scott, have overseen an over 40% decrease in homicides in Maryland putting the state on pace for its lowest homicide rate in over 40 years. That’s huge.

Relying solely on courts and politicians isn't enough for real change. For Black Americans, the path to progress demands active political mobilization and consistent resistance. youtu.be/T_gZPiq-Yao #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #PoliticalAction #Mobilization

Sellers: The American public also see the grift that is Donald Trump… Sands: You wanna talk about Biden and that grift? He was on the take from every major adversary. Sellers: What? The wealth of Donald Trump has grown exponentially. Sands: He’s a real businessman. Sellers: No. He’s a grifter. Sands: Listen to you! He’s the president! Hinojosa: Yes and he’s profiting off the presidency. Do you not see that? Sands: He’s working everyday on behalf of the American people to make their lives better. Sellers: Has the president enriched himself by making stock trades— Sands: I have no idea. I haven’t followed that.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia is calling on House Oversight Chairman James Comer to bring in for questioning these Trump administration officials involved in the secret White House meetings NYT reported on how to contain the political fallout from the Epstein files

NASHVILLE: “If a data center project is not good for a zoo, it’s not good for an HBCU.” Rep. @brotherjones_, students, alumni at @Fisk1866 U opposed a mysteriously-funded on-campus data center project shrouded in secrecy. (His environmental racism class was abruptly canceled🤔)

Dear @SecRollins: You keep getting fact checked for your lies. It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs. Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days. The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days. If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign.

US ATTORNEY ESSAYLI: Is there enough fraud to sway an election? We don't know CUOMO: No ESSAYLI: You can't say 'no.' You haven't done an investigation CUOMO: You are in the business of knowing!

Republicans want to hand over another $70 BILLION to ICE and CBP with zero meaningful guardrails or reforms. This bill is a sham and does absolutely nothing to address the real issues Americans are facing. I’m a NO.

We know.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

“For as long as racism is pervasive in our system, I promise you it will come back to bite your *ss.” Period. @RepSummerLee (D-PA) didn’t mince words, addressing the “Black people problems” of gerrymandering that have popped up in the South.

Here we go again. My Republican colleagues just held another hearing attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center for supposedly “manufacturing hate.” But when it comes to the very real hate groups fueling racism, violence, and extremism across this country, suddenly they have nothing to say. Instead of confronting the people spreading hate, they’re attacking the people tracking it. Spare me the theatrics.

It is impossible to hear the allegations surrounding baby Ross Otto Hambrick and baby Victor King without feeling a profound sense of grief and outrage. These children deserved protection, compassion, and humanity. Their families deserve answers, and we will not stop pursuing accountability for the NIH RSV vaccine experiments conducted on Black infants in the 1960s.

BREAKING: Fox News Just Spent 3 Straight Minutes Airing A Detailed Case For Corruption Inside The Trump Administration. Think about that. This wasn’t MSNBC. This wasn’t CNN. This was Fox News. Rep. Jamie Raskin walked viewers through what he says is a pattern of corruption, conflicts of interest, and abuse of power inside the administration. And Fox aired the entire thing. When even Fox can no longer avoid the conversation, it suggests the story has become too large to simply ignore.

I feel strongly about this: journalists have an ethical responsibility to call these election lies what they are. We just stop hiding behind the euphemistic “without proof.” Or democracy is fragile and under assault. Patrician journalistic niceties serve no one is a moment of crisis, not even journalism. We are called to reveal and convey truth. It starts with every interaction. It starts in the moment. It starts to their faces. It feels good to be free to do what I think is right.

Those are deep Told ya

The Kennedy Center belongs to the people. As the judge wrote: “Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.”

Let's be direct about this. The Trump family has turned our government into their personal piggy bank. It’s appalling.

Some good news today. South Carolina has chosen NOT to move forward with gerrymandering for the time being. AND a court has blocked Alabama’s gerrymander. The fight continues. But these small victories are important. Keep the faith.
