NEW: U.S. agents suspected Trump ally Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders. Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives. @propublica.org

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

Every day my country falls further into the current dystopian nightmare.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Bucket list experience: snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef

So instead of just shooting someone on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight, he’s giving War Criminal Putin the green light to bomb Ukrainian families. The attack killed a 1-year-old baby. And Trump has this baby’s blood on his (already so bloody) hands.

Oh, I see. DOGE was looking for fraud and systemic abuse so that they could *reward* the perpetrators.

My radical position is that congress should remove a president if he pronounces that his predecessor was assassinated and replaced by a clone

Nature ran a piece finding that 25 million people could die as a result of ending USAID. This puts Trump and Musk in the category of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century in terms of unnecessary lives lost. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Ludicrous

I have a duty to fight against laws and lawmakers who would use my daughters and granddaughters as incubators. Full stop.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!

Another big FU from Harvard… free online courses on the US government, the US constitution, civic engagement, and more. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

The president of the United States has spent more time attacking Bruce Springsteen than addressing the fact that 771,480 men, women, and children were counted as homeless last year.

Fact checked- 30 Americans are dead. Towns flattened. But FEMA, under the Shitwaffle’s rule, hasn’t sent a damn dime. Missouri, Kentucky, Mississippi—still waiting. He gutted FEMA, downsized disaster aid, and left people to suffer. This is what authoritarian neglect looks like. 🧵1/

So: 1) Takes food from children 2) Gives the richest man in the world a tax cut 3) Makes the deficit worse

Secularism isn’t what’s driving people away from Christianity. What’s driving people away from Christianity are those who claim to follow Jesus, but completely ignore his teachings and use his name instead to amass wealth and political power.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

At the newsletter right now: A Texas woman was just released from jail after five months - FOR A MISCARRIAGE. While she was jailed, the county turned her fetal remains over to a crisis pregnancy center - which then named the fetus and gave it a public funeral. jessica.substack.com/p/texas-jail...

Putin is a war criminal. Russia is the aggressor. The U.S. abandoned our allies and allows Putin to continue his illegal attacks and occupation unchecked by our economic and military might. Trump is weak & easily manipulated by Putin (and remember how he promised to end the war in 1 day?)

"Springsteen didn’t pull any punches — no references to 'our national divide' or 'both sides' or 'polarization.' He was direct, angry and precise in his language." - @guitarwatson.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/no-n...

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

Our “un-solvable” housing problems ARE solvable. There’s a way. Does Congress have the will?

Thou shalt focus on the current president's throbbing insanity and dementia. The previous president is no longer president and so it no longer matters.

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

This is HUGE. For those wondering why due process is essential for EVERYONE. This is why!

Throughout his life, President Biden’s been a relentless fighter for his family and his nation. We know he will bring that same strength and resilience to this new battle against cancer. We are praying for a complete and quick recovery.

“A big beautiful bill for billionaires” It’s shit for the rest of us…
