“If people can’t trust that the data they are giving the government will be protected, (and believe) that it will be used for things other than what they gave it for, it will lead to a crisis of trust,” EFF’s @mariotrujillo.bsky.social told @nytimes.com.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Devoting a 352-page book to unmasking a president who is no longer in office instead of the one currently sowing global chaos indicates serious mental impairment, experts say.

What’s interesting/ignorant about this is that we *do do the big things here - the AI and the weapons systems. And we don’t do T shirts and textiles at scale. Once again, he has no idea how any of this works.

The US is now complicit in the deaths of Ukrainians as Trump ONCE AGAIN does not sanction Russia despite his so called “red line.” He is the weakest so called leader America has had in its history.

Question: Will the next mainstream media interviewer of Trump ask about this blatant lie in the Oval Office? Or will they say ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and try and move on, a la ABC’s Terry Moran?

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Marco Rubio used to defend free speech wherever it was threatened. Now he's snatching students off the street for exercising First Amendment rights — an authoritarian crusade that would make McCarthy himself blush. I would ask "have you no decency," but I already know the answer.

Gabbard’s top aide, ordering changes to an intel assessment that debunked one of Trump’s lies: “We need to do some rewriting … so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS.” Politicizing intelligence is just another one of the many corrupt acts Trump falsely alleged and is now committing.

I know it’s a big week for the Biden cover-up, but Donald Trump is often more incoherent (and wrong) than Biden ever was. The only difference: Trump is high energy incoherent.

I am often critical of legacy media, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to the 60 Minutes team, Bill Owens and now Wendy McMahon for standing up for what is right while CBS's owner prepares for total surrender and capitulation. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

The researchers at @energyinnovation.org have modeled the effects of the current GOP reconciliation bill. Folks ... it's bad. The top line: "Between 2026 and 2034 (the reconciliation window), national GDP decreases by nearly $1.1 trillion, cumulatively" I'm bad at budgeting. Is a trillion a lot?

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.
