I don't really care if Elon Musk called Trump's awful bill a "disgusting abomination" (which it is) I DO care that he and Trump destroyed USAID Allegedly causing the deaths of 300,000 people-with 200,000 children among them And then CELEBRATED it

Darren Beattie - the State Dept official who dismantled the US government's main center for fighting Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world - turns out to have personal ties to the Russian elite. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

My latest at Joy's House: Marco Rubio is the most soulless man in the Trump regime open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike. His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

just going on the teevee and admitting it's all first amendment violations

THIS IS BIG: My latest explains how, in the last few months, Donald Trump has taken affirmative steps to implement martial law and how it will be hard to stop him from a practical standpoint. shero.substack.com/p/trump-embo...

Quid pro quo

The Trump administration is engaging on an all-out assault on the institutions, workers and standards that make learning and knowledge production possible, in the hopes of securing political dominance forever. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"People like you only ever come along and cite Yemen and Sudan to defend Israel. You don't actually give a shit about the people..." @mehdirhasan.bsky.social goes head to head w/ war analyst John Spencer on ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ for refusing to call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide.

Cats and dogs

The political world needs to pause, reassess, and come to terms with the simple fact that there are no actual Republican moderates on Capitol Hill. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I promise you the White Christian nationalist regime staffed by neo-Nazis doesn’t give a single shit about the safety of American Jews. Let’s not pretend they do.

I'm begging people to read the political science literature on populism. Because it's clear some of y'all haven't read any of it.

Neguse was grilling Jim Jordan so hard this morning over language in the reconciliation bill to restrict federal judges' ability to enforce court penalties that Jordan had to consult with his lawyers

The GOP prioritizes tanning beds over hospital beds.

A useful roadmap… www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

New emails document how a top aide to Tulsi Gabbard ordered analysts to edit an assessment with the hope of insulating President Trump and Ms. Gabbard from being attacked for the administration’s claim that Venezuela’s government controls a criminal gang www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

THIS!!!👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Ethics experts say Chris Young’s arrangement — working for a Musk company and DOGE at the same time — likely violates federal conflict-of-interest regulations. Musk has publicly called for the elimination of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the agency Young is helping to gut.

How will we ever recover from this unbelievable corruption?
