The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Someday we'll have to reckon with the fact that not only are billionaires bad for society, having that much money seems to be genuinely bad for their own mental health. This is a problem we need to address--if not for our sakes, then for theirs.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Thankfully, the village was evacuated already, but one person is missing and everyone else’s homes are destroyed. Make no mistake: this is a climate disaster.

Is Humphrey's Executor going down? Probably. But there's a conservative case for keeping it. You could even say that keeping it is the conservative thing to do. My debut @theunpopulist.net: an open letter to Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. www.theunpopulist.net/p/the-suprem...

The TikTok ban really says a lot about Congress. Last year it was a threat to national security. This year Trump says, nah, it ought to stay. Congress’ response to Trump is, OK we’re good.

I knew Trump would win when he gave a campaign speech about killing Democrats & my local NBC affiliate only showed a clip of him saying, "We need to fix this economy" as if that was the news.

Governor Wes Moore lays it out - Trump is not interested in governing. He lies to stoke fear, xenophobia, and demonize Latinos and other immigrants. Then he weaponizes ICE and has Kristi Noem pose for pictures in front of people who were kidnapped & trafficked. youtube.com/shorts/PEKmo...
