Can states withhold the tax revenue we would otherwise send to the feds so we can inspect our own goddamned food? www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake. Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back. If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe. Kilmar is all of us.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

There's been a LOT going on, but the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case really deserves all of our attention. Some thoughts at CAMPAIGN TRAILS: campaign-trails.ghost.io/homegrown-cr...

Can we dispense with the fiction that Trump is earnestly trying to bring back American manufacturing now? He's just a pudding brain who is doing this for narcissistic and corruption-based reasons. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

They hate the dogs. They hate the cats. They don’t care about the pets of the people that live there. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Russia gets no Trump tariffs. Intriguing. In fairness to Russia, its only exports are death, misery, chaos, war crimes, and despair…and we’re fully supplied by the Trump Administration for those.

Trump is still pushing an unhinged fiction about the "glory days" of American protective tariffs, so I'll repost this CAMPAIGN TRAILS piece from last month: campaign-trails.ghost.io/tarri/

BREAKING: On the Daily Beans podcast this week, our #GoodTrouble segment was to call Josh Kaul and ask him to DO SOMETHING about Elon buying votes in Wisconsin. Well, guess what #Leguminati ? www.wkow.com/news/state/w...

The federal government has now become a Ponzi scheme to funnel taxpayer money to Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their buddies while slashing critical programs that help the people.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Trump wants to set rules for the way states run their elections and wants DOGE to audit voter databases. DOGE. Not an independent entity - his cronies. Mike Johnson is talking about eliminating district courts. These are not actions you see in a Democratic Republic.

NEW: At US House hearing on Capitol security, Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger says the failure of Congress to hang a plaque honoring the police heroes of January 6 has hurt officer morale

If nothing in the signal group chat was classified, than neither are the Venezuelan flight times (which i can track myself using the tail numbers that appear in propaganda videos shared on social media by trump and Rubio.)

Fox has been a disgrace for a long time, but last night was probably the most disgusting cocktail of lies from talentless hacks I have seen in two decades watching it. The only other period to rival it was the weeks after the 2020 election - which they paid $787 million for.

UPDATE: Trump has until tomorrow at noon to put up or shut up in the Alien Enemies Act case. I explain in laypeople’s terms.

This is not where we want to go People need to push back on this NOW

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted… And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. George Orwell, 1984

What would Elon Musk have been posting if Russia signed a cease fire offer 3 days ago with the US and Ukraine was refusing to sign it? What would Vance be posting? Trump? So why have all 3 been completely silent since Ukraine has signed it and Putin refuses?

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.
