DUE PROCESS is our PROCESS!! DIGNITY is our WAY!

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff. - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Marjorie Taylor Greene having a frenzied gavel tantrum when called out for using a doctored photo to smear a witness. Her frustration in the face of inconvenient truth is delightful.

Let’s all welcome MAGA Pope to his new roll in the world.

IF…

“What if you had ten golden toilets instead of twenty?” Jon discusses Trump’s hypocritical advocation for Americans to make due with less. An all-new The Weekly Show with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and Rep. Tom Suozzi drops tomorrow.

Brian Cox ~ The purpose of life?

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

NEW: Trump’s sons are raking in billions while crossing the globe: A luxury hotel in Dubai. A tower in Saudi Arabia. A new golf course in Qatar. A new private club in Washington. Trump and his family get richer. Working families get screwed.

ICYMI from Tuesday’s show. Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social explains the corruption behind Trump’s crypto coin scam. “He’s selling the White House,” Murphy says. Watch:

"America should be run like a business" makes perfect sense—if you don't think about it. Not only does the government provide services and resources that do not easily map to the business world’s profit/loss framework, but it's also designed to be a corrective force to the excesses of business.

The worst form of addiction that this country now faces is the greed of the oligarchy.

Uncertainty and fear around President Donald Trump's tariff policies have turned global markets on their head. CNN's Phil Mattingly looks at how American consumers are feeling about Trump's economy as he nears the 100 day mark in office.

In case you hadn't noticed:

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Tennessee lawmakers’ efforts to deregulate wetlands is nearing passage. WPLN’s @carolineeggers.bsky.social reports on who has supported the developer-sponsored bill.

"Ya gotta know what time it is.” @heathercmcghee.bsky.social on how Black Americans’ understanding of autocracy was shaped by Jim Crow and how that can inform a resistance to Trump.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

JUST IN: US stock futures declined sharply Sunday evening after two sessions of selloffs that wiped away over $5.4 trillion in market value

An early-returning species to northern Colorado, the Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides) is remarkably hardy while being distinctive and beautiful. This male was at 7,200 ft but they are also known to breed in areas above treeline, about 12,000 ft. #birds #birdsoftheworld #evergreen #bluebird

Planes crashing, economy crashing, democracy crashing, alliances crashing, national security crashing, American consumer confidence crashing, what did we think we were going to get by electing a lunatic? We’re getting exactly what we deserve for being so stupid as a nation. We’re better than this!

We are not OK, America. Speak out, then we will have hope! 🇺🇸

RFK Jr. has hired anti-vaccine activist David Geier to lead a study looking to link autism to vaccines, although that link has been heavily studied and thoroughly debunked. Geier does not have a medical degree & was disciplined in Maryland for practicing medicine without a license. M(aking)AGA

Timeline cleanse 🌞

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Tennessee lawmakers are considering a bill to remove protections for certain types of wetlands. WPLN's @carolineeggers.bsky.social reports the legislation is worded strategically to limit environmental regulations based on common development scenarios.

Developers could skirt local taxes by making a direct agreement with the state under a new TN Senate bill. WPLN's @mariannabac.bsky.social reports, if passed, a new state board could supersede cities' control where combined taxes on developers are above a certain rate.

Why is the American president promoting a BILLIONAIRE’s product at the White House while stealing jobs away from the middle class?? #stupidamerica

Stupid America. Trump doesn’t care about voters unless he can be reelected. Musk never had a vote and couldn’t care less about America.
