Interesting! but please note, have not checked the references so sharing without knowing fully if all information holds up as actual facts substack.com/home/post/p-...

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

Listen to @timmiller.bsky.social on MAGA’s response to the Minnesota shooting, why it shows the deep sickness in all of us when it comes to horrific political violence and why we have to have more empathy for our fellow Americans

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Police search for a suspect in ‘targeted shootings’ in eastern Minnesota

This is a shocking development. Two leading Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota were shot in their homes early this morning by a man possibly impersonating a police officer. This is the kind of violence we have been warning about. www.fox9.com/news/brookly...

Two Minnesota lawmakers are in grave condition following apparent “targeted” shooting, officials say Authorities believe the shooter was impersonating law enforcement

😳😮😲. As the Joe Turns

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

For a number of years, Russia has engaged in a covert campaign of intimidation and disruption against Estonia using cyber-attacks, undercover agents, sabotage and legions of disinformation bots on social media. Estonians now fear invasion https://econ.trib.al/EdXTSn4

Still mind-boggling to me that Trump paid absolutely no reputational price in the media for massively endangering 🇺🇸 national security & shredding our credibility in int’l negotiations by unilaterally withdrawing from the JCPOA. Literally, it had no effect on The Narrative™️ of coverage about him 🤷‍♂️

Rep. Pat Ryan: "Mr. Secretary, I don't say this lightly but I have to say this on the record: I think your tenure as Secretary of Defense has been shameful and weak and you should resign."

Jon, Jill Lepore and @kevinmkruse.bsky.social discuss the many ways Trump has learned to entrench his power and how we may be able to fight back. An all-new The Weekly Show is out now!

In 2010, the Supreme Court's conservative justices made it easier for Republican lawmakers to pass permissive gun laws. In the years that followed, 7,398 more children than expected died of gun violence ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Republicans are jamming through the GENIUS Act which will turbocharge Donald Trump’s crypto corruption. We need an amendment vote to stop the President, Vice President, and senior government officials from directly or indirectly profiting from a stablecoin venture.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Leader Thune is blocking critical amendments that would fix the GENIUS Act – including stopping Donald Trump from lining his pockets with shady crypto deals. Democrats have the power to push for fixes to this bill. We should use it.

My God that poor child screaming while her family is taken. My God. The violence of this.

The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country allow him to do.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

"In your last conversation with Trump, what did he say?" @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He never brought up the National Guard. Stone cold liar. Said he did. Stone cold liar. Never did. Didn't even really want to talk about LA."

“Even if most Americans haven’t abandoned their private sense of empathy, many don’t seem terribly bothered by the rancidness of their leaders,” writes George Packer. “It might be the ugliest effect of Trump’s return”:

This @vanityfair.com investigation of RFK lieutenant Calley Means is a must-read, and includes compelling evidence that his claim to fame as a Coca-Cola whistleblower is totally made up. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

This story deserves its spot on Page One. It’s a disaster.

Really great (and terrifying ) read! open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

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...

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

“The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. “If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us."

„The worst thing the rich ever did to the poor was not to take our houses or our money, it was to make us as selfish as they are” great insight from @garyseconomics.bsky.social

Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill." They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday. Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.
