While we revel in the very wee audience for the tyrant's birthday, we have to keep vigilant for footage like this which is crucial to keeping truth at the forefront of this day.

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

HEGSETH: The mission in Los Angeles is about maintaining law and order REED: Excuse me. Law and order is a civil function under the Constitution of the United States

This one was emotional. I read thousands of project abstracts that could've helped fix the problems that cause so many Black women to die in childbirth, encouraged young girls to become engineers, and helped women escape abuse. Years of progress, gone. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

The NLRB’s new budget proposal cuts $14M from an already underfunded agency, while claiming it’ll handle more cases with fewer staff. Worse, it quietly erases know-your-rights trainings. Read the latest from TCF senior fellow & former NLRB chair Lauren McFerran.

Why is the felon not being asked about this? It seems just a tad relevant at the moment.

Are we in a sci-fi movie? Is this the Twilight Zone? Unfortunately, it’s worse. Not only is our data at risk due to DOGE and the Administration—but Congress itself is currently trying to deregulate AI and data privacy protections across the country in the big abomination of a bill.

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

Why are they detaining a reporter? WTF??

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.

Since I've seen some confusion: "deployed" means sent from their home base to another location. It doesn't necessarily mean taking actions in that new location. In this case, mobilized means the same - they're being moved from their normal base to LA in preparation for potential action.

Looking at you, Nancy Mace.

But don’t let facts get in the way.

For many veterans, Memorial Day is a time of reflection. It can be a dull ache. It can be a visceral pain. Please bear in mind that for so many veterans & Gold Star families, there is no Happy in Memorial Day. To our veterans, I can only wish you some moments of peace as we remember your friends.

Josh "Runs like a bitch" Hawley (MO) brings up abortifactants with lies about their safety. Fun fact: MO voters enshrined abortion in their constitution because MO politicians work against the will of the people. Abortion drugs are extremely safe.

Let me let you in on a little secret: The GOP is trying to sneak Trump’s policy wish list, aka his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” into law through a budget gimmick.

On #MothersDay we recognize Maribel who's worked 15+ yrs in CAs blueberries & grapes. This mother is a powerful advocate for other mothers. “I work under high temperatures up to 108°. The heat feels like 120° when you are working in the fields. We deserve protection." #WeFeedYou

Imagine failing 5th grade geography... in Congress.

If you thought Operation Whirlwind couldn’t get any more unhinged, think again. Ed Martin has been caught ghostwriting online posts attacking judges, including both federal and state officials overseeing cases tied to Trump and his allies.

FEMA chief David Richardson just told his staff, “Don’t get in my way, I will run right over you.” at his introductory meeting. A threat to FEMA workers who might resist Trump’s agenda. What matters now is loyalty. Obey or get steamrolled. This is how authoritarianism works—one agency at a time.

Must read from Josep Borrell. "“We’re facing the largest ethnic cleansing operation since the end of the second world war in order to create a splendid holiday destination" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

SCOOP: Trump has appointed right-winger Ed Martin to be assoc. deputy attorney general who will investigate DOJ probes of Trump & the 1/6 rioters. But Martin has defended J6 rioters & pushed 1/6 conspiracy theories. We found a video in which he calls the 1/6 riot a "hoax." And he's investigating it?

The #AltGov fam is starting a new hashtag dedicated to recognizing citizen efforts now and throughout history. This is the first post. See the full 🧵 #AltCitizen

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

NOAA has canceled the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative. NCRC was @cig-uw.bsky.social’s largest source of funding to work with rural communities and Tribes across WA, OR and ID to adapt and build resilience to climate impacts such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, and sea level rise.

This is disturbing. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This phrasing of the ICE action in Worcester, MA as a kidnapping is horrifically accurate You cannot deprive a person of their liberty without either probable cause that the person committed a crime or a warrant to arrest that person That’s directly stated in the 4th Amendment of the Constitution

Donald Trump is taxing the American people with his tariffs, and they have a right to know exactly how much. I'm introducing legislation with @raskin.house.gov to require retailers to show consumers precisely how much the tariffs are increasing the prices of their products.

He literally doesn't know anyone who isn't on TV.

🧵1/ BIG NEWS!! CDC just dropped a landmark report — the first US data on RSV hospitalizations after rollout of the maternal vaccine and infant antibody. What happened? Hospitalizations in babies under 3 months fell nearly 50% vs pre-pandemic years. Quietly, radically effective.

👏 Exemplar of executive action, by Gov. Pritzker. This is how one responsibly wields the power of the executive branch.

Yo resisters! Let’s all pack the house and be like Emily Feiner, #altCitizen of the week. Ms. Feiner was removed because she asked NY congressman Mike Lawler what his red line was for all the fraud and corruption. He didn’t answer, and when she persisted, she got tossed out. #Resist in peace ✌️

Young #AltCitizen alert!! A 9-year-old from New Jersey is going viral for his amazing response to Captain Brainworm’s remarks about people with #autism. Way to go, Teddy!!!

NEW: Republican Jefferson Griffin has conceded the North Carolina Supreme Court race to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs — finally bringing an end to the last unresolved contest from the 2024 election.

More of this please.

We need to reclaim our democracy from dark money secret influence.

Excellent thread! Please take the time to read it, share it and ponder their question. WE, as in you and I and the #altgov, #altfam and #AltCitizen are going to be the ones to save democracy and our country. No one is coming to save us. Do what you can but please don’t do nothing! 💗

I’m sure Trump will hire this fine young lad to run calculations for NASA or as a radar engineer at the FAA. We can’t have none of that DEI nonsense!

I feel bad for this guy’s HS classmates who came close to kicking his ass and then decided he wasn’t worth it.

Biden accuses Trump of ‘modern-day appeasement’ towards Russia
