On russian Telegram: Propagandists call to eradicate pensions in russia 🤔 Russia has called for the abolition of pensions. 1/2

I remain amazed at the number of people who seem willing to publicly declare things that seem likely to get them a visit from law enforcement. Please don't tag me in posts in which you describe your fantasies of committing felonies.

On russian Telegram: Russians secretly welcome the return of Radio Liberty 1/3

The CIA's Tibet op was buried in secrecy for decades—until an anthropologist cracked the code. Carole McGranahan found what even declassified files wouldn’t say out loud. Sometimes, the truth hides in plain sight… until someone decides to dig. www.rfa.org/english/tibe...

The Trump Admin has halted childhood lead poisoning prevention programs – putting kids’ health at risk in order to fund their billionaires-first tax scheme. Today, Sec. Kennedy falsely claimed there’s a team in Milwaukee. Is he lying, clueless. or just ill-informed?

Blumenthal to Noem: "Some of the expenditures your department is making- $200m for an ad campaign fawning over Trump's supposed accomplishments...none of these expenditures are in your budget...you're just spending recklessly & it would seem wastefully without authorization. That's against the law."

Trump's use of the Guantanamo Bay naval base to house migrants appears to cost $100,000 per day for each detainee, ā€œprime example of wasteful government spendingā€, U.S. Senator Gary Peters said during a hearing on Tuesday.

Trump just announced he won’t impose additional sanctions on russia. Why? Because he’s a great negotiator. Apparently, the best way to stop a war is to reward the aggressor, lift pressure, and hope they change their mind out of gratitude.

Russia is apparently planning to arm satellites with nuclear warheads. Their detonation could destroy satellite infrastructure and possibly trigger a military escalation on Earth, write @julianasuess.bsky.social and Jonas Schneider @swp-intsecurity.bsky.social: www.swp-berlin.org/en/publicati...

ā€œBruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America," Young said in a message to Trump. "You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza? That’s your problem. I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. www.rawstory.com/neil-young-t...

Patel helped spur the creation of the Office of Internal Auditing he's now closing when he attacked the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, applications seeking court permission to wiretap a former Donald Trump campaign adviser during he Russia investigation. www.rawstory.com/fbi-kash-pat...

My staff heard directly from those detained at ICE detention facilities. Mahmoud Khalil: ā€œThe moment you walk into Jena, your rights remain outside.ā€ Rumeysa Ɩztürk: ā€œThey treat us like animals.ā€

20 May 1921 | A Polish Jew, Dawid Cukier, was born in Radom. A baker. In #Auschwitz from 6 June 1942. No. 37455 He perished in the camp on 26 July 1942.

somewhere in the great beyond there’s a bar full of people who just yelled NORM!

šŸ¦‹ Jake Tapper's book is released today, attacking the mental acuity of President Joe Biden who delivered the greatest economic recovery of any country from the ravages of Covid At a time when Mike Johnson appears to save Trump from going headfirst into a pillar - surely a sign of mental decline šŸ¦‹

House Republicans are so ashamed of the GOP Tax Scam that they are planning a 1 AM committee meeting tonight to jam it through Congress. In today's Democratic Daily Download, @repmcgovern.bsky.social breaks down what's in this ugly bill and what Democrats are doing to stop it.

Shut it down.

Republicans are charging ahead with their plan to rip health care from millions of people, take food from hungry children and hand billions in tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy—all while adding trillions to the national debt. It is a cruel betrayal of hardworking American families.

If the GOP gets behind Trump’s spending bill, it’ll be THE END of Healthcare For Millions of Americansā€¼ļø VOTE šŸ—³ļø NO 🚫 #RepublicansVoteNoOnTheSoCalledBigBeautifulBill

My father was a Nazi hunter, until he was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, when I was four. Now, a man will stand trial for the crime. What does it mean, after nearly forty years, to seek justice for the crimes of history? My new cover story for the Times Magazine: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/m...

So interesting that South Africa is changing their laws to allow Starlink to operate… right at the time they need to curry favor with Elon and Trump. Elon is making a killing off his access to this administration.

It seems like the head of the Department of Homeland Security should know what habeas corpus is. Especially since it is a pillar of the Constitution, the WH Policy Director has said publicly that they may suspend it, and DHS will have to enforce that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Blumenthal: ā€œYou’re just spending recklessly, and it would seem wastefully without authorization. That’s against the law.ā€ Noem: ā€œWell, Senator, I completely disagree with you.ā€

"...inserted the following language" ā€œNo court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….ā€ This šŸ‘‡ šŸŽÆāš ļøā€¼ļø

The cuts are bad enough, bill's poison pill(s) may be worse. "Please call your members of the House and Senate (202-224-3121), and whatever media outlets you can reach, to highlight this issue and demand that this provision be stripped from this legislation." hartmannreport.com/p/the-final-...

If you want peace in Ukraine, pressure Russia. If you want war, don’t. The Trump people only make concessions. Which is exactly what the Kremlin expected. The US through its astounding weakness is making the war longer and bloodier than it has to be.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

The EU has approved its 17th sanctions package against Russia, targeting nearly 200 shadow fleet ships. New measures also address hybrid threats and human rights. More sanctions on Russia are in the works. The longer Russia wages war, the tougher our response.

"... the Sneetches got really quite smart on that day, The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches, And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches. That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars And whether they had one, or not, upon thars." ~ Dr. Suess www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...

It’s a pay to play scam. Buying Trump’s worthless meme coin gets you access and favors; and allows Trump and the a buyers to pretend it’s not a bribe. Joe MAGA won’t be at Trump’s shit coin dinner.

For the few who’ve criticized my criticism of Jake Tapper new book sensationalizing the stunning revelation that Biden is old and the media’s nonstop focus on that subject: It’s cheap and tawdry and draws the focus from the old, corrupt, declining, malicious, authoritarian bully in office NOW!

We dig in on the "woke right" label, and Ye, and it inspired this delightful show title. Get it here ā¬‡ļø

1/ Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer-Prize-winning author, writes, "Before it’s too late, everyone who can do so must communicate what is happening: our gov't, foreign policy, & trade policy are being transformed, not to benefit Americans but to benefit the president, his family, his friends." Gift link.

CISA hasn’t issued any nation state advisories at all since December 2024.

Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in ā€œassaultsā€ on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys. Because these people are lying scum.

BREAKING: Trump is trying to wipe out AmeriCorps—a critical pillar of civil service We @democracydefendersfund.org won't allow it We & wonderful labor & other partners just filed a preliminary injunction to stop this madness

Jon Stewart roasts CNN for their nonstop promotion of the Biden book.
