Missouri is one of the states that has agreed to hand over personal data of those receiving food assistance. The data would include social security numbers & addresses of recipients, causing concerns with some arguing that this request by the federal gov violates privacy laws. #Pinks

How did the Trump memecoin holders view tonight's black-tie dinner with Trump at his golf club in Virginia? “It’s kind of a fund-raiser” for Trump, said a Korean crypto executive who flew in from Seoul for it, “& he’ll always be good to his sponsors.”

NEW: As long you demonstrate support for Trump -- & claim that you were targeted by the Biden Justice Department because of that support -- you have a chance at a pardon, even if you previously pleaded guilty & apologized for your crimes.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

"Hidden inside their Big Ugly Bill is a provision intended to block the courts from using contempt to enforce its orders," writes former US labor secretary and Guardian US columnist Robert Reich. "Its only purpose is to weaken the power of the federal courts."

Farms rely on seasonal workers and undocumented immigrants, but the Republican’s plans to fill the gap would "legalize oppression", advocates say.

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...

The replies on Jake Tapper’s TikTok page 🤣

We love to see it.

Children are starving and being killed. People are suffering... and politicians across the planet just incite more suffering. It needs to stop. If we continue on his path... we will experience suffering and horrors that may destroy our civilization.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

The real problem is that we have a caste system in the United States. The Republicans believe in it deeply. There are worthy people and unworthy people. They are worthy and others are not.

Not only was the promise not kept, it’s like it never happened. We get it, there aren’t enough votes to pass real reform. Most of us are pragmatic—but to just drop it completely? To stop even talking about it, like it’s been erased? That’s the part that hits the hardest for me.

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

just absolutely insane that this is what Trump accused Biden of doing, and now he's done it himself.

I cannot emphasize this enough; people were live-tweeting imaginary gun battles between North Carolina sheriffs and FEMA stormtroopers, and the richest man in the world was one of them. People can now live in their own imaginary worlds if they want to, and they're choosing to, at scale.

The sheer barefaced dishonesty of a regime that is snatching people off the streets for their speech; painting over testimonials to women & minorities in US history; subjugating universities & trying to crush research into subjects it dislikes, standing as a champion of "free speech" is staggering.

Any news organization that covered that speech and didn't mention that he is clearly suffering from dementia & often incoherently rambling has abdicated their responsibility to truth in reportage. This abdication and failure, pretending he & his cult are normal, is a large part of how we got here.

Hope this helps!
