This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

The public record is often written by those in power, but we can write our own. Let’s take ownership of our history. Let’s make sure our protests are counted. Let’s commit to documenting each action like it matters because it does. We count. Our protests count. Let’s make sure the world knows it.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

Reasonable to ask if we are now oppressing the Russian opposition at Putin’s behest. theins.press/en/news/280037

In a nutshell: — The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence. — The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information. Arrest them. Immediately.

Dear journalists: stop giving this administration the benefit of the doubt. Stop using old editorial standards and practices and norms. Assume that everything they say from the get-go is a lie because it always, always, is.

Top GOP Senator Roger Wicker just called for an investigation into Trump officials for sending classified military plans on Signal and lying about it under oath. This is turning into a massive scandal that even Republicans can’t ignore.

Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

SitRep - 26/03/25 - Russian terror in Kharkiv and Dnipro continues An overview of the daily events in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Does Russia really want to stop this war? It doesn't look like it. Missile and drone terror on Ukrainian cities continues. REPOST=appreciated 1/X

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed” The chat:

Breaking: Top Trump officials’ private data and passwords have surfaced online, including Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz, and Tulsi Gabbard. This data could potentially be used by America’s enemies to hack into the unsecured Signal chat where they discussed war plans.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

I've noticed that using children as political props is popular with a certain type of politician.

1. EXCLUSIVE An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency. The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result. Follow this thread for details. 🧵

When elected officials aren’t allowed to question those in power, your democracy is in full collapse. Assemblymember and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani held back by police for trying to question Trump’s ethnic cleansing head Tom Homan. #FuckICE (📷 @mahoneyw)

These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.

NEW: A now-deleted list containing hundreds of US government properties that the General Services Administration (GSA) plans to sell includes most of a sprawling, highly sensitive federal complex in Springfield, Virginia that also houses a secretive CIA facility, WIRED has learned.

REPORTER: Would a Russian oligarch be eligible for a gold card? TRUMP: Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

This exchange is going to slip by and go undercovered but this is a very revealing moment. Trump’s government won’t study anything, they will just tell us everything is going great no matter who gets hurt. ‘1984’ is upon us.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.
