The longer this goes on the more agencies will fall. Very soon tech companies will be sending ICE to the immigrants in hiding. And to you. This is consolidating power and the narrative. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

A “For PROFIT PRISON?”

Thou shalt focus on the current president's throbbing insanity and dementia. The previous president is no longer president and so it no longer matters.

Ah yes, the “golden age.”

New in PN: The bribe in the sky "Trump flouts the rule of law and basic ethics because he believes no one will stop him, and a leader’s brazen self-enrichment is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. The grifting isn’t a distraction. It’s part of the fascist package."

There is a war on knowledge—and teachers are on the frontlines. I wrote Why Fascists Fear Teachers to answer the question many educators & parents are asking right now: Why the relentless attacks on public schools and on educators? It’s my first book!! You can pre-order it here: www.aft.org/book

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social Please get it right and appoint Rep Jasmine Crockett to Ranking Member of Oversight. This era of Trump chaos and corruption is not a time for “seniority.” It is time for competence and courage. Absolutely not lacking in Rep. Crockett.

‪What can we bribe you with today, Donnie? ‬

Sec. Duffy didn’t have answers—because ignorance is safer than admitting harm. Jen Psaki - “A couple of points for Mr. Real World… the Biden administration… passed the biggest infrastructure investment in American history… and managed to reverse [a decade-long] decline in air traffic controllers.”

Of course, throughout the whole world, there had to be one idiot who’d accept it. The American ‘President.’ Damn shame!

"Your agency acts as if laws don’t matter, as if the election gave you some mandate to violate the Constitution and the laws passed by this Congress. It did not give you that mandate." --Sen. Chris Murphy confronting DHS Secy Kristi Noem www.americaamerica.news/p/confrontin...

Where the fuck are the Republican senators and representatives? Where is Lindsey Graham? Where is Tom Cotton? Where is John Thune? What say you?

Flood social media with Obama appreciation. That should make Trump’s birthday a ‘happy’ one.😀

I gotta admit that I kinda miss the quiet old man who steered the economy out of a raging Trumpster fire without turning every day into a circus train to hell. What I wouldn’t give for a cup of Joe right now . . .

It’s the grift that keeps on grifting.

The voting section of the U.S. Department of Justice has only three attorneys left on staff, according to an estimate provided by a group working to support the department’s remaining staff.👀 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I agree 💯 with @markhamillofficial.bsky.social ! All of this while people like me are sick with cancer. My son suffers from cystic fibrosis. We are both fighting hard to protect our healthcare , Medicaid and Medicare . Are we angry yet ?

A little?!!

Get this corrupt grifter out of the White House!!! Impeach! Indict! Imprison!

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response. Full interview here: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Odd that those criticizing @gtconway.bsky.social for endorsing Diane Seltzer because he isn't a member of the DC Bar, ignore the fact that I have as well and I am a member. Vote Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president.

Let’s set aside that Pam Bondi used to rake in $115K a month from Qatar, and now says that “flying grift” is totally fine. On its face, this jet makes no sense as Air Force One. Hear me out: There’s supposed to be two identical Air Force One jets…

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Dan Goldman demands AG Pam Bondi come clean on if she is covering up the release of the Epstein Files to protect Donald Trump. In a blistering letter, Goldman demands answers on the unexplained delay.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Yes WTF??!!!🤬 It’s insane! It’s unethical! It’s quite possibly illegal. Is this what we have come to accept of the American presidency? NFW should any of this be possible. Get the narcissistic wannabe dictator out of our White House!

The Supreme Court Has Enabled Trump's Lawlessness Professor @leahlitman.bsky.social warns that the conservative majority of the Supreme Court will enable Trump's corruption and cruelty to achieve right-wing minority rule and a Christian nationalist utopia. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Amen!

🇺🇦🇻🇦 Pope Leo XIV: “I carry in my heart the suffering of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to achieve a true, just and lasting peace as soon as possible. May all prisoners be released and children returned to their families.”

Again.

Anti-vax imbeciles along with the worm brain running the HHS have successfully brought measles back.

Cause: Trump and DOGE laid off air traffic controllers and FAA safety personnel. Effect: - A shortage of 3,000 air traffic controllers nationwide - perpetual delays at major airports - thousands of flights cancelled due to staff shortages and safety concerns

A piece of info I’d like to know as nonstop coverage of a closed meeting continues: what % of the Cardinals voting on the new Pope are embroiled in child-abuse scandals in their parishes.? It’s a number larger than 1.

Spot on!

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.
