The end of US leadership in science, technology, and innovation. All in one little table. A tremendous gift to China, courtesy of the GOP. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

Been saying this for awhile, but will repeat it for emphasis: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

NPR is suing Trump. Why? Because he slashed their funding just for doing their job—which is political retaliation. He’s trying to silence public media because they don’t bow down to his ego. News flash: the First Amendment doesn’t disappear just because you don’t like the coverage, Donnie.

According to Hakeem Jeffries, Trump has instructed the GOP to “erase” January 6th from history! Fat chance.

Statement from Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson on the Passing of Congressman Charles B. Rangel.

I want to hear from the bettors who think the Rapture will come AND that Polymarket will still be paying out bets in the aftermath

DOJ files for 30 more days to answer complaint in Abrego Garcia. That’s needlessly dilatatory, but it’s the sort of motion that is routinely granted. Not this time. Judge Xinis denies it and orders them to file today. More concrete cost for their shabby lawyering and squirrelly evasions.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Voters overwhelmingly think ALL Americans should have access to vaccines — not just those who are immunocompromised.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Because free speech.

Not a coincidence.

"Paul Weiss, right now, looks completely neutered and ineffectual – and who the hell wants to hire a law firm that is neutered and ineffectual?" Marc Elias

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.

Remember when Elon said SpaceX could land on Mars in 2026 or 27? Well, just a heads up: SpaceX will not land on Mars in 2026 or 27.

I was hesitant to write this obituary. Struggle as I might, I don’t have a grand life lesson of his life; nor I any clear meaning to make of his death. I’m just heartbroken that he’s gone. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-m...

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Per a police report, the boy, who is nonverbal, would not stop playing with blocks and go to P.E. A substitute teacher then dragged him to the gym by his ankle. A staffer photographed the dragging and alerted school leadership. By @jsmithrichards.bsky.social‬ & @jodiscohen.bsky.social‬

For the media, political leaders, my fellow citizens - apply the “Barack Test” as you witness the dismemberment of our democracy. What would you have said/done if Barack had done what the Trump administration is doing almost daily. Why are you quiet now? Time to get vocal, committed and ACTIVE.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
