Senators are pushing for a fire sale of over 3 million acres of public lands—that’s an area larger than Connecticut. Families would lose access to some of their favorite trails and parks close to home. Once the land is sold and the no-trespassing signs go up, there is no going back.

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

President Donald Trump and his team were in contact with top congressional Republicans before US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but top Democrats were not told of his plans until after the bombs had dropped, according to multiple people familiar with the plans

Seems important.

The idea that self-censoring is a new form of oppression forced on white men rather than a normal part of having a prefrontal cortex and existing in society is some of the biggest bullshit in the centrist/right wing coalition gender grift

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

The National Institutes of Health will phase out its support of the clinical practice guidelines that advise doctors how to diagnose and treat HIV.

I'm sorry, I just woke up but WHO is suffering here???

Voice of America gutted by Trump adviser Kari Lake My story from earlier today: www.npr.org/2025/06/20/n...

"Two men accused of robbing Joint Base Lewis-McChord, hoarding weapons at a Lacey home and being white nationalist extremists have pleaded not guilty to several crimes."

Steve Bannon says Kayleigh McEnany is “infantile”, and says Fox and Sean Hannity should be investigated because their coverage on the Middle East suggests they represent a foreign government.

Swalwell: You were promised lower prices on day one. How many of you are feeling those lower prices? You were promised an end to all wars on day one. How many of you have seen an end to those wars? Donald Trump is 0 for 150. He made those promises on day one—and now we’re on day 150.

The Supreme Court's third decision is a 6–3 split, conservatives vs. liberals, in McLaughlin v. McKesson, with Kavanaugh writing for the court. This bad outcome further weakens the power of federal agencies, an ongoing project for the supermajority. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children. The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican. 67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans. www.whoismakingnews.com

New for @teenvogue.com: Republicans love to talk about how much they care about the American worker, but the Trump admin’s anti-worker, anti-regulatory, anti-science agenda is putting millions of workers in danger—and more of them are going to die because of it www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

Trump is currently on Air Force One on his way to his golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey for a fundraiser at our expense. The combined cost of this trip will be over $20 million. Just one more reason that all elections should be required to be fully publicly funded, for every candidate and party.

Ouch. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100. Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC. This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.
