So Elon admitted he spent millions to help a man he believed was a child molester become President of the United States and Trump gave a man he believed to be an active drug addict, Elon Musk, the keys to the entire US Government. Do I have that right?

👇💯👇

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

Trump’s ICE militia is deploying to US streets as if it’s the US military on the streets of Fallujah. George W Bush gave us the war on terror. Donald Trump is giving us fascism and white supremacy. What a combo.

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

This was their plan. This is what they want. They picked LA on purpose.

Speak Truth......to Conspirators.....

Will the Trump regime use this to declare emergency powers? www.huffpost.com/entry/stephe...

We are about to have a lot of National Guard ILLEGALLY on the streets of Los Angeles

I'm all for this!!

While the President can request a governor to deploy the National Guard, the governor has the final decision on whether to deploy their state's Guard. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

🙋‍♂️and I would do it all over again.

This week, Republicans confessed they didn't bother reading the budget bill. If they read it, they would have discovered that they voted to rip away healthcare, food, & other essential resources from millions of our shared constituents. The sham & shame of it all. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Exactly

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days. Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House. It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

Good on @marcelias.bsky.social and ELG for not bending the knee to Trump. Good on them for fighting back. If everyone acted with this degree of courage, we wouldn't be in the crisis we're in right now.

The president is laser focused on the big issues

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Absofuckinglutely 💯% agreed!!

Much of the media's attention is focused on what harm Pete Hegseth's reckless irresponsibility might do to him, when it should be focused on what harm it could have done to our troops--and *will* do to our relationships with allies, especially in Europe.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

American Public Schools Didn’t Cause This. The Religious Right did! You Could See It Coming In The 1980s.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

I'm guessing that about 35% of the population never studied history or literature...

Who ever did this, is a fucking genius! Love it! 😂😂😂

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."
