Thank you @jimmykimmel.com for making it plain: the media is helping to push lies about what's happening in Los Angeles when literally ... almost NOTHING is happening in Los Angeles, EXCEPT for where ICE shows up and kidnaps people. The city is perfectly normal otherwise. Media: stop playing along!

One of my many fears is that the next Democratic president will spend too much time talking about "the importance of not dwelling on the past" instead of prosecuting every single one of the people responsible for this nightmare.

As part of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill," the House voted to end a retirement supplement aimed at helping federal employees who retire before they're 62.

This is probably the best feature I've read all year—an incredible feat of reporting, impeccably structured, and absolutely ecstatic and hilarious on a line level.

@jvl.bsky.social: "Having a mass of popular opposition to Trump visible this weekend is vitally important....If 100,000 people show up for Trump’s parade, but 5,000,000 people turn out across the country for No Kings rallies, who looks strong and who looks weak?" www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...

My statement on protests happening across the State of Maryland this weekend:

SCOOP: Details about Saturday’s “No Kings” protest are under watch by domestic intelligence centers, where analysts regularly distribute speculative threat assessments among federal, state, and local agencies, according to an internal alert obtained by WIRED. UNPAYWALLED:

Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here’s how to protect your privacy if you plan to protest. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Just in case it wasn’t already obvious, vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. making decisions about our health and giving bogus medical advice is not.

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

True story bro.

If you don’t know what Palantir is, or the people behind it, investigate. Or listen to @hcrichardson.bsky.social Heather Cox Richardson’s interview with Gil Duran on her YT channel. He goes through everything and connects the dots really well.

I'm not going to be able to do this forever.

The Dems civil war or directionless stories are crap. They are united vs Trump and heading for successful midterms .. after that the 2028 primaries the party will chart course. This non news hysterical analysis is why corporate media is failing

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

When 49.8% of voters elected a would-be dictator, we knew there would be bad days ahead. This is one of them. He’s determined to destroy Harvard if he can’t control it. And bribery is the main course at tonight’s dinner for his crypto pals. Stay strong, folks. This country is worth fighting for.

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead. No, it was working. They broke it. Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Many of the major changes Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service pushed at Social Security have been abandoned or are being reversed after proving ineffective, while others are yielding unintended consequences and badly damaging customer service and satisfaction.

They lean hard on federal employees to quit, then call those that do unpatriotic.

WARNING: When due process dies, it’s only a matter of who’s in charge and the table is turned.

📌Been on the road today, but I see after America elected a Russian president, the Vatican has elected an American Pope ...

Every generation has its defining test. This is ours. Don’t burn out – pace yourself, live your life, and keep pushing. We’re the torchbearers now. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/keep-your-...

The administration is trying to make it easier to fire federal employees so they can be replaced with Trump loyalist. Public comments are open until May 23. Please take some time to submit a comment.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

wanna a read a little bit of history about naan and then watch a bunch of mesmerizing videos of people making naan? i thought so. it's just nice buttondown.com/theswordandt...

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months
