I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

Just 5 days ago, I was on MSNBC explaining how (1) Musk has hurt too many people to be an ally to Democrats and (2) that he would try to find his way back to Trump sooner or later. Don't be surprised when Elon's at Mar-a-Lago in a couple of weeks.

CORRECTION: I have deleted a post about a CL ad for seat fillers for Trump's parade this weekend, but I think it's fake. While Fight Fight Fight LLC is real, I think "T-Mellon" events is a dead giveaway. Well-played, anonymous Craigslist poster!

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I really hope there's a clip of Harry Enten saying what he tweeted: This is one of Trump’s worst polls—net approval -16, widespread opposition to his "big, beautiful bill." The idea that things are going great for Trump just isn’t backed by the data.

Just in: David Hogg is leaving his position as DNC vice chair after the party voted to redo the role's election. This follows intense infighting, and as Hogg told us, anger with his plan to oust what he called "asleep at the wheel" incumbents in primaries around the US. 🎧 Listen to the ep here.

Abolish ICE. Abolish the DHS.

Is this capitalism?

I was promised 90 deals in 90 days

This sounds illegal. I don't think - though I'm not an expert - that the Guard can assist in law enforcement under the current authority Trump is claiming to use.

Fox News recently reported that Trump was the “former president” Archived: web.archive.org/web/20250605...

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

Donald Trump is targeting LA. He’s escalating the violence and putting troops on the streets. We’ll be in LA next Thursday for a special Zeteo live event with a panel of political experts, to talk fascism and take your questions. Buy your tickets now: www.eventbrite.com/e/zeteo-live...

Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes told City Council members Tuesday that he plans to stand up for the First Amendment rights of Seattle residents and expects to be jailed at some point for making that stand.

There's SOOOO much going on, but I feel like people w/right wing MoCs and governors should call and get an on the record comment about this. Establish a record of these shitholes letting this fly.

So it appears this failed "President" has now hit a new low on his approval rating Who could've predicted defunding EVERYTHING to give the richest people more tax cuts would be unpopular Or destroying our economy with his brainless tariffs?? Riddle me SHOCKED! Surprised!!!!

These cases--where ICE assaults someone and then ratchets up false claims against them to cover up their own crimes--are connected to the political cases, especially David Huerta, where ICE charged a felony after injuring a prominent union leader.

Donald Trump getting booed at the Kennedy Center made my night. 🍿

Of course corporate media paints the wrong picture. They’re part of the oligarchy. Don’t watch protests on the news. Go to one. Flood socials with images of the peace and community. Corporate media isn’t going to. We have to. We are the new media. I’ll see you at No Kings 6/14.

Indictment against @replamonica.bsky.social is finally docketed (note that Alina Habba announced it before polls closed yesterday). DOJ has now told at least 3 different stories about what happened (which conflict w/Baraka's story), which I'll return to. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

Citizen journalists are how we get the word out about the peaceful protests!

Ohio evangelical pastor Dominic Foor has been arrested on 23 counts of raping children. www.sciotopost.com/pickaway-cou...

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" would be the single largest transfer of wealth from the middle-class to the ultrawealthy in the history of our country. A gift to billionaires and megacorporations outsourcing jobs paid for by betraying American families.

This sentence sends a clear message that we will not tolerate crimes against children, and we will do everything in our power to identify predators, bring them to justice, and prevent future harm. Full press release: www.azag.gov/press-releas...

Do you remember What’s the Matter with Kansas? It argued that white working class people vote for culture war stuff against their economic interests. That work was based on the flawed assumption that voters know they do that. They don’t know and won’t unless we tell them.

More performative BS from Pam Bondi. January 6th is NOT the LA protests. Don’t let her lies stand without pushback.

On the left, Jesse Watters denouncing Comey for saying Trump should be 86’d and claiming it was a death threat. On the right, Jesse Watters describing Terry Moran’s firing from ABC as him being… 86’d. To misquote a line from the right, you don’t hate [Fox] enough.

Weird, right?

It's time for the evil sorceress to retire. But taking a break from the battlefield doesn't mean her personal life needs to suffer. We're delighted to share an excerpt from @jenniferklambert.bsky.social's Never the Roses! reactormag.com/excerpts-nev...

Operation Safe Online Summer shows what’s possible when law enforcement agencies come together with one goal—protecting our kids. I’m grateful to all our local, state, and federal partners for their teamwork. www.abc15.com/news/crime/m...

It took THREE WEEKS to get this indictment. I have to ask; how many grand juries did they shop before getting the indictment? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Trump: Tries to revoke visas of Chinese students with ties to the Communist Party Also Trump: Invites a member of an advisory body that seeks to broaden the Communist Party’s influence to an intimate dinner because he bought enough of Trump's memecoin

Bad actors are preying on Arizonans, especially older adults, with financial scams. The best defense is awareness: talk to your older loved ones on recognizing the signs of fraud. Learn more about common scams targeting seniors here: ncoa.org/article/top-... youtube.com/shorts/u2rfT...

"That didn’t just halt a flurry of novel federal voter registration efforts.It erased years of research that identified barriers to the ballot box among some of the most vulnerable communities, and how federal agencies could mitigate them." www.democracydocket.com/analysis/how...

Folks report they cleared out and idk what feds expected parking in a lot of squatting artists but it's something like "You fuckin fascist pigs get the fuck outta here you motherfuckers. You don't belong here, none of you fuckin belong here pieces of shit. Get the fuck outta my fuckin neighborhood."

Why settle for first place when you can tie for fifth?

Michigan evangelical church worship pastor William Johnson has been sentenced to 5-20 years in prison for placing a hidden camera in his church bathroom that recorded both children & adults. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

I joined 17 other state AGs to condemn the Trump administration for unlawfully deploying the California National Guard against protestors without coordinating with state leadership. Read our statement here: www.azag.gov/press-releas...

As a native Arkansan, this made me laugh out loud. Did you know her brother tortured and killed a dog but got off because their dad was the Governor? You can get away with rape and murder in that state as long as you’re kin to someone at the courthouse. Sarah is full of shit.

SLUTS VOTE!!!!!!

Honestly wild that Trump spent $90 million on a military parade while vets sleep on the streets and he defunded VA’s

That's why he lost in a landslide 🙄🙄🙄

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement division staged a big operation in the lot of Tempe’s Danelle Plaza on Wednesday.

But her laugh.

Trump probably doesn’t realize it, but he’s currently single-handedly rebuilding podcast-battered Newsom back to full fighting strength.

Our Marines are the best lethal fighting force in the world. They generally have not been trained in non-lethal weapons or crowd control. Sending them into a domestic situation against civilians is dangerous and threatens the very apolitical nature of our Armed Forces. - Mike Levin
