“Never forget that your obligation is to the people. It is not, at heart, to those who pay you, or to your editor, or to your sources, or to your friends, or to the advancement of your career. It is to the public.” Bagdikian told us.   It is truly a shame that the Post has forgotten that.

i’m here you fuckaas bitch

If you're trying to keep up with the deportation cases, this is one of the most interesting interviews I've had the privilege of doing. Cecillia knows the cases because she's one of the lawyers litigating them. If you want the facts and the law all in one place, take a listen.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

I am seeing a lot of people posting about this anti-democracy provision of the GOP budget bill. Here is Democracy Docket’s coverage from last Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Only Republicans are able to wreck the federal government—making it incapable of performing basic functions from air traffic control to food safety inspections, and destroying morale among remaining employees—while still making the deficit even larger.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

⚡️Zelensky had to remind Trump peace talks already underway during call with EU leaders, Axios reports. Donald Trump told the leaders that Vladimir Putin agreed to start direct negotiations on a ceasefire immediately, which led to a few seconds of "puzzled silence," Axios reported.
