Here’s what will happen to our National Parks if Trump’s budget passes. Did you know America’s national parks actually generate more income than they cost to operate? Yet under Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, the National Park Service (NPS) would face devastating cuts:

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

First on Democracy Docket: DOJ's new top voting lawyer previously worked for a prominent anti-voting legal group and has appeared with Cleta Mitchell. Her appointment highlights the Trump DOJ's sharp shift from protecting voting rights to restricting them.

This is why I have a hard time with the pundit rationale that Trump voters don't actually support him. Ernst was supposedly one of the 'good Republicans' - rational, struggled with the Hegseth nomination. But then she voted for him anyway & put out this horror. The cruelty is just under the surface.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Yes, AI hallucinates. But it's seldom talked about that the AI industry was built upon stealing the intellectual property of millions of people. Or that the data processing that makes AI possible is being done by low-paid developing world labor.

Trump just got SCOTUS to rule that 500,000 previously documented people are now undocumented. A reminder that whenever MAGA cultists claimed they only opposed "illegal" immigration and not "legal" immigration, they were lying. They oppose non-white people, because MAGA is a white supremacist cult.

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳 To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

Heads-up! Lots of spin from Trump that needs to be addressed on this U.S. steel deal. The question is not “is the deal done?” Ask, what IS the deal? B/c it appears that if this deal is done it will ultimately cede to Nippon (Japan) ownership of U.S Steel. (GIFT LINK) www.wsj.com/business/dea...

It’s a little known fact, but there are genuinely not that many planes available for deportation to be carried out on. ICE doesn’t have its own fleet of aircraft. It contracts with private companies to provide charter air service. And there aren’t that many unbooked airplanes + crew floating around.

You can't kick millions off Medicaid without forcing hospitals across America to close, especially in rural communities. People who've lost coverage will delay care and eventually head to the emergency room, uninsured. Every Senator needs to vote NO on these Medicaid cuts.
