I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism often begins with the slow erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism under the guise of ‘security measures’.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

Gabbard & Ratcliffe lied under oath yesterday. It’s clear Hegseth shared attack plans via Signal. What else have they been discussing illegally? They should be fired—and the phones of everyone involved should be confiscated to identify any other secret chats they're hiding from the American people.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Our new tool, the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker, has already come under direct attack from Elon Musk. The attack itself is incoherent. He's upset we are exposing the truth about his efforts.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.

Those who would mock you for empathy have none themselves, and have told the world they are deserving of none. A true warrior knows that the willfully inconsiderate are not worthy of your consideration.

Hi Senator. Thanks for joining Bluesky. Can you use this space to explain why you're pushing a bill to remove Section 230, which would make it close to impossible for Bluesky to exist? www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

BREAKING: We're sending an open letter to universities across the country, offering support and urging them to reject pressure to punish international students and faculty for exercising their First Amendment rights. Schools must hold firm against the Trump administration's censorship attempts.

Received a message from a friend in Europe today: "Where are Americans? Why are they not in the streets??? The world needs a sign that the other half of America still exists!" On that note, worth reading from @benjaminwittes.bsky.social: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

1. EXCLUSIVE Popular Information has obtained an email, sent yesterday by a Trump administration official, explicitly instructing CFPB employees not to carry out activities REQUIRED BY LAW. This directly contradicts what administration lawyers told a federal court.

Moving the US economy is like trying to turn a cruise ship. It is difficult for any president to have a dramatic impact on it unilaterally in a short period of time. But it seems the guy who ran casinos, Trump Airlines, and dozens of other businesses into the ground has done it.

1. The Trump administration has crippled cancer and Alzheimer's research by imposing a freeze on all government credit cards at NIH. An NIH source with direct knowledge tell Popular Information that scientific research has ground to halt because necessary supplies can no longer be purchased.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Close to 18 million cases of malaria. A THIRTY TWO percent increase in TB. 200,000 cases of paralytic polio a year. And 28,000 cases of Ebola, Marburg and more. I don't have the capacity to envision the unimaginable suffering that will result from this.

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.
