The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court on Friday to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Add your name to the petition to demand the Office of Government Ethics investigate Trump, his family, the administration, and all members of Congress for any unethical recent market trades! sign.moveon.org/petitions/di...

Kristi Noem….certified ba….dumbass. My latest.

The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me. Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

In America last year, nearly 40 million workers made less than $17 an hour. Unacceptable. Nobody in America can make it on $7.25 an hour, $9 an hour or $12 an hour. We need an economy in which all of our workers earn a living wage.

A fight is BREWING: Commander of U.S. European Command warns—don’t pull Troops from Europe. It puts allies at risk. Meanwhile, Trump’s tanking the economy and silencing anyone who pushes back. So who’s Trump really siding with—our military, or Putin? Seems pretty damn clear.

🚨 NEWS: The IRS and DHS have signed an agreement to share confidential tax data for suspected undocumented immigrants. Follows our reporting that this deal was imminent — and would cover **7 million** suspected undocumented folks. More to come… www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It’s clear: Trump and Musk want to make it harder and harder for the elderly and disabled to utilize Social Security. They don’t care how much pain they cause. Their ultimate goal is to make Social Security dysfunctional, to privatize it and to let Wall Street take it over.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

For 50 years, Voyageurs National Park has brought millions of people from around the world to see all that the Land of 10,000 Lakes has to offer - remote island camping, paddling, world-class fishing, and abundant winter activities. Happy birthday, Voyageurs!

Manufacturing jobs in America are now being phased out with China being cheaper and better than the rest of the world including US!

big lesson for america here: one reason you dont elect people who believe bull shit like "theyre eating the pets" or "theyre putting kitty litter boxes in the classrooms" is bc if they get in power theyll believe bull shit like "tariffs are a tax cut actually"

my offer to america: we bring woke back

Resign!!

China refused to bow to what it called "blackmail" from the United States as a global trade war ignited by Trump's sweeping tariffs showed few signs of abating on Tuesday.

sound up

You hear that, fired Veterans, Veterans left without care, and those who can’t afford groceries because of Trump? Don’t be a PANICAN. He thinks you’re “weak and stupid.”

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

What do you think of Republican #Texas Governor #GregAbbott slow walking a a special election to replace #Houston Rep. Turner that will not be held until November, 2025 in order to keep Republicans slim US House majority in meantime? #HoustonTexas #HoustonTX #UniversityOfHouston #HarrisCounty #TX

Unbelievable!

NEW: The Venezuelan military says it has raised its alert level following the discovery of an alleged U.S. plot to fabricate an incident at an ExxonMobil offshore platform in the contested waters between Venezuela and Guyana to justify an armed conflict.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Poor Baby Elon! A bit more ketamine should help you out.

"The WI win means the momentum heading into 2026 is on the left. If we could win a race into which the world's richest man just dumped in tens of millions of dollars, then think about what that bodes for 2026 when the GOP will be forced to split its resources among hundreds of battleground races."

What Canada, Mexico, Japan, the UK, and the European Union should do in response to Trump’s grossly irresponsible tariffs https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-canada-mexico-japan-the-uk-and

I hope Wall Street has figured out two things: 1. Trump is a disaster for the U.S. economy. 2. There is no price at which many of us would ever buy a Tesla. I wouldn't take it for free with a $5,000 rebate. I think they have an inkling of the first but are still in denial about the second.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Big Law firms and partners have choices about whether to capitulate or to stand tall. History is watching.

Trump asserts powers he does not have, tramples over federalism and contravenes the Constitution’s plain text. If there were an award for the most illegal and unconstitutional action by a president, this order would be a top contender. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Dems won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race—and it wasn’t even close. Trump won WI by 1 point in 2024. Susan Crawford is up by 10. Elon Musk threw in $25M. VoteVets saw it coming and dropped six figures early. Elon’s billions won’t save the GOP. And to those backing his agenda—you’re on notice.

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

Workers who want to join unions should not be afraid of big corporations like Wells Fargo. Workers must be able to bargain for better wages, better hours, and better working conditions without illegal corporate intervention. We must pass the PRO Act.
