Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Before anyone gets too excited about this, see below. Elon is not on our side. He’s on Elon’s side. Which means they’re going to get back together. & what important developments will we have missed in the meantime? Ukraine? ICE detaining kids? The budget passing?

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust. Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

Heard earlier about a friend forced to move and find a new job bc his previous job got DOGEd and find myself thinking about how there are many, many such cases and, if I were a Dem campaigner, I would have them on TV and in local papers every day telling their story about how Trump/Musk harmed them

Internal documents revealed that Trump and Musk have been LYING about Social Security fraud. So I sounded the alarm about DOGE slowing down Americans' benefits based on those lies—and they backtracked. We're not letting DOGE get away with messing with Americans benefits.

Remember when Trump claimed the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene? Well, his administration just denied the state’s request for continued FEMA relief assistance. This hypocrisy isn’t just staggering. It’s cruel.

Trump math: $1M dinner + lots of kissing up = 1 pardon + erasing a $4.4M penalty. To Trump, it doesn't matter that Walczak stole millions from the paychecks of nurses and doctors to pay for a yacht. All that matters is how much money his family paid Trump.

Is your Memorial Day barbecue more expensive this year? Maybe because just 4 firms control 85% of the beef market, 66% of the pork market, and 54% of the poultry market. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging. https://youtu.be/NuvKoe9Ilvo?si=KoAExA3HWCDTN8L3

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care. Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care. I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

A provision in the proposed spending bill would restrict the authority of federal courts to hold government officials in contempt when they violate court orders. Without the contempt power, judicial orders are meaningless and can be ignored. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...
