Coming up next Saturday—a week from tomorrow.

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Remember family hikes, summer camps, and fishing trips? Trump’s budget slashes funding for parks and environmental protections, all to hand billions in tax breaks to the ultra-rich. These aren’t just cuts. They are a betrayal of the places we all love.

Can't wait to see everyone there! #nokings #indivisible

While cutting protections for miners. Workers are expendable in this administration's view as expressed in their budget and policies.

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

Fascinating and a must-listen for everyone who cares about keeping our democracy. Know they enemy.

Midnight, June 7 is the deadline to comment on the revised Schedule F, Trump's plan to politicize the civil servants by converting them into at-will appointees that can be fired for the mildest pushback against illegal actions. It's easy - here is how: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/last-day-t...

It has always been about the money.

"It bears repeating: the power to decide over whether a study meets the Trump administration’s 'standard' would rest in the hands not of scientists but of political appointees, who could use this power to discard any evidence that doesn’t give them an answer they want."

There is nothing pro-worker, pro-states' or individuals' rights, pro-environment, or pro-democracy in the budget bill. Further enriching the rich and impoverishing everyone else is the goal. The dead don't resist.

Kinda confusing in one's brain when identifying friends and foes isn't one's strong suit.

Not sure who spilled more tea, Elon and Trump, or the Boston Tea Party.

See you there! NoKings.org

We had an unknown female visiting the tower this afternoon. Hopefully we'll start to see more exploration of the Campanile soon!

Short-sighted shills for big oil.

A genealogist has discovered that Pope Leo XIV has Creole roots in New Orleans, where Black Catholics are now celebrating "Pope Leo of the 7th Ward."

Good news, especially if it holds.

Sounds about right.

Ah, the golden age.

I feel so sorry for federal workers. Got a call back from SS today. The poor woman responded to my question with "I don't know". Upon further clarification, it was "Oh, God, I don't know! I guess you could ...". She didn't seem to have any options other than to say what she did (or didn't) know.

Commerce Department employees who were fired, reinstated, and fired again learned belatedly that their health insurance has been cut off. Some had already racked up thousands in medical bills.

Dolts!

In dire situations, stress can make us panic and impair our ability to make lifesaving decisions. Emergency response professionals share the tactics they use to stay cool and collected on the job.

The CBO estimates that Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which is stuffed with tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, will explode the deficit by $2.4T and kick 10.9M people off their health insurance. This has always been the GOP strategy: socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

The Congressional Budget Office just confirmed that the Big Beautiful Bill is, in Elon Musk’s words, a “disgusting abomination.” This exposes Republicans’ lies — this bill will rip health care away from millions of people and jack up the debt to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Thanks to all of you who joined us earlier today for another successful phonebank that drove hundreds of calls to Susan Collins’ office. Every Wednesday and Thursday this month, you can help us call voters in key states to connect them with their GOP senators and stop Trump’s Tax Scam. 👇

“We cannot roll back the clock to a former era where America became economically paralyzed due to oil embargoes and dirty manufacturing.” Thank you @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social for standing up to Trump and Congressional Republicans’ attacks on clean energy 👇

White House is already making up data and analysis, saying repeatedly that the budget bill will - not increase the deficit (lie) - not cut Medicaid (lie) We are already there.

Oligarchs are addicted to greed. In 1982, there were just 13 US billionaires worth $14 billion. Today, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, there are 903 US billionaires worth $6.8 trillion. Enough is enough. We need an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.
