Khanna: "This is not something the president will be able to spin. Either we're gonna see new factories come, or we're not. And tariffs just aren't going to do that."

Marco Rubio and Kristi Noem kidnapped a woman who was grateful she got her taxes done before they kidnapped Rümeysa Öztürk. www.propublica.org/article/rume...

Also last night: Rubio, instead of working, attended UFC gladiator fights as a craven lackey to his masters Trump & Musk. Musk’s 4 yr old looked on in horror as a kneeling fighter with a broken face turned tower after towel red with blood, and the crowd roared with delight.

Over 200 folks standing tall in front of Tesla Motors today in Lyndhurst, OH to make sure their voices were heard - loud and clear! #teslatakedown

It’s weird that so many centrists imagine they can soothe fascism by bringing more “conservative” profs to campuses. (The current right isn’t conservative.) The entire fascist leadership apparatus is the product of elite schools. Is the problem that colleges need to produce *more* for that class?

KARL: We are gonna see higher prices. It's not like you can open a factory tomorrow to build iPhones or make sneakers. Are we gonna become a nation of cobblers again? This is gonna mean higher prices, isn't it? LUTNICK: I don't necessarily think so

Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?

3 facts that should drive the news: 1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud. 2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities. 3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Is this first time Simpsons got the future wrong?

It’s no longer safe for Australians to go to America. This is insane. We ALL have American friends. Mine are like family. Dear god.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

oh, FUCK THIS! we're truely losing it here in this country... all the Jan 6ers get pardoned but no 1st ammendment for him.

Staffers Walk Out of RFK Jr.’s Slur-Ridden Speech About Deep State - The Daily Beast What a disgrace you are. To our country, and your families legacy.

Say his name. Kilmar Abrego Garcia Bring him back !!!

If the government can “deport” you for having beliefs they don’t like, none of us is free. Call it what you want, but it sure as shit ain’t democracy.

After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.

Last I checked Trump had an EO prohibiting antisemitism in his Federal govt. Pimping a guy who stans Hitler would seem to violate the EO but maybe I'm misunderstanding how it all works.

I'm really trying to figure out how to use Trump's EO purporting to oppose antisemitism against this. Why is the Naval Academy excluded?

US judge rules Mahmoud Khalil can be deported for his views www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

CDC unable to respond to lead crisis due to funding cuts.

Nine big law firms have committed to nearly $1 BILLION in "free" legal work for Trump in exchange for nothing more than the ability to keep doing the ordinary legal work they do. As he puts it, they "paid me." We've all been focused on the bribe; but pay attention to the war chest.

Let me try this again, because everyone's focused on the morality of the $ 1 billion in bribes Trump's squeezed from law firms. Yes, big time lawyers are shmucks. Not news. What's news? A $1 billion war chest in legal fees Trump will dole out to fascist supporter orgs.

Florida 2000 all over again.

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... 1) Now begins the business of favoritism, special pleading, and in all likelihood actual corruption (e.g. exempting firms that "donate" to the Trump family one way or another).

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

NEW: NOAA scientists are cleaning office bathrooms and reconsidering critical experiments after the Commerce Department failed to renew contracts for hazardous waste disposal, janitorial services, IT and building maintenance. By @lisalsong.bsky.social
