We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

#Tesla owners, read this news article: “The added mileage eventually caused the owner's basic warranty to expire before it otherwise would have, the lawsuit alleges.” www.chron.com/culture/arti...

This is to the shame of our country

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

If you need a bike and want to buy American, check out guardianbikes.com. We started on the path of bringing mfg from China to the USA in 2020. Indiana. And they are now there. From Shark Tank to possibly the leading bike company in the USA

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Brian Schatz is BLOCKING over 300 Trump admin nominations by refusing to let them pass with unanimous consent. "I don't think we should make anything easy going forward,” he said. BLOCK THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! MORE OF THIS!

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country. Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings. Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

When we worry about the declining rates of literacy and a lack of reading skills, it's often about children. But how often are adults reading these days? And what are we reading? A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds out.

"falling out of bed" "Weinberg, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics, sees the economy falling out of bed in the second quarter, which has just started, and now predicts the economy will contract at a negative 4.5% rate in the second quarter." www.marketwatch.com/story/econom...

These are nervous times for Tesla bulls on Wall Street. They now believe the future ain't what it used to be, to paraphrase noted market analyst Yogi Berra.

“For thousands of years, humans have selectively bred dogs to be loyal to us and need our care,” Marc Bekoff and Jane Goodall write. “To use them in deadly and painful experiments is a profound betrayal of trust.” wapo.st/4iJpm1o

My friend and fellow former Labor Secretary Julie Su has a must-read report on how DOGE's cuts hurt workers. Over 40 DOL offices that inspect workplace safety have been closed — and staff investigating child labor and wage theft are on the chopping block.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Hard not to be a "PANICAN" when led by someone suffering from severe mental illness

It's only been a few days since President Trump's 25% tariffs on foreign cars took effect. But the import surcharge has led to some immediate changes, including layoffs and pauses in car shipments.

True ✅

He sure did!

A second school-aged child in West Texas has died from a measles-related illness, a hospital spokesman confirmed Sunday, as the outbreak continues to swell.

#HandsOffProtests

Adjectives I like…

This man is a mendacious clown. Let’s be clear he has always been one.

Millions of people took to the streets yesterday to send a message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Even during these dark days, remember that you are not alone. Solidarity.

Hi. Books are incredibly important. Please let them be.

He did it because those tux-wearing bastards never once said "thank you."

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

THIS IS INSANE.

Dark Pence is back.

The moral ecosystem of law firms is dividing along a corporate/litigation axis, which falls largely along a geographical fault line of NY/DC.

National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and other senior officials used their personal Gmail account for government business, The Washington Post reports.

"The best way to get beyond the present-day autocratic leaning of our government rests in our ability to follow the well-worn path of our ancestors," @cleaver.house.gov writes. wapo.st/4iOQZWC

This latest case, in which lawyers argue their client had no proven links to MS-13, adds to the growing judicial and public scrutiny about the deportations to El Salvador's notorious mega-prison.

Some 2,000 scientists, including dozens of Nobel Prize winners, have signed an open letter warning that the U.S. lead in science is being "decimated" by the Trump administration's cuts to research.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Who decides if you violated the law or not if everyone is not entitled to due process to make that determination?
