here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

If todays X outage is truly a cybersecurity issue, then let me draw your attention to Musk hijacking a two billion dollar FAA contract for himself with Starlink equipment that hasn’t been rigorously tested for cybersecurity concerns. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

House Prepares to vote, Johnson blames Dems if proposal fails which is a lie.

The U.S. government can't deport protesters simply because they don't like what they say. But Trump, Johnson, and Rubio are clearly against the First Amendment. This is not about Israel and Palestine; this is about democracy. They are stealing our constitutional rights. We must protect them.

"All Trump had to do was sit back, relax, and take the credit as America’s economic Messiah. Instead, less than two months after his inauguration, Trump has been Reverse Jesus, speaking new economic storms into existence."

"Economists at JPMorgan Chase said Monday that the risk of a recession had edged up to 40% from 30% owing to 'extreme U.S. policies'.” 'This is very much a man-made situation,' said the chief investment officer at Key Private Bank." www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

When we are angry and frustrated, these are the greatest times to provoke strength. We have raw unlimited power from our primal core. something so unsettling within ourselves is motivated to be transmitted into something physical. Channel it, use it with intention of bringing change not destruction.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

"Frank traveled this month to DC to speak with Alaska’s congressional delegation... she said she was well received by Begich. “He assured that he 100% backed us on fighting to not have any cuts to Medicaid,” said Frank. Now, she said she feels betrayed by his vote..." www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

"Laughing in the face of evil can have a powerful effect. And it’s surely much better than supine silence or trying to out-hate the haters."
