More than 70 people across seven states have been sickened due to a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs recalled by a California-based egg distributor, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. cnn.it/4jFTtXe

Fascism on parade.

We are more than halfway to becoming a fascist dictatorship. GOP representatives and our propagandist MSM will sane-wash this. Believe your own eyes, people!

The Trump administration’s spending cuts and restrictions on foreign students are triggering a brain drain — and American scientists are panicking. www.axios.com/2025/06/07/u...

Here’s a reminder that Ukraine isn’t just fighting for itself: they’re on the front lines protecting all of us. From risking their lives in Chernobyl to holding back Putin’s worst, Ukraine is the real shield for Europe and the world. Listen: https://loom.ly/AuHCzzw #oligarchy #dictatorship

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

It’s tragic that working Americans are held hostage to this madness. The small silver lining is the hope that Musk can make Trump’s life as miserable as Trump can make his. https://trib.al/6IimjQo

When citizens of a state are required to pay federal taxes, and the government, in turn, punitively withholds federal funding, then taxation has, in fact, become theft. It's economic warfare.

This is really a battle over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people, largely to the benefit of the wealthy. https://trib.al/9MxVlBg

This bodes ill for the rule of law www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

“A draft dodger is holding a military parade on June 14. That is so offensive to people like me that I have no words that are not profane to say what I feel.” While Trump wastes millions on his birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

"Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems." Pure vandalism. This could never happen in a country with functioning checks and balances.

Correct. If this moves forward, it's a major further escalation of the fascist coup.

What would Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill mean for Americans? 50,000 more deaths each year because of huge health care cuts and higher drug prices. All to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations. We’re fighting back to stop it.

You know the air marshals that fly under cover on planes to keep us safe? Trump just killed that program.

I went to the Senate Floor to bring up my resolution urging the Pentagon not to rename ships in the John Lewis class, named after American civil rights legends like the USNS Harvey Milk. Republicans blocked it. On the first week of Pride Month no less.

Trump is exploiting rising antisemitism to advance an unconstitutional political agenda predicated on discrimination, retribution, & fear. His response to the Boulder attack demonstrated a callous diversion from the real issue. Read @haliesoifer.bsky.social’s latest op-ed on substack & subscribe:

Trump Administration gives critical national security role to 22-year old with no experience, but he knows about gardening and grocery stores. Trump rewarding MAGA loyalists with jobs that impact YOUR safety: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozje...

The unemployment rate for recent college graduates has increased dramatically, as companies are replacing entry-level workers with artificial intelligence, per NYT.

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, changing the course of history. Their courage serves as a reminder of the price of freedom. Let us never forget their heroism and sacrifice. defense.gov/Multimedia/Exp…

Here’s the cold hard truth of what Trump is doing on immigration: They are rounding up only the people who have taken steps to become legal OR workers from work sites. People who work, NOT criminals. Is that what you voted for??

And it's @drewmagary.bsky.social from the top rope: www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

"More than a quarter of Medicaid enrollees in the country are Republican, including 1 in 5 who identify with President Donald Trump's far-right MAGA movement."

The way to message through all of this is "We can have a better world where we're not all affected by rich, pissy men who can't handle their shit." That's all. Leave the memes behind, the lame attempts at going viral, and just say, we can have all of these things and be free of this bullshit.

Obama is a moderate normal Democrat. I have to push back at the notion that moderates are actually Republicans. The GOP is overtly radical and has been for decades. West Wing Republicans don’t actually exist

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

“American leadership isn’t inevitable,” Jeff Flake writes. “It’s a choice—one we must make again and again, not just for the sake of our standing in the world, but for the practical, everyday interests of American citizens.”

Trump and Elon will patch things up. Because we are governed by emotional children. Just absolutely babies We deserve way way better.

I think the Trump/Musk feud is real.... ....but Trump and Musk are transactional narcissists who may pragmatically "make up" to transact......or to prevent the implosion of their mutually needed transaction.

It’s these two Democrats.

Dear Elon Musk: Now why don't you share what you REALLY did to help Trump win the election? America deserves to know. xoxo We the People
