Trump's executive order to gut funding for public media (including NPR and PBS) will cut off news sources for millions. That’s exactly what he wants: to exert even more control over the information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

"When [DOJ] lifted a school desegregation order in Louisiana this week, officials called its continued existence a 'historical wrong' and suggested that others dating to the Civil Rights Movement should be reconsidered." They said desegregation was a "historical wrong." www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/u...

Marco Rubio is going after people who are living here legally and peacefully, who are not a danger to America or our foreign policy interests. He has strayed so far from who we are as Americans. He’s an embarrassment to the country.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Vice President Harris: "The checks and balances upon which we have historically relied have begun to buckle." "When the checks and balances ultimately collapse, if Congress fails to do its part, or if the courts fail to do their part … Well, friends, that is called a constitutional crisis."

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement "He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

Trump on his faith advisers: "They work right out of the White House. That's never been done before. No other president allowed that. They say 'separation between church and state.' I said, alright, let's forget about that for one time."

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

Trump on imams: "I said, 'Do you want to die?' They said, 'We don't want to die.' I said, 'What about the 38 virgins?' They said, 'That's nonsense! We don't know anything about it.' And we won the state of Michigan."

Imagine getting an asylum appointment from the U.S. government, showing up for your scheduled appointment, and then getting deported to a foreign prison. That's what happened to Andry Romero. He deserves due process.

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

I’ve seen arguments both for, and against presidential pardons. If I was forced to pick one, however, I’d choose the elimination of presidential pardons, as in no president can pardon anyone…for anything. We have courts. It should all be decided there.
