It has always amazed me that so many men (yes, just men) who are huge assholes advance up the ladder despite the fact that treating your employees with abuse and contempt is a sure way to get mediocre work out of everyone. www.cbsnews.com/news/fema-ac...

By all available indicators, Stephen Miller not only viscerally hates immigrants but also derives pleasure from imposing pain on them and their defenders. Utterly detached from reality.

Donald Trump's most successful business venture isn't his real-estate projects or "The Apprentice." It's crypto, writes Will Gottsegen:

Every aircraft carrier captain is like "Oh sure, we lose three or four fighter jets a month, just whoopsie daisy, right over the side. Maybe we should put up a guardrail or something, I don't know."

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

Will transportation secretary Sean Duffy step up and take responsibility for the department he leads? (No.) @shalisemyoung.bsky.social

👏👏👏 Secretary Noem, your dept is out of control. You’re spending money you don’t have, ignoring immigration law, vanishing dissenters, and acting like elections erase the Constitution. Congress didn’t give you a blank check—or a crown. Thank you Sen. Chris Murphy for calling it out. #BlueSky #MedSky

DOGE was never about "efficiency."

lol. she thinks it's a town lending library?

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Ummmmmm

The most powerful people in the world have never read a history book

Powerful

Trump, who leads a party and a movement built on selfishness and rage at any suggestion that we should care about one another, is now trying to sell them on patience and sacrifice. Not sure that's gonna work. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

CFPB employees can't own stocks in companies that the agency regulates. A DOGE employee was warned by ethics lawyers that he held nearly $700K in stock in such companies. He then carried out mass firings at the agency – including those ethics lawyers. The corruption couldn’t be any more blatant.

AOC doesn’t wait for legacy media to frame her with dignity—she does it herself. From eye-level photos to livestreams on policy in her kitchen, she’s reclaiming the frame and redefining what leadership looks like. @azzacohen.bsky.social explains

(🎁) GIFT LINK to a stunning but also inarguable New York Times piece that says in no uncertain terms that America is no longer a democracy but an autocracy.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has laid off thousands of workers since January. Current and former CDC staff are grappling with uncertainty about both their futures and public health.

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."

He’s like a kid in the 8th grade who didn’t complete his homework assignment offering up lame BS explanations to the teacher. He couldn’t even get the FBI budget done on time and has no timeframe for having it done. These people are grossly incompetent. bsky.app/profile/atru...

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

A 90-second failure of Newark Airport’s air-traffic safety systems, which blacked out communication to planes carrying thousands of passengers, has exposed a new level of crisis in U.S. air travel. Listen to "The Daily."

Musk has established himself as one of the most ruthless and cruel men of all times.

Elon’s OPM Hands Out No Bid Contract to Cloud-Based AI HR Company To Take Over HR Work from Fired Civil Servants talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/elons...

Medicare for All would: - End uninsurance by guaranteeing everyone access to health care - Remove employment, age & marital status as barriers to healthcare - Save money for Americans by eliminating insurance premiums & deductibles The time for health care reform is NOW.

Israel has announced Gaza's survivors will be driven into a concentration camp. They will be left with a choice: leave Gaza, or die. No genocide was so documented or confessed to as it actually happened 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/gaza-will-...

Newark air traffic control lost contact with pilots at least twice before, source says www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Guardian, page one. Major US newspapers: unreported

Trump's budget cuts: -$4.5B from programs for students in high-poverty schools -$49M from the Ed Dept's civil rights office -$26B from state rental assistance -$4B from low-income home energy assistance -$20B+ from the CDC and NIH All to give the rich another tax cut.

The grift is systematic

OF COURSE

Today is yet another day that Pete Hegseth faces absolutely no accountability for recklessly sharing sensitive war plans on multiple group chats with everyone from family members to random journalists.

this is how to do it. contest every race!

A Russian influence operation was going nowhere. Then it hit the big time www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The US Customs and Border Protection agency says it has "disabled" its use of TeleMessage following reports that the app, which has not cleared the US government's risk assessment program, was hacked.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

VICTORY! for democracy & for us @democracydefendersaction.org The election deniers have just conceded that they lost the NC SCOTUS race after 7 months of attempted sabotage We were proud to support this outcome with multiple bipartisan briefs in state & fed court as part of a huge coalition

Ah, yes, the traditional constitutional standard: protests that are deemed reasonable by the president don’t have to worry about federal prosecution.

The Senate confirmed Trump's SSA nominee Frank Bisignano, who was once America's second highest-paid CEO. Do you think a millionaire ex-banker will defend Social Security? Or will he act on behalf of corporate interests that want to see the program gutted? Hello?

Trump’s crypto conflicts are so serious that they implicate the Emoluments Clause—the ONLY conflicts rule in the Constitution I discussed the major ethics issues @cnn.com

the story all but says it but hegseth is very clearly trying to purge the leadership of the military of black people and women
