Trump & Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill” would be one of the largest wealth transfers from the working class to the wealthy in U.S. history. But how would it affect YOU? We built a calculator. Plug in your info to see what it’d mean for your finances. www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

This @nytimes.com article is explosive. Reuveni's allegations, if true, prove the criminal contempt that Judge Boesberg preliminarily found & that a conservative appellate panel is currently blocking from going forward. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

“FLORIDA is building a detention facility nicknamed ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ on an airfield in the Everglades to help Trump with its immigration crackdown… large tents, etc. will cost around $450 million a year…” Their cruelty is big business. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/u...

We're in uncharted territory with this SCOTUS. They're making decisions--without regard to precedent, without regard to norms, without regard to justice, without regard to the impact on the rule of law in the U.S., without regard to consequences, and very often with a complete lack of transparency.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

There's no need to fear. This 22-year-old former grocery store clerk and gardener is in charge of counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security.

This entire enterprise has been a fiasco of natsec mismanagement. Not only do they have no strategy, they're incoherent. Not only has the attack made the world a more dangerous place but it likely was a failure or near-failure if its objective was to stop or severely set back Iran's nuclear program.

Seems like an important point

At a time when expertise and experience is critical, Donald Trump put a 22-year-old with no relevant experience in charge of counterterrorism and is taking advice from Laura Loomer on our national security team. That’s not leadership. It’s a recipe for disaster.

We're in this mess because Trump couldn't stand that Obama spearheaded the nuclear agreement with Iran in 2015. So he withdrew the US from the accord in 2018, criticizing it as a bad deal and that he'd make a much better one. Couldn't deliver. Failed.

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

All it took was Elon Musk to call for the release of the Epstein files for Trump to attack LA and Iran. If Musk keeps it up, Ottawa should evacuate.

As the world reacted to news of U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, international officials largely responded with alarm and calls for restraint.

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone. My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

So Trump intentionally didn’t tell top congressional Democrats, especially those on Intel, before the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. But he made sure to let congressional Republicans know beforehand.
