I've been building and installing Corsi-Rosenthal boxes since the southern California wildfires were really bad a few weeks back and they've made a huge difference in my indoor air quality. Really highly recommend, should have done this years ago

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

Kori Schake is one of the best scholars we have on civ-mil. The use of “for any reason” is chilling given the current environment, but there are no requirements for relief for cause provisioned under US Code. This is a potential action Congress could consider legislation for.

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark set the latest precedent for birthright citizenship. The 14th amendment guarantees birthright citizenship and equal protection under the law. Bottom line: Threats to dismantle our constitutional rights are alarming. Knowing your rights is powerful and necessary!

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday banned Elon Musk’s team from regaining access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s most sensitive payment and data systems until the conclusion of a lawsuit that claims the group’s access is unlawful.

Great question. Real talk: everything HAS been done! Seriously. People have been telling stories for a LONG TIME; the basic plots have all been done. The question is what makes your particular take special and different. What's the emotional or experiential take that only you have?

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

Politicizing the U.S. Marshals Service, and making security contingent on staying in the president's good graces, is a threat to our democracy. @crew.bsky.social lays it out here: www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysi...

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

@extremearturo.bsky.social had a piece this morning on the parallels between DOGE austerity and Milei's program, and it's worth flagging: 1 in 8 Argentinians has fallen into poverty under Milei's policies.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this! Even as someone who pays too much attention to the works, my mind has struggled to understand the larger purpose of this wicked work. This helps. Also: Using underaged coders instead of veteran government worker to “clean house,” is a deadly pivot.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.
