For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

In reality the US has only given $30 billion to Ukraine, the monetary worth of the weapons and nukes Ukraine gave up based on the legal agreement that the US would protect it from aggression is nearly $50 billion. The US failed abide the agreement and owes Ukraine money, not the other way around.

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

DOGE is forcing OSHA to trash standard workplace safety guidelines. Examples: "OSHA Best Practices for Protecting EMS Responders During Treatment and Transport of Victims of Hazardous Substance Releases" because it references "diverse" situations they may encounter. This is insane.

Trump has been firing all of the top military lawyers. It's clear he's preparing to force them to act against the American people and our constitution.

Donald Trump being a Russian plant actually explains a lot. Like it's actually painfuly obvious. If this was the plot of a novel, its readers would be screaming this the whole way through. Websites with these claims are naturally being quietly pulled, but the source is credible. #agentkrasnov

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

There is an urgent need for Representatives and Senators to stop going home during recess and physically confront Musk and DOGE, or barring that, hold the floor like we did for gun rights back when John Lewis still led sit-ins. Anything that displays courage and a sense of urgency. This is not it.
