87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023. Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

A week ago, Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming the files were sitting on her desk. Now, in a fabricated letter to Kash Patel, she insists she never received them. Congrats on shifting the news cycle. Lie better.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The issue—that most lawyers will not mention because they are trained to be deferential to courts—is that this is uncomplicated as a legal matter. Congress authorized the spending. There is nothing to sort out. Roberts is delaying to clean up the politics of his majority making Trump a king.

A human rights crime is unfolding, largely hidden from sight. Venezuelans are being shackled & flown to Guatanamo. Trump said ‘Gitmo’ was for the “worst of the worst”. Well, many have no criminal record at all. One person’s crime was riding a bike on the wrong side of the road. 1/

Call to Action: The Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent federal agency that safeguards federal employees in employment disputes, has paused the terminations of six probationary federal workers across various executive branch agencies and departments for 45 days.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

I’m as merciless as anyone to people who actively put Trump in power, but it does seem very likely that at least a few million of his voters did not consent to this because they were lied to and the press refused to report on the lies

Without grasping comparable global patterns, it’s impossible to appreciate where a specific case fits or what’s coming down the pike. That knowledge has made the difference between saving or sacrificing democracies. Only comparativists, I often recall, knew how to label Tunisia’s 2021 coup type.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

We are just about at the point where a court orders the government do something & the government refuses to do it, which is practically what this amounts to. Either the courts find an effective mechanism to force compliance, or Trump steamrolls right over them.

There’s also evidence that Russia tested and accessed state voting systems, and had capacity to delete or alter voter data as far back as 2016. And we still haven’t seen the un-redacted Mueller Report, and probably never will.

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.
