Pete Hegseth is the Eric that Trump always wanted.

SCOTUS is the new DOGE. Musk and his thugs decimated the federal government and the Supreme thugs now decimating the Constitution and funneling all power up to them and Trump. Forget Congress. Forget rules, acts and laws. This was the plan all along. It's called Project 2025.

I hope Gov. Gavin Newsom wins his $787 million lawsuit against bullshit mountain Fox News, and turns their headquarters into a massive library full of banned books. Run by drag queens.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

Wow

I love this for him.

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

The Supreme Court approved this today.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

The Trump administration said on Monday that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century. https://trib.al/VQXR96o

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com: In 2018, President Trump tore up the Iran nuclear agreement “and replaced it with … nothing,” writes Antony J. Blinken. “Mr. Trump, in essence, is now trying to put out a fire on which he poured gasoline.”

Emil Bove III, a senior Justice Department official and Trump judicial nominee, told subordinates he was willing to ignore court orders in order to fulfill the president's aggressive deportation campaign, according to a whistle-blower complaint.

NEW: Emil Bove, a senior DOJ official and 3rd Circuit nominee, suggested the Justice Department should ignore federal court orders to execute Trump’s aggressive deportations, according to a whistleblower familiar with the matter. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social‬

Statement from my Congress Rep regarding our 4 different protests in Lehigh Valley, PA yesterday (and why we want to unseat him):

Imagine being a GOP Senator or House Representative, knowing that you had to only gather a few of your co-workers, cross the aisle, and you could literally 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺. But you choose not to. Imagine being that person.

We need a movement. We need a leader. We need a hero to take our Democracy back. We need our own Gloria Steinem. Our own Martin Luther King Jr. Our own Susan B Anthony Where are you? This is your time. We need you. Now.

"...And three times [Trump] asked [an international foreign policy expert] about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them, why can't we use them?" -Joe Scarborough morning program in 2016 He's thinking about it now.

Netanyahu is using him. Putin is using him. The Heritage Foundation is using him. He is the perfect tool for manipulating any world-wide evil result you may wish.

I see the Washington Post is platforming an op-ed by Krisi Noem, because apparently they're still pissed they missed their opportunity to publish Goebbels in the original German.

That's right!

Bove’s confirmation hearing for the 3rd Circuit is on Wednesday. His own former DOJ colleagues say they don’t trust him to be impartial. Watch the video & insist that your senators do too before they vote.

Agreed

We just had a political assassination in the United States last week. We CANNOT let this leave the news cycle and be forgotten.

Science fiction has always given us both hope and dire warnings about what could be.

I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show. It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

This week, the Supreme Court is set to issue opinions in the 10 remaining cases it heard this term, including: ⚖️Birthright Citizenship/Nationwide Injunctions. ⚖️Louisiana Redistricting. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed. Sign-up now for free. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

How many confessions do you need, USA????

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. The Supreme Court will issue orders tomorrow that could affect this number. Stay tuned.

Suitcase nukes from Iran? When and where?

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

Heads up, everyone. This is not a drill-sized movement. B-2s almost never fly in numbers like this, and certainly not with this level of global tanker support, unless something significant is underway. This is a large-scale stealth bomber mission for a long range strike. US heading to war.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Books being released referring to Biden's mental decline are exaggerations meant to distract from Trump's actual decline. I ignore them all. Is Trump in mental decline? He sounds far worse than Biden ever did. | Opinion www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... via @usatoday

As a parent I can confirm this is the best No Kings sign

i've been trying to read more this year, at least a book a month, but i just keep thinking of this clip
