Very interesting interview with Greg Pallast. Over half a million ballots were spoiled. Tens of thousands voters, mainly POC, had their voting access challenged by True the Vote. youtu.be/t3PM15wCVn0?...

Regarding violence vs nonviolence, the right to peacefully protest is enshrined in the human rights charter. All protest should be nonviolent for as long as it is permitted to be by the state or oligarchy. That said, respect each others right to peacefully assemble; know when to withdraw or defend.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Fewer book tours, more backbone @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social !

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington state, who blocked Trump's executive order re: transgender health care, says it is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

#ICYMI: ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 Musk-affiliated staffers who are helping the world’s richest man dismantle or downsize federal agencies one by one.

Federal Income Taxes are sufficient to drive Demand for the State Issued Currency but not necessary. But when it comes to Pulling excess Money out of the Economy there is no more efficient way than Taxes. But stop pretending they pay for Gov't Spending, they do not. #MMT youtu.be/tEiNLmg2tYA?...

This is the kind of monstrous, inhuman shit the Nazis did. "Israeli forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly Palestinian man in Gaza and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, an investigation by the Israeli news website HaMakom has revealed."

I’m joined by @politicsgirl.bsky.social on The Weekend Show, tonight at 8/5pm. You won’t want to miss this conversation! @meidastouch.com youtube.com/live/4YggTMn...

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.

Either way, it is a needlessly cruel decision. But part of me wonders if why this program caught their attention were the words “transition services for youth” - making them (or whatever AI program they were using) think “transgenderism!”

"That [Musk] now gets to provide government oversight over the things that he is trying to get permission to do is one of the most significant conflicts of interest I've seen in my career, and it's inexplicable to me."

Trump spent millions in tax payer dollars today for photo ops at the Daytona 500 as storms in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia killed at least 8 people, injured many more, and caused total devastation…Oh yea, Trump wants FEMA abolished. youtu.be/_yqIudpInQM?...

Any short-term savings from the funding freeze, one federal firefighter said, are likely to be eclipsed by the vast resources needed to combat even larger wildfires.

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.
