Trump is making American workers less safe. Nearly all of the remaining staff at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health were laid off Friday, gutting programs ranging from approvals of new safety equipment to firefighter health.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

I don’t really get vegan preachy; but just a quick thought. I’ve never understood how anyone could own a pet, or a horse and come to understand that every animal has a unique personality that makes them individuals and then disassociate that from what’s on their plate. It’s beyond me.

I still can't believe people are getting snapped up and sent to foreign torture prisons without due process. I still can't believe people are still using the word "deported." I still can't believe elected representatives have gone on record that it's also okay to do this to US citizens. WTAF.

And somehow, there are still vets out here backing this man? It makes zero sense. He dodged the draft, insulted POWs, called fallen soldiers “suckers”—and now this? At what point is enough finally enough?

This is an example of how the media has been complicit in aiding the conservatives in power by reframing their corruption as typical government maneuvering. Bloomberg glosses over a deal involving $2B in Trump crypto that would benefit Trump, a sitting president.

Question, why weren’t the rules in Congress not applied against Republicans that committed sedition in 2016? The rules are there for a reason. Rules must be enforced, if they had been,we wouldn’t be stuck with this P.O.💩 in the WH nor would we have MAGA MORONS in the Senate.

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

The Trump-Musk Budget is out. It tortures to death every program the average American family benefits from while (1) ensuring that no department that helps Elon Musk’s companies is harmed one iota, and (2) dumping endless wads of cash on a missile-defense scheme Trump was already told won’t work.

When someone sent me a screenshot of Trump’s post about cancelling Veterans Day, I assumed it was fake. Turns out that no, he really is capable of showing more contempt for those who served in uniform. Join us, fight back. June 6, meet me at the Washington Monument open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

The president of the United States wants to claim both absolute authority to do anything and absolute abdication of responsibility for anything he does. Neither of these is how the office works—but the whole GOP is acting as though it were. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights: “Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”
