A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina But that claim is false We have receipts

Maine is pulling more than its fair share of the heavy lifting here

Economy is booming like a Trump Casino 👊🇺🇸🔥

1. We contacted the 100 largest American companies and asked a simple question: Do you support the tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2? These are tariffs that have already destroyed trillions of shareholder value NOT ONE COMPANY WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION

This is incredible. The "reciprocal tariffs" were calculated without actually looking at anything to do with tariffs. This is the most amateur-hour crap you can imagine and it's going to straight tank the global economy.

I'm seeing a lot of cynical reactions to this move from Cory Booker. And I get it!! But performative opposition is a necessary part of effective opposition from the minority. Not sufficient, but necessary. And our electeds need to know we notice when they do well and not just when they do poorly.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵

Shutting down a bunch of federal agencies only makes sense if the plan is to retain power indefinitely. I’d like to see reporters ask prominent Republicans if they think Democrats will just rebuild these agencies in four years. I believe some of the answers would be revealing.

Putin just bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure hours after he promised Trump he would halt attacks on their energy grid.

Let's go Liverpool!!#Liverpool#CarabaoCup

Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump advisor, Robert Morris, was just indicted for raping a 12 year old girl.

Breaking: Hayden Haynes, the chief of staff to House Speaker Mike Johnson, was arrested early Wednesday morning — hours after Trump's speech — for drunken driving after his car struck a Capitol vehicle. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The real president always keeps watch over his puppet

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information. The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

They have their sights set on your social security

Meet Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, a teenage DOGE engineer, who has access to sensitive federal data • Runs Tesla.Sexy, a company operating a Russian website • Worked at startup that hired convicted hackers • Someone using his Telegram handle solicited a cyberattack www.wired.com/story/edward...

There's so much chaos that this isn't getting the attention but is one of the most dangerous developments. This is how fascists rewrite history and indoctrinate the youth. With Sweeping Executive Orders, Trump Tests Local Control of Schools www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

Looks like somebody has ADS: Acosta Derangement Syndrome.

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

I think it is absolutely fair and appropriate to identify these lawyers and shun them from decent society.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

So happy it's #Severance day!!

I guess I have to stop drinking Coke zero now. Dammit.

READ THIS. THEN READ IT AGAIN.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO

UnitedHealth CEO was killed 30 days ago on Dec 4. Mangione is on trial for that killing. Since Dec 4, about 5589 Americans have died preventable deaths under America’s exploitative for profit health system. So—when do CEOs who enabled these deaths go on trial? www.qasimrashid.com/p/americas-h...

Its the end of the Eras. To those lucky enough to attend the Eras Tour, we witnessed magic and history! Theres never been anything like this. As an artist, shes inspired all of us to work harder and be better. Thankx Taylor Swift for giving us so much of yourself. 🫶🏾 LONG LIVE ALL THE MAGIC WE MADE

The city that killed Eric Garner for loose cigarettes. The city that killed Kalief Browder on the false accusation of a stolen backpack. The city that shut down libraries because it didn't have the budget. That city is spending easily millions in police time to find the person who killed a CEO. Wild
