The Trump Administration announces that the made-up negotiations with China over tariff policy are going exceedingly well.

By the way, Trump and Elon are firing veterans across government while the Secretary of Defense spends your money on a makeup studio.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Our democracy is dying one stifled voice at a time.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

The Milwaukee Bar Association's poll shows that Judge Crawford exceeds expectations on judicial temperament, impartiality, and integrity. In the poll, Judge Crawford handily leads Schimel in every category, while attorneys raise serious flags about Brad Schimel’s judgment.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

“Tesla earned $2.3bn [£1.9bn] in the United States in 2024. You’d think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.” www.independent.co.uk/voices/tesla...

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

No Kings Protest organized by Indivisible of the Desert had a great turn out today in Palm Springs 🇺🇸
