Erich Fromm, The Heart of Man (1964)

Gutting the Dept. of Education would be devastating to our nation's students — and our teachers. MAGA Republicans have been waging a war on public school teachers for years. They want public schools to fail so they can pour the money into private, for-profit schools.

A comprehensive story of the two times in the history of the National Archives when a blatantly partisan archivist was appointed. Spoiler: it didn't go well either time.

London doesn’t waste any time 🤣💀

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

If the earth was flat cats would've pushed everything off of it by now. 😼

SHUT THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT DOWN AND EXTERMINATE THE VERMIN!!!!

Americans have no animus toward Canadians; they are not signing on to suffer economically provided they can make Canada suffer more. Trump cannot even sell them on a real vision of what this economic suffering would be for.

Musk is unilaterally wrecking the government from within and lining his own pockets. Get him out, terminate his access to all government systems. If you can't rally the public against a cartoonishly corrupt bond villain who's stealing from them in plain sight then get out of politics

A federal judge blocked the deportation of legal resident Mahmoud Khalil, who was arrested and detained by ICE on Saturday. Amy Greer, an attorney representing the Palestinian student, joins Chris Hayes.

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

This is what it's all about. Republicans are making it easier for their rich friends and donors to cheat on their taxes while the rest of us pay.

Narwhals are difficult to study, partly because they live so far north in the remote Arctic. In today’s episode,  a  mysterious creature with a tooth longer than your body. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/73329284/epi...

"The Hague has said, Putin is a war criminal....And if that's the fact, if we're giving them an advantage, then we do become complicit in their war crimes, and maybe even accessories to, the act." Sobering words from @markhertling.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller:
