"There have been more than 30 incidents of police violence against journalists as of Tuesday, including 20 injuries, at least five of which required emergency room or urgent care visits..."

If the law passes, new paperwork requirements and other logistical hurdles could lead to millions of people on ACA plans becoming uninsured, according to Congressional Budget Office.

So let me get this straight. White people who wave around the Confederate flag claiming “it’s my heritage” are just fine … But Brown people waving the Mexican flag in a state that used to be part of Mexico because it’s their heritage is a crime … Got it.

The legal rationale given by Trump for seizing CA's National Guard was 10 U.S. Code § 12406. This statute allows the President to deploy National Guard units under very limited circumstances, NONE OF WHICH APPLY HERE. This is unprecedented and completely lawless! 1/ www.latimes.com/california/s...

I feel like it should be a bigger deal that ICE arrested the leader of the largest union in California.

Just to be clear, Governor Newsom hasn't broken any laws. If this line is crossed, and the President has a sitting governor arrested, then the choice for Democratic leaders, senior military officers and federal employees becomes one of accepting dictatorship or taking drastic action.

Similarly, people with Fuck Joe Biden bumper stickers were obviously calling for people to have sex with the president.

Mind boggling corruption.

Attorney General Pam Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of shares of Trump Media the same day that Trump unveiled bruising new tariffs that caused the stock market to plummet, according to records obtained by ProPublica. www.propublica.org/article/pam-...

When they accidentally tell the truth... 💯

@willsommer.bsky.social: "The Trump Administration is sending aggressive signals about launching a potential federal investigation into the company that owns Politico and Business Insider as retaliation for an article scrutinizing Donald Trump Jr." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-whit...

I'm sure Pam Bondi will be cleared of any wrongdoing by Pam Bondi

•••••UPDATE••••• ICE collaborator identified. Officer Patrick Hanlon facilitated ICE agents as they abducted a mother, her teenage daughter, and her infant granddaughter from their neighborhood in Worcester, Massachusetts.

I still think it’s backwards that mass shooters owning assault weapons is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

The voting section of the U.S. Department of Justice has only three attorneys left on staff, according to an estimate provided by a group working to support the department’s remaining staff.👀 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Several Columbia Univ student journalists are suspended after covering protests (while wearing press ID) in the main library. Their access to campus is blocked, and they can't take final exams. Also: Columbia's acting president is a former ABC journalist www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/05...

What an a$$

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard, now the US director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts including a personal Gmail account and Dropbox over a period of years, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal.

I really don't care that Melania has spent only 14 days in the White House since Trump's inauguration 108 days ago. But Republicans would have had a fit if Michelle Obama or Jill Biden ditched the White House and spent their time grifting with a new meme coin and a $40 million deal with Amazon.

Sunday night’s town hall in Somers, New York was yet another horrifying example of the brutal suppression of free speech in America under Trump. Constituent Emily Feiner courageously stood up and quite courteously asked Republican Rep. Mike Lawler a simple question about upholding the…

oh yes the same people who acted like they were being murdered when they had to put a piece of cloth over their faces definitely understand the concept of shared sacrifice

1. Trump says imposing tariffs on nearly every nation on earth is essential to force companies to make investments in the US instead of abroad But since taking office, the Trump Organization has announced new multi-billion $ development deals in the UAE, Qatar, India and Vietnam And NONE in the US

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Scott Pelly of 60 Minutes says Paramount is interfering with their reporting on the Trump administration because they want Trump to approve a merger and that prompted the resignation of executive producer Bill Owen’s.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.
