BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

We stand by our reporting. So read it here:

I think this is one my most important columns from last year, on why any unchecked right-wing regime will seek to eviscerate the practice of science. prospect.org/politics/202...

NEWS: Consumer sentiment PLUNGED 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952. April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession.

Are you kidding me?! Think twice before you take that cruise. I worked the COVID cruise evacuations—they scarred me for life. And now? They’ve gutted the CDC unit that inspects cruise ships for norovirus, E. coli & other outbreaks. This is how preventable disasters happen. Again.

I received these benefits as a teenager. Survivor benefits. This fucking world, where the powerful celebrate slashing and burning and go on tv without bothering to learn a damn thing.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

#Trump directs #DOJ to go after #Krebs, the guy who told the world in 2020 that the election was not stolen. Corruption at the highest level and in plain sight. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

UNTOLD HORROR?

To Be Clear

Migrant detainees should be in a maximum-security El Salvador prison "for the rest of their lives," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says — despite a recent CBS News investigation that found more than 75% of those sent to the prison had NO criminal records.
