This should never be a headline.

We need to follow the example of the French and eat the rich. 🇫🇷🇺🇸

We’ve stopped bills like this before — by turning public pressure into political power. We can do it again.

I should probably stop banging on about how silly crypto is when shit like this happens in the world’s biggest and most sophisticated stock market. on.ft.com/3ZPr6P3

This hideous bill Republicans are trying to push through isn’t just about healthcare and food access. It has tons of hidden life altering changes for all of us…

It isn't too late to make sure there's not another President Trump later on. We can still roll back presidential overreach:

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

Under our Constitution we have no kings, no queens, no emperors, no lords, no serfs, no slaves—just We the People. And those who aspire and attain to public office are nothing but the servants of the people.

Condoleezza Rice was on Fox & Friends this morning making the case against Trump's attacks on universities and scientific research

Maybe Trump should deport the Afrikaner refugees and re-fund USAID to troll Elon? That would be cool.

Are men maybe too emotional for positions of leadership?

IMPORTANT: Please remember to loudly bully and ridicule your local Dem politicians if they decide that El*n might be a good “ally” for the party

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

Good to know.

You can't just pick and choose when the Constitution applies. Congress makes law. Courts uphold it. Stay in your lane, Mr. Vought.

I thought I might die from a miscarriage in a Texas ER. The doctors wouldn’t do a D&C — not because I didn’t need it, but because they were afraid of the law after Dobbs. I wrote about that experience last year. Now Trump has gutted EMTALA. More women will face this. That should terrify us all.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

I've been so excited to hold this in my hands... and it's finally here! "Lessons From Cats For Surviving Fascism" Thank you to the amazing team at Grand Central Publishing/Hachette and to Pablo Amargo for the stunning illustrations. Canada, UK, USA - June 24th Pre-Order Now! MagnaCata.com

CSPAN could go public and become the media play of the century if it started covering Congress like this. ht: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social

For decades they’ve sold their immigrant brethren down the river because they were treated special. Now they aren’t special, despite having a Cuban Sec of State. Hard to feel bad. Reminder again that there’s no such thing as a good immigrant to white supremacists. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/t...

Morning ☕️👋💖 This dog 😂💖

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

⚡️Trump official who shut down counter-disinformation agency has Kremlin ties, Telegraph reports. A Trump State Department official who shut down a U.S. government office tasked with countering Russian disinformation has ties to the Kremlin, the Telegraph reported on June 3.

Last night, Hillsborough County Public Schools held its first school board meeting since letters from state officials ordered books off shelves. Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard. You can watch the whole meeting here: www.hillsboroughschools.org/Page/6365

The USA has had a few cycles in which the rich acted like oligarchs & got out of hand. The slavocrats. The robber barons. Reasonable people, who just want to make an honest living, have to roll up our magazines & rap them across their snouts to behave.

Phang: It says, “Both major candidates have vowed to pursue a constitutional amendment to curtail the power of the president. The most decisive factor influencing voter sentiment appears to be the issues of martial law and impeachment.” So why the hell are we not doing the same damn thing here?

A bipartisan group of legal heavyweights, including many prominent conservative and libertarian lawyers, filed a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that President Trump’s tariffs exceeded constitutional limits on executive power.

Man, I warned people about this guy YEARS ago and everybody was like, whatever Spiers, you’re terminally online, internet brain poisoned, this cannot possibly be important

It feels like we must be living in the stupidest period in history if a guy like Curtis Yarvin is considered “an intellectual”

This is harrowing. Thank goodness for these observant bystanders! Do you know the universal sign for help? I didn’t. As more young men fall victim to the Tates & misogynists of the world, we all need to be more aware! See below for the signal. ⬇️ 🧵 (posted on IG by @juliettelewis.bsky.social)

Imagine what this woman and her family went through. All for what?

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people. They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.

Flood the line.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

“Peter Thiel’s protégés: a common thread runs through Trump’s tech team *** Thiel isn’t a visible part of Trump 2.0—but his fingerprints are everywhere.” 5/21/25 1/ fortune.com/2025/05/21/p...

I am just revisiting Palantir's Q1 2022 earnings call. A lot of misleading and somewhat bizarre characterisations of politics and political institutions, but what struck me is this: Palantir needs crisis to thrive, what if that plays a role in where we are today? www.ft.com/content/e28a...

Free to read "Trump signed an executive order calling for the federal government to share data across agencies" "a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power." "They have turned to one company: Palantir" @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is right.

With Palantir finally receiving the attention it deserves, we wrote an article documenting Thiel’s history with Zuckerberg, his influence over JD Vance, and the connection between his neoreactionary ideology and Russell Vought’s Project 2025. It has always been Thiel’s plan to destroy democracy.

It is our duty to fight for our freedom! It is our duty to win! We must love each other and support each other! We have nothing to lose but our chains! #assatashakur #ice #tallahassee #florida #fsu #famu #nazis #fascists #protest #floridacapitol

Civil Rights groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center are going to be helpful allies in the many court cases to come. Consider donating: www.splcenter.org

I'm frustrated with the Democratic Party, but I also recognize that the opposition to TACO is going to need a big war chest to fight the good fight. 🤷‍♀️

Breaking News: Loretta Swit, who played Maj. Margaret Houlihan on the hit TV series “M*A*S*H,” has died at 87.

“According to the Partnership for Public Service, which studies the federal work force, DOGE’s attacks on government personnel — its firings, rehirings, use of paid administrative leave and all the associated lack of productivity — could cost the government upwards of $135 billion this fiscal year”
