‘TRAP’ isn’t unique. Did You Know?… 1 in 3 Hollywood blockbusters has been at least partially financed by the Department of Defense. In fact, each year the Pentagon helps make an average of 7 big-budget movies and 90+ smaller film and TV projects that sensationalize war and policing.

HE'S LITERALLY READING A SALES PITCH

I’ll say this clearly-I hope you’re listening, beloved Democrats: If you help republicans pass this bill, you will regret it. We need to see your strength not compliance. We will not accept anything else. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

H'oh Rainforest, Olympic National Park. In 2023 the U.S. National Park system generated $55.6 billion on a budget of $3.6 billion. Cutting parks staff is not about efficiency or cost savings. Please share. #savetheparks #nationalparks #wildlifephotography #OlympicNatPark #nature #birds #rainforest

Stupid: hurting others while hurting yourself.

Two things struck me in the 20 year change in whether other countries trade more with China or USA: 1. China took over the world market fast; and 2. Trump has to be one of the STUPIDEST people ever to go after 3 of the few remaining countries that trade more with US: Mexico, Canada, & Greenland.

This is unacceptable.

I thought I should let you all know what is going on over at Twitter ASAP Spread the word: Elon Musk is indeed deportation-eligible

I support academics who support academic independence. The Georgetown University Law School Dean should not have to write a letter like this. But now all university senior administrators should follow his lead. #pilotlight🔥

And now an important message from The National Lawyers Guild for all of us:

My fellow Americans, we officially hit a new low today. Thanks to felon Trump’s all out assault on democracy, we are now on a civil rights loss warning list with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan & Serbia. Nonviolent civil resistance is a must! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Per @yarotrof.bsky.social: “The sea shift in the mood in Europe — including the UK — may not be evident to Americans. Here is the cartoon in yesterday’s The Times of London.”

The U.S. is the source of guns allowing the cartels to flourish in Mexico. 200,000 to 500,000 firearms are trafficked from the U.S. into Mexico yearly, with many guns used by criminals to fuel violence and cartels. We are the source of drugs going into Canada! Felon look in the mirror!

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

Just saw Cadbury's advert- a daughter gives her dad with Alzheimer's chocolate for his birthday. Deeply moving. Thinking of Gene Hackman, who recently died alone with advanced Alzheimer' possibly unaware his wife had passed days earlier. Heartbreaking reality of this disease. #AlzheimersAwareness

Tadaa.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

Evil.

Is anyone watching the press conference. Only 43 pounds of fentanyl came from Canada. Canada seizes 10 times more drugs COMING from the US. Ten times. Not to mention the guns. Fentanyl is just an excuse for the tariffs, what he really wants is our minerals. Our country. We'll never be the 51 state

The Social Security Administration rolled out a new policy banning employees from looking at news websites on government devices three hours after this story published www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... @jeffstein.bsky.social @hannahnatanson.bsky.social

Hey, fellow democracy defenders: want to fill in a survey that the heritage foundation did not mean for you to have? Let’s tell them how we feel about cutting our government funding. secured.heritage.org/the-heritage...

He’s threatening the constitutional rights of Americans. He’ll eventually get to the 2nd one…

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

Hell freezing over. WSJ, centrists, progressives, and Democrats all agree Trump and Vance are kowtowing to Putin, a tyrannical thug, and undermining the US.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 “Unconstrained by oversight or limits, the world’s richest man is conducting a coup to hollow out and control the entire governmental apparatus. “ “The end result will be a government whose only remaining functions exist to serve a privileged few: the wealthiest Americans and corporations. “

If Tyler Perry is going to step in and give platform to voices like Joy Reid and Don Lemon, this could be a watershed time in media journalism. Byron Allen and Roland Martin are out there as well, standing on business. JMO

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Yes, raping a 15-year-old *is* bad but, on the other hand, he closes his business on Sundays to prove how much holier he is than you, so it all evens out. #ThePublicSanctimonyOfPrivatelyAwfulPeople

Folks thought they just hated women, immigrants, lbgtq, black folks…

I can’t feel sorry for any MAGA that voted for Trump and they are losing their positions and crying now. They should have read Project 2025 like democrats did. Like Repost

Huh, turns out you can't have private UNIDENTIFIED security assault and kidnap people because you don't like what they say at city hall Weird.

I love her. I'm now a fan. Cojones.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

America is not gonna go down quietly.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
