The New York Times has found at least two more fake citations in the MAHA report. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

Public libraries enrich lives and make communities stronger. As the Trump administration makes chaotic cuts to public libraries, I will do everything in my power to protect federal programs and resources that so many Rhode Islanders rely on.

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

“The push for proof of citizenship is both self-serving and convenient. It weakens turnout among voters of color, grants Republican candidates opportunity to question election results, and bolsters the immigration agenda that energizes Trump’s base.” www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

GOOD FOR SCOTT PELLEY OF CBS NEWS. “Our sacred rule of law is under attack,” Pelley began his message. “Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses and into our private thoughts.”

Trump says he's pardoning a Virginia sheriff convicted on bribery charges https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-hes-pardoning-virginia-225044686.html

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Phang: These are bright, talented young men and women about to embark on the next stage of their lives. And what they got was a rambling, incoherent, dementia-laden rant. Just pure diarrhea of the mouth from Trump. He has no faculties left that remain uncompromised.

Russia launched a 300 drone terrorist attack on Ukraine overnight, most of them Shaheds. In addition, almost 70 missiles, including ballistics. The Kremlin’s targets were civilians, bomb shelters and civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian defenders fought all night to protect civilians.

Israeli strikes over the past 24 hours killed at least 38 people in Gaza, including a mother and her two children sheltering in a tent, local health officials said Sunday

Trump is playing golf again. Why hasn’t DOGE shut down these expensive, taxpayer funded golf trips?

During Trump's Oval Office meeting with the president of South Africa, Trump showed video he claimed was evidence of mass killings of white South Africans. It was not. The video was taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo and had nothing to do with South Africa. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

They did not like Obama or Biden and wanted to rob them of power and make them unpopular. By contrast, the media likes Trump and wants to help him so this goes unremarked on - much less blown up into a scandal - precisely because it would make him less popular.

Trump left West Point after his speech instead of staying to shake the hand of every graduating cadet, as is longstanding tradition. If Obama or Biden had done that, we would never the hear the end of it. But it's Trump, so reporters don't care.
