Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections." What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many—15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” "Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.

DHS says it's temporarily suspending TSA PreCheck and Global Entry due to the partial government shutdown. The rare move will result in longer lines, likely frustrating many travelers.

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

In 1926, she co-founded the National Council of American Indians to unite tribes to lobby for voting rights, healthcare & the preservation of Native culture. A pioneering writer and musician, Zitkala-Ša also co-composed the first Native American opera, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢 (1913). (2/2)

Zitkala-Ša, a Yankton Dakota, was one of the most influential #NativeAmerican activists of the 20th century. Her advocacy was instrumental in the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, granting citizenship to all Indigenous people born in the US. She was born #OTD in 1876. (1/2)

Considering the U.S. Navy’s two hospital ships USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) and USNS Comfort (T-AH-20) are in maintenance, it’s not even clear one could be sent right now… or that one was ever realistically going to be dispatched in the first place.

BREAKING:The Secret Service has shot and killed a man trying to enter a secured perimeter around Mar-a-lago If he had broke into the US Capitol building and then attempted to climb through a shattered window beside a barricaded door into the SECURED House Speaker's Lobby, MAGA would call him a HERO

Just a New York Times reporter asking Jeffrey Epstein in September 2016: "If you knew Trump was going to win, how would you position your portfolio?"👀

Lmmfao FloriDUH doing FloriDUH shxt... I mean, this state doesn't have the florida man for no reason. What an utter embarrassment that FL idolized a racist, sexist, fake christian piece of shxt. Keeping the role of FloriDUH. #FloriDUH #Kirk #USA #scum #losers

I think it's time we stop letting the white leftists use us. If they pick Talarico, after using Crockett, every Black voter should vote in the fall on every seat, but the Senate seat. Let the white boy lose. I'm sick of this shit. They wanna let it burn. Well? Let it burn.

the two main drivers of American history are racism and pedophilia in that order

Farmer, 86, Rejects $15 Million Offer to Sell His Land to Data Center Developers: ‘Not Interested in Destroying My Farms’ Pennsylvania farmer Mervin Raudabaugh sold development rights to a land trust for $1.9 million instead.

Of course, the irony of Trump’s post about us needing to send a “hospital boat” to Greenland was that it only emphasized the point that we, in fact, do not have any hospital ships in service right now that are available, while Greenlanders have free universal health care.

NEW: The Victims Who Fought Back An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison? By @pamelacolloff.bsky.social

She’s not just showing up; she’s burning the house down. "I think you're all pedophiles."

Howard Lutnick needs to go to prison for what he did to American tax payers and consumers with his tariff Ponzi scheme to enrich himself and his sons at Cantor Fitzgerald. The moral bankruptcy of the grifters in this admin is on a scale that most of us could not ever conceive.

Good morning! Progress doesn’t happen by accident; it happens because people decide to show up and push for it. Grateful for everyone doing the work to keep us moving forward.

🥶 Happy Sunday 🥶 🦊 Meet and Greet🦊 Well I mistakenly posted the wrong graphic yesterday I posted today’s Sooooo Today I am posting yesterday’s history post If you can’t follow that, have some more coffee 😆🤣 Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday 🧐 We will be okay Love Foxy

Arrest him and lock him up already! And release ALL the files. UNREDACTED.

You would think this would break some sort of law; that is if they cared about laws, which they’ve proven not to.

Trump bullies Netflix to axe Susan Rice from its board, fueling headaches in Warner Bros. chase, as Oval Office vendettas grip free enterprise in iron-clad silence. #AbuseOfPower

No the GOP Supreme Court is NOT going to save us. But the tariff ruling is a very real set back for Trump and he gets it. At the end of the day we still need to save ourselves but here is why Trump is freaking out about the decision: medium.com/@dean.obeida...

Great to see so many people say if Netflix fires Susan Rice to make Trump happy, they will cancel their Netflix account. I pledge to do the same. That is our power!!

Tennessee Republicans have introduced a bill in the state house which would classify abortion as murder, and carry the death penalty. Conservatives need to kill to assert dominance. They MUST kill. They are compelled to kill. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government? He should be held accountable.

Trump raises global tariffs to 15 per cent in wake of Supreme Court loss ft.trib.al/kwHUPFt

Rob Wittman and Republicans only care about lining their own pockets. Meanwhile, Virginians are struggling to make ends meet.

🚨 Republicans are trying to NATIONALIZE voter suppression. Their new bills would require passports/birth certificates to register - documents MILLIONS of Americans don't have. This isn't about security - it's about silencing voters. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/PwsccS9n

They're not sending masked agents into the streets. They're passing laws designed to intimidate. Instead of focusing on real issues, they’re using the power of the state to silence voters and protect their own power. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/kpDhy7X1

The SAVE Act hits Native voters hard. Many tribal members rely on tribal IDs or lack easy access to passports and birth certificates. The assault on Native voices is real. #HandsOffHerVote

Elections are decided by just a few hundred votes. But the GOP’s SAVE Act 2.0 would block over 21 MILLION American citizens from voting. They aren't securing our elections—they're silencing dissent to hold onto power. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/JkNTNjIO

Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to pacify critics of the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files by sending Congress a letter Saturday with a list of 130 names—which for some reason, included dead celebrities. trib.al/l5Zt52b

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump isn't hiding his corruption anymore—he's broadcasting it. In this episode I explain how Donald Trump has fundamentally changed the rules of American politics by intentionally "saying the quiet part out loud." www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIMq...

Trump’s cuts to your health care are funding ICE’s terror.

Pro-ICE sheriffs in competitive counties all over, including Maryland, New York, Montana, and Wisconsin, are up for reelection in 2026. These races will test voters’ appetite for complying with Trump’s deportation agenda.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks.

I believe in giving credit where it’s due. Hang the entire Gorsuch concurrence in the Louvre. Master class in telling your colleagues they’ve lost their fucking minds.

If this is true- I imagine Putin has tapes of Trump and that’s why he was white as shit (even with his off tan orange face paint) the last time they met! He thinks he is the big boy- but I bet Putin has the goods on him!
