Three DHS agents manhandled this tiny 75-year-old woman who was peacefully protesting in front of ICE headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The corporate media is refusing to cover the story. Click to watch the video, and please share.

Why don’t journalists fight back against Trump’s insults? Do they stay silent to protect corporate profits? Will they ever reach the point where they tell Trump to f– off? My Stop the Presses newsletter.

"So ask the questions over and over and over. If he says he doesn’t know, ask him why he doesn’t know. When he lies, interrupt him to say he’s lying. And say it that way: “That’s a lie. You’re lying.” Show Trump the respect he deserves. Which is none." This is the way.

Trump‘s ballroom isn’t a matter of national security — it’s a matter of his own personal insecurity.

School districts are rushing to adopt "one chatbot per child" models, but decades of research shows learning is fundamentally social. Here’s why isolating students with AI tutors may undermine the classroom interactions that actually support brain development. buff.ly/gv76wEl

A cast of Trump’s lesser-known political appointees and DOGE operatives cut programs in ways that guaranteed widespread harm and death in some of the world’s most desperate situations. From our friends at @propublica.org:

The speaker of the House is too much of a chickenshit to stand up for basic human decency.

Trump’s post that Rob Reiner had a stabbing death coming to him because he opposed Trump will be forgotten in a day or two. Like everything else. If we were a rational society, these appalling words and actions would be cumulative and we’d get rid of the bastard. Instead everything is a one-off.

We found that 11 of Trump’s DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses. Read our original investigation:

Here's Trump saying Rob Reiner is dead because he made people mad with his "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Absolutely insane. It's a real post by the president of the United States, who has the nuclear codes.

Obviously when this shitshow is over Trump should be tried in a Nuremberg-style court and sentenced to prison, but before he is incarcerated he should be required to work as a supermarket bag boy so he can finally learn how expensive groceries are

A mass shooting at my alma mater Brown University hit hard, proving no community is safe from senseless violence in a land with more guns than people Trump added insult to injury by claiming there is "nothing you can do." We can do a lot about guns My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/brow...

You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

He’s a national embarrassment.

The key question in American politics now is whether public disapproval of Trump will grow fast enough to save our democracy before Trump builds such a crushing dictatorship that public opinion no longer matters.

The fact that Trump’s minders didn’t stop him from announcing his ridiculous, fake “pardon” on Truth Social should worry us all. A person with a loose grasp on reality and a lack of impulse control has the nuclear codes.

Trump has as much power to pardon Tina Peters on state charges as I have the power to award the 2025 World Series trophy to the Chicago White Sox.

“Despite my repeated demands, the tanker refused to deliver its cargo to me,” Hegseth said.

IF I MAY BE SERIOUS: if Trump really wanted to reduce immigration, he’d try reducing wars and climate change—both of which increase migration and refugees. As you were.

Donald Trump is a dinosaur. And his cultists are part of a dying breed. Yes, they are having their moment in power. But the world is changing and their white supremacy vision will not endure.

what distinguishes Trump 2.0 is the breadth/depth of its corruption: graft, abuse of power, subversion of the Constitution and rule-of-law, top-to-bottom dishonesty, acts of violence including murder my @zeteo.com column please read/share/subscribe zeteo.com/p/trump-corr...

“Peace Prize?” Trump roared. “More like piece of shit!”

Your Number For Tonight: 0 That's the total number of Somali immigrants appearing in the Epstein files.

On Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press,” Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas was such a relentless firehose of lies that at times he appeared to be auditioning to replace Karoline Leavitt.

The attack on the Venezuelan boat was legal in the same way that Pete Hegseth is sober

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized, so Amazon closed all their fulfillment centres in the province. 7 centres shut down. Almost 2,000 people out of work. This is a massive violation of labour rights. It’s also an excellent reason to boycott Amazon.

"In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a 'Bermuda style' home in Palm Beach, pledging it would be his principal residence. Just 7 weeks later, he got another mortgage for a 7-bedroom home, attesting that it too would be his principal residence." Via @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump attacks female reporters because he's insecure about his own manhood. It's the man-baby administration. I wrote about this last week.

"First he came for the female reporters, and I said nothing because I wasn't a female reporter." The silence of media bosses is an embarrassing scandal.

Female reporters who are verbally harassed by Trump should file an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against their employers for not protecting them from the president's abuse as they do their jobs. (h/t @airbagmoments.bsky.social)

"'They all were scared, crying... they were pointing with the guns not to move,' he said. He said all four are U.S. citizens..." www.kare11.com/article/news...

The people currently in charge of the dismantling of science and medicine deserve nothing more than scorn and contempt from the entire medical community. They have lashed their legacies to a sinking ship, and will suffer as a result. May no one ever forget what they have done nor forgive them.

It's not "free-market conservatism" when Trump uses government power to sabotage farmers' markets and then spends taxpayer money to bail them out, making them more dependent on the government. It's what dictators want: everyone dependent on their personal whims.

Sadism is the lifeblood of MAGA, and US government agencies are sanctioning this as an operating principle on a daily basis:

David Ellison of Paramount is furious that a) Netflix outbid him for Warner Brothers; and b) He is constantly being mistaken for Eric Trump

Everyone in his corrupt fascist regime is a drug addict. The “war on drugs” is all performative. They couldn’t handle the most basic bodily functions without their precious drugs.

God, even here, in the beating heart of anti-AI fanaticism, AI cat videos going viral. Grim

Dave Brubeck, born on this day in 1920! ⚜️🎷⚜️🎶⚜️💙⚜️ The California cool-jazz titan whose piano genius and odd-time wizardry gave us “Take Five,” “Blue Rondo à la Turk,” and the timeless Time Out (1959), proving swing could groove in 5/4 and 9/8 while selling a million copies and changing jazz forever.

No explaining it!

Ilhan Omar: "When I think about Stephen Miller & his white supremacist rhetoric — it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany—"

DID YOU KNOW? Trump will be the first U.S. president to be buried in Moscow’s Red Square.
