Bravo @theatlantic.com 👏👏👏 doing your best to not let democracy die in darkness.

F.D.A. Blocked Publication of Research Finding Covid and Shingles Vaccines Were Safe www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u... what is this administration afraid of? Not enough people will die??

We now know the Iran war price tag is more like $50 billion - hundreds of dollars per household - and counting. It's enough to cover all the health insurance premium credits that the Republicans got rid of for this year, and next. It could save rural hospitals, pay teachers, fix roads.

Serious question- are there any Republican appointees and representatives that are representing the American people or have they all devolved into just representing the Pezident and billionaires. Is there even one?

Any candidate worth their salt who's running for the Democratic nomination in 2028 will campaign aggressively on expanding the Supreme Court.

Political corruption is even worse than you think. To build a functioning one-person-one-vote system where oligarchs don’t pull the strings, we need to make anti-corruption the central focus of our politics. @davidsirota.com explains why.

The GOP wants to give ICE more money. Dems want to rein them in and make them accountable for their actions. The choice is clear, America.

Unbelievable. A GOP judge in VA just blocked certification of the congressional map referendum, calling the whole process unconstitutional. Apparently, the voters’ will is optional now. 🙄 Counting on a swift appeal to fix this mess. ⚖️

Trump's pick for Fed chair should be asked about his relationship with anti-democracy billionaire Peter Thiel before we let him anywhere near our Federal Reserve. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW.

‘Easily the Worst President in U.S. History’ www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o.... Gift article- read it and weep for what might have been- Elections matter!! Vote like people’s lives depend on it. Because they do

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202.... Gift article. This article is worth reading and for many of us what we have been thinking and concluding as well about the extremely and obscenely wealthy.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u... Gift article - very much worth reading

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

This isn't being talked about enough: President Trump is hosting a gala at Mar-a-Lago next week for the top 297 holders of his #$TRUMP memecoin. Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

The people of Hungary made world a better place yesterday, and the USE will make it even better come November!

BREAKING: A coalition of 1,000+ stars & film pros just jumped into the fight to support state AG's investigating the Paramount-Warners merger Not a done deal! We @democracydefendersfund.org @filmcoalition.bsky.social @1acommittee.bsky.social & other GREAT partners r proud to help #BlockTheMerger

If you are at Paul Weiss and are wondering if we have forgotten your firm's betrayal of democracy, we haven't. If you are wondering if we are judging you for remaining there, we are. www.wsj.com/business/c-s...

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

We are spending an estimated $1B per day on the war on Iran. Now Trump and Co want an extra $200B from Congress to fund the war. But healthcare? Cut. Food stamps? Cut. Education? Cut. Cancer research? Cut. Environmental protections? Cut. And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut. It's obscene.

Banger protest sign at No Kings in San Diego! 🔥

Will I see you at a #NoKings rally? ☮️ We MUST #resist fascism as he destroys our government.

Follow the money: The Ellison bid for Warner Bros may be backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar & the UAE The European Commission wants answers So does Los Angeles — which is staring down massive layoffs if this goes through This merger has nowhere left to hide I discuss on @contrariannews.org -TN

We are 48 hours away from the biggest protest in American history. There will be more protests on Saturday than any previous day in our country. Please join us to reject the regime’s brutality at home and abroad: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

The No Kings rally is 03/28 and it isn’t something you HAVE to do, it’s something you GET to do. Bring everyone you know. Make them SCARED of our numbers. youtube.com/shorts/vCO7v...

NEW: WOW: In their haste to discredit Jack Smith’s January 6th probe, Trump’s DOJ (maybe) inadvertently gave Congress a memo detailing Trump’s motive for hoarding classified docs - a potential violation of Judge Cannon’s block on material relating to Volume II. 1/ www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. Hawaii under water. Multiple states on fire. TSA going unpaid. No FEMA aid. Farmers going bankrupt. Gas prices above $4. War in the Middle East for billions a day. This is what Fat Satan's "greatness" looks like. #FuckTrump

I despise Hegseth’s statement “We negotiate with bombs” this from the guy that blows his nose on the American flag. Trump and his clown car of incompetent fools

HOWLING

Everything I worried about during Orangina’s first term is really coming to fruition in the turnip’s second term. Anyone know how long dehydrated food lasts?

This is f—king real. What a pathetic scumbag of a president.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

Over five million people protested against the regime in June. More than seven million people took to the streets in October. March 28 will be even bigger, with nearly 3,000 events already on the No Kings Day map. Be part of the largest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Billionaires Are Swaying Elections in All Corners of America www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u.... Gift article- Follow the greedy billionaire $$$ and vote the opposite. Save democracy.

This article will make your blood boil. There are no ethics in the Trump regime. Everyone is grifting off of our tax dollars. Great reporting from ProPublica. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East. She lied. One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on. This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

It’s time to reveal the billionaire donors flooding American elections with potent dark money. I’m introducing the DISCLOSE Act with Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Pappas to make our money-drenched elections more transparent for all citizens.

Listening to Lil’ Marco explaining trump’s Epstein war diversion made me realize that that short fingered vulgarian came up with the perfect moniker for that small obsequious little man.

My waking nightmare is that someone told rump he’s gonna die soon so he’s making sure he’ll have a lot of company for that upcoming one way trip to the afterworld.

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

I just saw a headline that Trump “seeks to overturn Government” - Ours? Hard to be sure- he sure doesn’t seem to like most of us.

I'm 64 and I never thought I would see the day when our Constitutional rights would be called left-wing radicalism, or that SCOTUS & GOP would conspire to bring about the downfall of democracy. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."
