This is a direct challenge to the most powerful court in America.Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen has introduced six articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts, accusing him of leading a Supreme Court that has crossed from constitutional judgment into political protection.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

This cartoon isn't an exaggeration—not even 1% an exaggeration. Weeks ago it seemed this far-right Supreme Court would still block any map intentionally authored to be racist. We just learned that that's no longer true. We have reentered Jim Crow, and it's a national disgrace.

For years, economists & commentators have tried to explain why consumer confidence in the economy hit record lows. The answer is this: Americans no longer feel that they can achieve a good life. Whatever the economy is doing, it isn’t delivering one. trib.al/UVeUkVP

Video shows Mount Everest littered with abandoned tents and gear from climbers attempting to summit the great peak.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

The court's repudiation of a lower court decision was only the latest case in which it has played a role in changing the congressional maps for Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, and California. n.pr/4ucAn04

I believe one of the experiments escaped and is now in the White House.

There have been plenty of unusual crimes over the years. But few crime stories are as unusual as the Lindow Woman, in which a 1,600-year-old bog body led to the successful conviction of a man for murdering his 20th century wife. www.iflscience.com/lindow-woman...

President Trump signed an executive order that puts some 8,000 high-ranking civil servants into a new category of employees who can be fired for any reason. n.pr/4vpyTQZ

Three important stories this week: The memo laying out the Christian nationalist takeover of the Texas Tech University System. The voters who could make or break Democrats' efforts to win back Congress. And why anyone with a 401(k) or pension should be concerned about Musk's impending SpaceX IPO.

Call your senators and representatives now, and tell them you want them to reject Trump’s entire “settlement” — including both the $1.8 billion slush fund and his IRS immunity. Dial (202) 224-3121. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/congress-must-reject-trumps-irs-audit

No kidding. IMO, the Epstein Ballroom won't ever be built.

Solidarity with our nearly 1,000 @uaw.org union siblings at the Three Rivers American Axle plant as they go on STRIKE for a fair contract with the wages, affordable health care and the dignity and respect they deserve ✊

Scott Pelley gave an impassioned speech a year ago that’s worth watching today. Kudos to him and other 60 Minutes correspondents and staff for defending the media and our democracy.

The vote marked a rare bipartisan rebuke of the war, but is mostly symbolic. Democrats have been unable to pass a war powers resolution in the Senate, and even if they could it would likely be vetoed. n.pr/4vwsLqo

🚨HOLY SHIT: Sen. Booker suggests Trump is setting the stage for ANOTHER pandemic after gutting Ebola prevention programs while spending $50 BILLION on the war Americans never wanted. This is dangerous, reckless, and puts the entire world at risk. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Between about 29,000 and 25,000 years ago, western and central Europe were virtually devoid of human life as the region fell into icy grip of the Last Glacial Maximum. So who killed this beast? www.iflscience.com/a-cold-case-...

Gavin Newsom for president!

It has generally been considered a harmful response to the stresses of captivity for our feathered friends, but a new paper finds it's actually the norm. www.iflscience.com/masturbation...

it's a damned cover-up! once again, Donny's in hiding and we can't get a straight answer why. all we get is some bullshit story from Dr. Oz about how much Dear Leader loves to point at that drawing of a camel. thank you for your attention to today's very angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4ugN4XQ

One day we will look back on the murder of “60 Minutes” as one of the travesties of Trump’s reign. In the meantime, thank you Scott Pelley for telling the truth. Thank you, former “60 Minutes” producers, correspondents, and staff, for telling the truth. And now, we should boycott CBS.

The Allen Institute in Seattle says scientists have now learned enough about how the brain works to start fixing it when it breaks. n.pr/3RL2bv1

This man perished over 5,300 years ago, but his microbiome may still be tingling with life. Scientists have managed to recover bacteria, fungi, and other microbes from the frozen body of Ötzi the Iceman. www.iflscience.com/5300-year-ol...

This extinct behemoth was first described as a giant crustacean similar to a woodlouse back in 1871. What evidence of their existence remained was fragmentary, making it harder to build a complete picture of what it looked like and how it lived. Now we know more. www.iflscience.com/415-million-...

Welp there’s no unseeing this

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

📌Man stops at a news stand every day to buy a paper. He looks at the front page & throws it away. This goes on for weeks. Finally, the vendor asks: “You buy a paper each day & throw it away. Why?" Man says: “Obits.” Vendor says: “Obituaries aren’t on the front page.” Man says: “This one will be." 🤞🏼

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

The Tom Morello/Bruce Springsteen/Foo Fighters “Power to the People Festival” sold out in about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, Trump’s “Freedom 250 Grift” fell apart after most of the musical acts backed out once they realized they had been pulled into a Trump-linked political circus.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

The US is now spending more on construction for data centers than public transportation infrastructure. Data centers contribute to higher electricity costs and air pollution —all while enriching a handful of Big Tech CEOs. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop them?

Wow. CNN reported that Trump’s net approval among men under 30 has collapsed by 56 points, from +1 during the 2024 election to -55 now.
