So, the same people who objected to isolation and masks during the very contagious Covid PANDEMIC are now issuing draconian quarantines for the tougher to contract hantavirus? HEAD. SPINNING. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The Obamas delivered the 250th anniversary speech we needed to hear yesterday. Which helped @karoli.bsky.social and me get through the outrage we’re feeling over the regime’s waste of lives, money, and power in Iran. open.substack.com/pub/momocrat...

I spent my morning watching the celebration of the new Obama Center opening and it was an antidote to all the terribleness of the last 18 months. @karoli.bsky.social and I will talk about both live at 7 PM ET. open.substack.com/live-stream/...

THIS essay. Lately, I've been forcing myself to take the time to read some of the human interest pieces that were a regular part of my news diet before 2017. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social reminds me I'm not alone. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/in-the-dark-...

Oh, it absolutely will. It will be uglier than we can imagine. But it will come out. @karoli.bsky.social, @socalmom.bsky.social , AND i are sure of it. #trump #epstein

I think @karoli.bsky.social and @alizawrites.bsky.social agree with me: the truth will come out. open.substack.com/pub/momocrat...

Looking forward to talking about the latest Trump-Epstein revelations with @karoli.bsky.social and @alizawrites.bsky.social - 7PM ET open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Hell yeah. open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

I just wanna say that not a single Dem voted in favor of the reconciliation package to fund ICE that just passed the House. So even though this was not the outcome we wanted, our Dems stood strong clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026214

Mass deportation was never about protecting American jobs. It was about giving Trump a scapegoat for his unstable economy. The data backs that up now. Unemployment is worse, not better. cepr.net/publications...

Must watch. Maybe at 7 PM tonight. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

This week, @karoli.bsky.social and @alizawrites.bsky.social caught me up with everything I missed while I was out of the country. It was a lot. open.substack.com/pub/momocrat...

Back from vacation and looking forward to chatting with @karoli.bsky.social & @alizawrites.bsky.social at 7 ET. Like, what did I miss? open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Policy aside Joe Biden gave a good nationally televised 60+minute State of the Union address in February 2024. Four months later he had an awful debate He was President for 4 years and his administration helped us recover from Covid passed bipartisan legislation and it wasn’t chaos Facts matter

Here are the CDC positions they are saying are in the excepted service as policy roles — including "Epidemiologist," "Research Epidemiologist," and "Health Scientist."

Mike Johnson bragged about “notebooks full of ideas” to improve healthcare. Axios revealed what was in them: strip millions of Americans of coverage to fund a war with Iran. Today the House voted on war powers. Now you know exactly what that vote meant. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Trump wants to use millions in national park entry fees to fund his vanity projects — including a $1.6M fireworks show and a $5M White House helipad. This comes after he made huge cuts to the NPS budget. We should be preserving our national treasures for future generations, not neglecting them.

Scott Pelley is a fucking hero.

Catching up after a 2-weeks vacation in the UK and France. This Jon Ossoff speech is utterly fantastic. youtu.be/czbhRAfxhj8?...

@netflix.com should take all these fantastic and fearless journalists and create a news arm. With CNN up next for the integrity dissection, Netflix could create a world class, worldwide news stream with global reach on their global platform. If you agree, share this. If you don't, that's cool too.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Also anyone with any actual experience managing a newsroom knows that if you have real reporters in your bullpen they will confront you with real questions about your intentions. If you can’t handle it, you have no business managing a newsroom.

If I subscribed to Paramount+ I would definitely cancel my sub today.

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

So, Director of National Intelligence is apparently a part-time job with no previous experience required. Got it.

If I see one more press headline saying protestors “clashed” with police at Delaney Hall, when what actually happened was that state police in riot gear shot less lethals at protestors and press singing with their hands up, then kettled and arrested them, I am going to throw my phone out the window.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

You guys got next California! Let’s do this! #VoteCA

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

Incredible reporting by this substack independent reporter. Wow. This needs to be heard by everyone and we need to act now. Listen to the video & send it to your congressional reps today @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @rokhanna.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

At a 15% higher price than last year!

🧵

I'd like to propose that we drain all of Sam Altman's blood and then offer to sell it back to him at cost.

If the White House is safe enough for Trump to host this fucking thing, why does he need a “drone proof” ballroom?

Let me also add two things: 1. Having a UFC fight for the 250th is more offensive to me because it's practically *all* we're getting. We've slashed money from museums to shovel it at Trump's pet projects. 2. I'm a 250th expert, you should invite me to come talk about this.

AI is bad and ruining human knowledge, sorry to those trying to convince us otherwise.

For people who think that AI is inevitable or worry it is, I made starter packs of game devs refusing to use AI, and in less than 24 hours had more than 200 devs ask to be included. Creatives don't want this and won't use it. You just need to support those who won't use it.

What if taxing the rich works?

The Dems should do a Jan 20, 2029 fundraiser to allow thousands of us to tear down & remove all the crap Trump built & installed. Celebrate like we are tearing down the Berlin Wall.

Holy shit this cartoon.

Friendly reminder that the NYT accused Biden of having Parkinsons and put it on A1 but they quote Trump saying he's fine after he boasts about passing a basic cognitive test like 20 times and constantly falls asleep on live TV

Dear press, please stop referring to negotiations between warring parties as a "deal." It's an agreement, and that has nothing to do with Trumpian rhetoric. Gangsters make deals. Business people make contracts, and states conclude agreements or make treaties.

For all the endless hoopla about "Democrats connecting with ordinary people," 99% of which is "Democrats must rigidly adhere to the directives of elite reactionary centrists," Steyer here is talking about an issue in the same way that actual people who vote for Democrats do. Good stuff.
