House Republicans aren’t keen on Trump $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of $$ for convicted crooks Rep Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): “We’re gonna kill it” Rep David Schweikert (R-AZ): “I have big concerns about it” Rep Don Bacon (R-NE): How did President negotiate with himself?

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

The Crew have an opportunity to do the best thing ever.

Someone described the DOJ settlement as reparations for the January 6-ers and I can't stop thinking about that framing

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

There’s no way Trump could have won his frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in court. There’s no way the J6 criminals and conspirators could have won any lawsuits in court. But they didn’t have to, because Trump installed his criminal defense lawyer to steal our money for them.

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar is live-streaming tours inside government ministries to expose the legacy of Viktor Orbán. The broadcasts reveal lavish state halls and reignite public fury over massive renovation costs at the expense of the hungarians who are poor now

big endorsement for AOC last night

Why isn't the fact that four of the last five GOP administrations created successive "largest tax cuts in US history" a bigger part of our political discourse?

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Trump said the quiet part out loud. He doesn’t care that his illegal war with Iran is raising costs for Americans.

This is true of nearly every elected Democrat in nearly every elected office. Very few Democrats anywhere want good things as intensely as the other side wants bad things.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I wrote this in 2016.

This is why we need independent journalism. This happened because Natalie Graham did the work. I’ll still never get over the fact that this was ever a thing. And I still want to fly a thousand drones over Laurelhurst every night for the rest of time.

We don’t talk about the green one enough

Republican held states can gavel into special sessions and obliterate majority Black districts in a matter of hours, but when voters decide to counter GOP gerrymandering, it’s tossed on technicalities. There are two sets of rules in America and I hope that’s clear.

From May 2021:

"He's magic, you know..." 😈

The Stillaguamish Tribe in Washington state has been buying land in its traditional territory and removing levees. The goal is to turn farmland into wetlands with the hopes of restoring Chinook salmon. n.pr/4tciGx0

Bad news: We have to redo the work of the brave Civil Rights pioneers. Good news: We know how to do it. And we outnumber MAGA racist by a LOT.

I’ve seen several “Mamdani won because he has riz not because people really want democratic socialism in the US” takes. To which I need to point out that Katie Wilson won in Seattle with the same policies and exactly zero riz.

A Trump supporter drove around the Twin Cities last summer breaking into the homes of democratic politicians with the goal of executing them. He killed one of them and shot another. Like 20 days ago the president said he was going to end an entire civilization. You want to talk about rhetoric?!

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.

Maybe it's just me but I can't help contrast the amount of attention the incident at the WHCD is getting with the paucity of discourse about Lebanese journalist, Amal Khalil, who was murdered by the IDF this week. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Hunter Biden would like a word.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

This is the kind of thing that blackpilled me on self-driving cars. In theory, a car programmed never to break traffic laws would be great for road safety. But it's clear that people just don't want that! They want robocars to drive as badly as they do!

Jay Bhattacharya falsely accused people of “censoring” him for years — including Stanford Internet Observatory. He has his job because of pretend censorship — he parlayed being a fake victim into a government appointment. Here he is suppressing a paper because he doesn’t like its conclusions.

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

Not every politician can be Mamdani. But every politician can pound the same message: The only true majority in this country is the working class. Our government should work for those who need it, not for those who can afford to live without it. The rich are looting our country and you’re paying.

Exactly one year ago today:

Human beings simply did not evolve to live in an environment where every new piece of information is the stupidest fucking thing you've ever heard in your life

LFG, America. There is a model. Follow it.

Wins at the Estadio Azteca in 2026: Mexico national team - 0 Club América - 0 Cruz Azul - 0 Nashville SC - 1

FC St. Pauli presents the Peace Prize in the US for the first time. The award honors individuals and initiatives that stand for solidarity, participation, and respectful coexistence. The first recipient is Wes Burdine, owner of the Black Hart of Saint Paul in Minnesota. #fcsp

May Orban be the first domino.

We didn't clear house following Reconstruction or following the Civil Rights Movement and we absolutely have to do it next time.

JD Vance come to the UK and tell everyone you love Farage bsky.app/profile/carl...

More money for NASA, less money for dumb wars

Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates

Trump (and Biden before him) have really helped Bibi and Israel drag the world to hell www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

NGL they picked a great time to be as far from Earth as humanly possible

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

EMERGENCY RELEASE from Gen. Eaton.

It is lost in the chaos of everything today but it is bug fuckin nuts that the VP is IN ANOTHER COUNTRY at a rally specifically to ensure a fellow fascist is reelected as Prime Minister. Like I cannot think of another time a VP POLITICALLY CAMPAIGNED FOR A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT in my lifetime

This needs to be the nonstop messaging. The world is at war with the oligarch class. We can’t let them keep stealing from us.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
