I hope state governments have a contingency plan for when the federal government delays or corrupts the forthcoming elections.

Trump is threatening to invoke the insurrection act because ICE agents are in danger as evidenced by ... the death of a protester?

"The abduction of Maduro was not about naming his crimes, but about ignoring them. The worst thing Maduro did is what Trump is beginning to do: killing civilians and blaming them for their own deaths. After Minneapolis, Maduro’s lies are being repeated: in American English, by American authorities."

Thug-ocracy. 😡

The States should be planning how they will respond if the federal government moves to steal or disrupt the midterm elections... and then the 2028 presidential election.

A US attack on Greenland would be immoral and unfathomably stupid. It’s shocking there is not unanimous opposition from across the US political spectrum.

The US is sanctioning judges among whose assignments is the legal reckoning with genocide. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Don’t let this go unnoticed just because it’s the holidays!

Trump is closing NASA's largest research library, which contains massive collection of undigitized and irreplaceable materials, planning to throw away what isn't warehoused. The casual and thoughtless damage is stunning. Donald Trump brings nothing but destruction.

The country's auto-lobotomy continues ... www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

Terrible

I'm disgusted that the US administration is taking an actively hostile attitude toward the European allies with whom we have for decades shared values in support of democracy and human dignity. My country has willfully destroyed its moral compass. Hoping we can find our way back to decency soon.

The Trump administration appears to be in the process of betraying Ukraine and our European allies.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections. He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

These men are completely incompetent and have no regard whatsoever for the safety of Americans. We will all pay. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/w...

It's innocent children who will suffer most if Florida continues down their anti-vaccination path. I hope it doesn't take very long for the state to recognize the consequences and reverse course. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/10/30/d...

So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home — nothing.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

WOW: "The Pentagon confirmed on Friday that it accepted an anonymous $130 million donation to help fund military pay." Trump is doing his best to make the US military his own private militia. This is very dangerous. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

This is very good

The desecrator-in-chief.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts. #NoKings

I’m starting to think Trump may ultimately unify the country, as a majority of Americans come to agree it’s time to remove him from power.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives made hyped-up accusations the IRS was being politicized and denounced that.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

AshGC v1.0 is our first neural network charge model. It has been trained to produce charges that are comparable to OpenEye AM1-BCC-ELF10. AshGC 1.0 is identical to the previously released AshGC rc3, except it adds support for single-atom charges. docs.openforcefield.org/projects/nag...

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization. We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Interesting ideas for how blue states can exert power. Article is too long, so you can jump ahead to "Short of actual secession, what could California do?" for the good stuff. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yes that’s exactly what it looks like

U.S. Corporate media ignores that man who waged deadly attack on a Mormon church was a Trump supporter. This fact is important given Trump and Stephen Miller are seeking to blame Democrats for all violence to label Dem party a terrorist group. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/us-corpora...

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

A president threatening to withhold from an American city any federal funding if that city elects someone he doesn’t like. We’ve so normalized his abusing the powers of his office. Any other president before Trump would’ve been impeached for making such a threat.
