Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

“How much injustice will Americans take? Has the arrest of a judge crossed a line you cannot tolerate? How about the taking of three small American children out of the country in the middle of the night without due process? Have we crossed the Rubicon yet?” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Soon please!!!

Me too.

A document authored by an anonymous group of whistleblowers accuses Elon Musk of attempting to spearhead a private hostile takeover of the US Government on behalf of an extremist anti-democracy philosophy known as the ‘Neoreactionary’ movement, by effectively hijacking the Republican Party.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

i support any action that leads to the people in this video being put in front of an international criminal tribunal

This once again confirms the prisoners are in El Salvador prisons at our behest and under our control.

He still doesn't know who started the war. Or pretends not to know

POTUS is telling another world leader he's going to start deporting native-born Americans, and to build more concentration camps for the inflow. This is shocking, even for Trump. I'm sure MAGA will tell us that it was just some jokey chit chat. It's not at all.

New in PN: The devious purpose behind MAGA's incessant lying "If Dems are going to defend the social safety net and even cancer research, we need to get accustomed to saying unequivocally that lies are lies, and comfortable recognizing them as a deliberate effort to confuse and demoralize people."

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele heads to the White House to discuss further cooperation with the U.S., including the continued use of El Salvador's supermax prison for deported migrants.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

According to the U.S. Army, soldiers won't be arresting people suspected of being in the country illegally, and instead will offer "logistical support" to Border Patrol agents.

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Suozzi on DOGE: "They're cutting and doing some things that I think are very irresponsible. And I don't think it's smart for us to further empower that effort ... they're gonna keep on cutting more people. That's what their plan is. And they're gonna end up paying a price for it."

A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that recent Columbia graduate and Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported—even though Khalil has a green card, is a lawful permanent resident, and has not been charged with any crimes.

NEWS: Consumer sentiment PLUNGED 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952. April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession.

1. So I suppose it's time, given recent events, to introduce myself. I teach courses on technology, coercion and democracy at Johns Hopkins. And my work - especially with @abenewman.bsky.social - is becoming depressingly relevant as Trump gears up for economic warfare against the world.

I spoke with Corwin Lester from United Volunteers of Tennessee and we had a great discussion about protesting and building our communities!

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
