MAHA was just another con. The corruption of the Trump admin is absolutely staggering.

Cubans are starving and have gone weeks without electricity and clean water due to Trump's blockade of any oil reaching the island. Here's why we aren't covering this.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

End Citizens United's Justin Unga: "Corporations and billionaires poured billions into our last presidential election, and this is what they bought for themselves. We have a vot that has been auctioned to the highest bidders, and that means big oil and gas, they get to decide how clean our air is."

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

on my birthday I took to the newsletter to write about the AI commencement address backlash, and how growing anger at AI is now irreversibly tethered to justified rage at the extraction class -- whether AI boosters like it or not

This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution. What is Trump hiding from the American people? Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

getting outside your Bluesky bubble sometimes means standing around like a prop while an authoritarian announces his illegal insurrectionist slush fund, you closed minded virtue signaling bubble dwellers wouldn't understand

Trump uses @mcuban.bsky.social as a prop as he announces and propagandizes to the American public the greatest government corruption scheme in the history of the United States. Mark is now part of history. Congrats! bsky.app/profile/atru...

horrifying anti-muslim violence stoked by the leaders of this country.

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

this might just be the most blatantly corrupt act ever committed by any president in U.S. history

Incredible- Trump's $2 billion taxpayer-subsidized slush fund comes with a legal disclaimer that basically says "we are not responsible for any crimes committed with this money"

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

2. Primary source documents, videos, and all the reciepts:

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

Trump doesn't care about the economic plight of the average American because he's too busy calling his broker His stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months in firms like Palantir, Nvidia and Boeing should be another Watergate. Here's how to make it one My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

it’s honestly so embarrassing that we have to talk about trump’s ballroom in a serious way. someone in his circle didn’t immediately tell him it was the dumbest fucking idea in the whole world and now it’s become our mortifying problem. clown shit.

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)

That first picture is really something.

FT Exclusive: A financial group with ties to Donald Trump's family has set up a special-purpose vehicle that plans to raise $200mn to buy a business in Venezuela. ft.trib.al/TBsOyPA

In addition to fighting back against GOP gerrymandering, here’s another reason why state-level races so important in 2026: if Dems win trifectas in combo of MI, PA, WI, NV & AZ they can put National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over 270 electoral votes & elect next president with popular vote

You know, a President accusing a NYT reporter of committing treason just for asking a question is actually quite a big deal, and this bunch just standing there listening to it and doing nothing is not encouraging the public to think of journalism as a serious business or of words meaning anything.

6.0% PPI y/y is the highest since Dec 2022... time to tote out those 1970s inflation charts!

Man, there are some crazy “labor vs. capital” charts, lately. @ianbremmer.com

this is absolutely BONKERS behavior from the director of the FBI. it's a disgrace to his position and the entire US government.

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

ABC News: Elon Musk’s DOGE “blatantly used” race, gender and other protected characteristics to execute the largest mass termination of federal grants in the history of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal judge ruled on Thursday. abcnews.com/Politics/jud...

The Defense Department IG has rejected a request by @citizensforethics.org to investigate the use of a military helicopter for a fly-by at Kid Rock’s house in March, saying Pete Hegseth doesn’t want to look into it. Which is not how an IG works. www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

Remember: Alito flew a US flag upside down on 1/6 and a Christian nationalist pine tree flag, and Thomas' wife paid for busses to shuttle people to 1/6 riot, but yeah, they aren't political.

This dropped around the same time as this interview - Neil Gorsuch on Megyn Kelly’s show. He was talking about how “young conservatives must have courage to stand by their beliefs.” Sounds apolitical to me!

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

Oh, the people who blow up ships are the bad guys? Huh.

We are not the same…

Q: How will the new SSI rules impact your family? A: I have no clue Q: But you're something of an expert? A: I know, now imagine how everyone else must feel. Q: Why is it like this? A: Because Republicans love administrative burdens and do it on purpose. from @ms.now

KIMMEL: “It’s time to make yourself great again, with REZYNE… Ask your conscience if REZYNE is right for you.” Amazing stuff

A Supreme Court where 5 of 6 conservative justices appointed by GOP presidents who initially lost popular vote & confirmed by senators elected by minority of Americans just effectively killed Voting Rights Act, country’s most important civil rights law. This is not democracy

The problem with the Supreme Court supermajority is not just one of ideology or politics, but of epistemology. The world as they understand it bears little resemblance to reality www.liberalcurrents.com/the-supreme-...

Russ Vought is doing everything he can to target the CFPB and its workers, including illegally cutting critical healthcare and insurance benefits. But he underestimates our resolve and dedication to serving the public. This story about one of our members is case in point.
