The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down From the Reichstag Fire to Putin's toothless Duma, this is what dictators do. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Sinclair is refusing to air Kimmel. @Disney needs to pull their programming. High Potential Abbott Elementary The Rookie Shifting Gears 9-1-1 Will Trent Grey’s Anatomy Dancing with the Stars. PULL THEM ALL FROM SINCLAIR. Leave a gaping hole in their schedule where their ethics aren't.

"As someone who has the cultural background of a grandfather who was killed fighting fascism in Greece, that's sort of embedded in my brain." Dr. Demetre Daskalakis sees eugenics at play in RFK Jr's anti-vaccine perspective.

Yes I love castles. This is fabulous Weikersheim in Baden Württemberg.

Tesla made $405M last quarter — but only by selling $595M in emissions credits. Musk is not in the car business. He’s a pollution salesman. #ElonMusk #Tesla www.gregpalast.com/elon-musk-th...

Here’s a preview of the amazing art in #PaperBoys, the art show I curated at Trotter & Sholer Gallery. Join us for the opening Thursday, July 10th 5-8 pm at 168 Suffolk St.

Weird thing for a Republican congressman to be celebrating but at least he's being honest

The man who’s pretending that he’s burning down the universities in order to protect Jewish students:

Border Czar Tom Homan says that once Congress passes Trump's budget bill, he'll have more money than ever to carry out arrests and deportations: "You think we're arresting people now? You wait 'til we get the funding to do what we gotta do."

The way this will get under that paper thin skin of his…

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

How utterly shorn of dignity and self-respect must one be to speak this way about … Donald Trump and Elon Musk? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Re-upping this “One First” post from April asking—and trying to answer—five questions about the domestic use of the military:

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

It’s almost time for our 25th charity sale to build schools, hospitals and women’s centers in India! This year we’re have a VIP pre-sale cocktail party on Friday, June 13th where a few lucky shoppers have first access to the sale. citta.org/vip-cocktail...

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting. Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

Younger folks around here might shocked to learn that once upon a time Bill Clinton let a few campaign donors have a sleepover at the White House & the national media spent months treating it as the greatest scandal in the history of the republic

In Georgia, we don’t say “towards Europe”; instead, we say “Back to Europe” to underline the centuries-long longing for our historical homeland. And I think it’s simply beautiful 🇬🇪🇪🇺 📸 Dato Simonia

Today's front page.

The firing of the Librarian of Congress is worse than many appreciate. The Librarian is appointed for a ten year term by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. The position is nonpartisan and runs the critically important Congressional Research Service. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

There are things every one of us can do in our daily lives to help ensure free and fair elections — and, in doing so, limit Trump’s power. Some actions are small — so small that you might dismiss them as unimportant. Don’t. Every important journey begins with a single step.

As part of our campaign against antisemitism, we will be attacking George Soros and other wealthy Jews, who are to blame for this scourge. by JD Vance

NY Times Editorial Board: “The first 100 days of President Trump’s second term have done more damage to American democracy than anything else since the demise of Reconstruction. Mr. Trump is attempting to create a presidency unconstrained by Congress or the courts…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/o...

Cole Escola vs. George Clooney is the Tony showdown we needed.

Translation: Christmas is cancelled. Trump's man-made economic crisis could lead to empty shelves and disrupt supply chains as early as 2 weeks from now. Every single free market-loving "pro-business" elected Republican should be pushed on this today.

If Biden was asked a question about Harvard and went on a long rant about Harlem, it would be front page news and Republicans would be drawing up articles of impeachment. Trump is suffering severe mental decline and it’s about time it gets the attention it deserves.
