With a gag order lifted, this account by @kos.dailykos.com of a legal confrontation between @dailykos.com and Trump Justice is a must-read. They were stupid to come after Markos and his community. Which they found out. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

He could count on Todd Blanche

In November I broke this story about Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned J6er who molested children and used the promise of reparations to bribe his victims silence.

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

Thanks!

It's literally mind-boggling. The great @joeconason.bsky.social -

NEW: Does Trump use the insult "low IQ" more against Black people than white? Does it show he's a racist? I had a research outfit crunch the numbers. My OUR LAND newsletter has the results. link.motherjones.com/public/45532... Sign up for a FREE trial subscription to OUR LAND at davidcorn.com.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Political Cartoon of the Day by Jeff Danziger.

I have enjoyed the met gala in the past, but am having a hard time connecting to the theme of let’s party while the plebes lose their rights

Pulling 5,000 troops from Germany isn’t a strategy—it’s a handout to Putin and a violation of the law. Trump is using our military to settle personal scores with allies while we’re at war. Congress must enforce the NDAA guardrails and stop this. Substack link in comments.

I hope you didn't miss this profile of @cdelawalla.bsky.social and the campaign she is leading to defend scientific research. We met her at the DC rally in March and admire her unreservedly. Everyone should support @standupforscience.net! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... @gtconway.bsky.social

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

Silence from those who asked why Sen. Kelly, Sen. Slotkin warned against illegal orders from Trump. Where are they hiding?

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

The best thing about Bondi was her incompetence. www.vox.com/policy/48472...

I read the copy from the library, a random pick. Great read, and the I formation needs to be spread far and wide.

Now available in paperback! Great talking with my admired colleague

ICYMI: Journalist @joeconason.bsky.social spoke with @johnfugelsang.bsky.social about his great book, “The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism.”

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

💯 on 🎯

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game. No ICE No War No Kings No Fear.

Matt Murray and Will Lewis weren't speaking to each other. How dysfunctional is that? But then, neither were Fred Ryan and Marty Baron, and Fred Ryan and Sally Buzbee, and Sally Buzbee and Will Lewis. It has been a managerial clown show for YEARS. What does that say about Bezos?

Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Indeed. Thanks for what you do every day.

The Midterms Are Democrats' To Lose -- And They May Find A Way

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

But sure—tell me how it’s the liberals who are “coming for your freedoms,” won’t you. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Thank you, Mr. President.

Just watched @stephruhle.bsky.social conclude her show with a deeply felt tribute to #AlexPretti. ❤️

This never happened. This is a fabricated assertion. I’ve covered immigration for decades and covered Obama critically. If ICE shot at killed 23 people across 26 states there would have been outrage. You just made this up.

Don’t worry! #RFKjr will make sure nobody come up with a vaccine before it gets here

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

If @whstancil.bsky.social runs for office again this can be his theme song

Hilariously fraudulent

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

In addition to being an alleged crook
