People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

And here it is. Kushner is working with the Saudis to grab CNN and make them a propaganda channel for both them and tDumpster. If we do not start doing something now, we are going to belong to all the wrong people. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Senator John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson please comment.

This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this. It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!

This is too much.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Jack Schlossberg talks Kennedy legacy and the fact that Trump’s trying to dismantle it… damn🔥 “He’s so obsessed with the…Kennedy name…that he caged one and put… a rabid dog in his cabinet. put a collar on my cousin RFK Junior and has him there, barking, spreading lies and spreading misinformation.”

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children. We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards. Call your reps 202-224-3121

Too funny.

The most important thing is to draw the obvious conclusions ourselves. newrepublic.com/article/2025...

Florida has regressed to medieval thinking. Halloween witches beware!

Not even corrupt Trump's clear abuse of the presidency to pad his pockets with crypto money is enough to make Congressional Republicans grow a spine, hold him accountable, and protect our national security.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Glad @thedailybeast.bsky.social also picked up this story, also calling attention to First Lady Jill Biden’s Yoshino Cherry. Still waiting on for press reporting on destruction of President Eisenhower’s commemorative Northern red oak, a gift from the people of D.C. he planted on his 70th birthday.

Perhaps he should send Thune one too, and JD Vance, and Miller, etc.

Good story showing how science investigations can shed light on the history of life.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this. Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

Mike Johnson is a raging, spineless, bootlicking liar and creationist nitwit.

Some exciting news: 404 Media just won a grant via Muckrock to investigate book bans and educational censorship in the U.S. The plan is to file hundreds of public records requests around the country and to report on and archive all the documents for public use: www.404media.co/help-us-inve...

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Our food system is broken. We produce enough to feed everyone, yet 3.7 BILLION people can't afford a healthy diet. Meanwhile, how we produce this food is pushing the planet to its limits. A new mega-study The Lancet reveals the shocking scale. 🧪 #foodstudies #nutrition #sustainability 🧵

Yeah, man, look at how reluctant he is to hurt federal workers. Here he is almost a year ago talking about how he wanted to "put them in trauma," but he's wiping away the tears now.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

"What kind of monsters grab children and take them outside without clothes? What kind of govt permits its agents to do this?..The answer can only be a fascist regime that has abandoned any moral code as it seeks to intimidate, stoke fear and do violence." www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-t...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

For years we warned about this: The “Enabling Act of 1933”, which allowed Hitler to seize control of all branches of the German government, served as the template for “Project 2025” — and Trump’s DNA is all over it.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

It’s not just that this is puerile and lawless. It’s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesn’t make them winners.

3) Ask why they're too weak to uphold their duty as a co-equal branch of government. Ask why Republicans have the WH and both Houses of Congress and are too weak to keep government running. Find the most public way you can do this: Xitter, Letter to Ed, call to office, a sign by their office.

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Officially a tyrant: Trump announced Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, Oregon, and to immigration detention facilities around the country, authorizing “Full Force, if necessary” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...
