Critics argue that U.S. President Donald Trump's reported plan to accept a luxury jet from Qatar is a blatant violation of the Constitution and a shocking display of corruption. www.commondreams.org/news/critics...

At least my Republican Senator is honest about his intentions to gut BadgerCare. The GOP is just haggling over how much to strip from healthcare to fund tax giveaways to the rich. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Ramps are up in northern Wisconsin!

I love this so much-here in Wisconsin tonight people voted against Mump and Trusk’s chosen candidate for state Supreme Court

In case it wasn't already obvious, Israel is done pretending that they aren't colonizing the entirety of Palestine: “Instead of hiding and apologizing, we are raising the flag, building and settling. This is another important step on the way to de facto [Israeli] sovereignty in [the West Bank].”

The verdict against Greenpeace threatens all of our free speech rights. If companies are emboldened to sue critics for their speech, everyone's right to dissent is in jeopardy.

The White House is now admitting it ignored Boasberg's order.

I wanted to write this piece to give people a thorough breakdown of what happened to Khalil and why this case represents a sprawling threat to so many people. I also wanted to address some relevant history that many people may not be aware of, while also emphasizing what's new and terrifying here.

I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

"Opposing Fascism Is a Jewish Tradition"--JWP at Trump Tower today.

Recently disclosed court documents reveal that Citibank was following requests from the FBI, the EPA, the EPA Inspector General, and the Treasury Department when it froze the accounts of several nonprofit organizations and state agencies in February.

Wasn't this kind of shit exactly what the First Amendment was designed to prevent?

As the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social says, "Sorry, liberals. There was an election in November, and America clearly voted for Elon Musk to have access to your personal taxpayer data." @cleaver.house.gov - this is beyond egregious.

Was not too surprised to see which states get the most federal Medicaid funding. A third of kids in rural Wisconsin are on it and many elderly and disabled people. Cutting Medicaid will hurt those people most

Basic research, often seemingly pointless on a surface level, can yield significant results. #science #research #fundR&D

Love it! Props to Gov. Pritzker for this hilarious segment. Although, on behalf of fellow MO residents, why isn't our governor laying claim to Mississippi River first, annexing it to the Missouri River? MO Gov. Kehoe is asleep at the wheel! #Missouri

Lead in drinking water causes, among other things, neurological damage resulting in declines in IQ. The conspiracy theorist in me wants to argue this is a deliberate move to make Americans dumb and dumber - making them easier to control by the oligarchs and theocrats. #environment #lead #EPA #water

Government is often too cautious with changes, but recoding the government payment system without extensive testing seems reckless.

We’re witnessing a broad assault on that genuinely meritocratic achievement, the civil service—one that could enable right-wing elites to corruptly loot the place, or install a highly “personalist” government marked above all by loyalty to Trump himself, or some combination of the two.

Israel is escalating its attacks on Jenin in the occupied West Bank. "Israel is trying to turn it into a clone of Gaza — ethnic cleansing, pushing people out and destroying homes systematically," says Palestinian analyst Muhammad Shehada.

What the fuck is this? AI qualifying as a prescriber?

For those of you who haven't read the executive order about Alaska, it does a lot more than open ANWR to drilling and renaming Denali. They are going to revisit ANCSA, which gave lands back to Alaska Natives and was settled in 1971. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The org I work for often needs to draw info from the fed govt for our own reports, and we editors double check usage. Several weeks ago, I checked the NIH's guidelines on race and national origin and left the tab open; today I went to that tab, and the info was gone--replaced with "access denied."

I love The Onion.

I’m writing something about what government around the world should do about ocean-based climate solutions. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy had some reports I wanted to see, but when I visited, they’re just gone. Sad.

We are living in the most superstitious age in human history. “AI” is a catastrophe. It is a profoundly, inhumanly stupid invention being pushed by a besotted, contemptible tech culture. Our collective store of knowledge is being poisoned by botspew. It may already be degraded beyond repair.
