Profiting off his promotion of Hallow App doesn’t seem very virtuous to me.

Hell! Seven of them voted to approve her nomination.

As bad as the questioning was, Jeffries is a horrible spokesperson for the Dems. Is this truly the best the party can do? If so, we’re screwed.

A year ago, Bari Weiss’s The Free Press slammed CBS for its internal response to anchor Tony Dokoupil suggesting Ta-Nehisi Coates’s book could be “in the backpack of an extremist.” Now, Weiss oversees CBS—and just had Dokoupil do a softball interview with Bibi Netanyahu. Inside Weiss’s first days:

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

Yeah I agree, he should listen to the president and his advisers speak everyone once in a while, they have made it very clear that's their whole thing bsky.app/profile/atru...

“When the histories of his administration are written, it will be clear that Joe Biden held on to his callous disregard for Palestinians until the end of his presidency” — my latest article for @theguardian.com | www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

Comms pros for electeds: get your bosses on the record and on TV and on the Internet and on the House/Senate Floors tomorrow hammering home how devastating the existing and proposed cuts to NOAA and the workforce and resilience and climate are. Nobody knows about them except us nerds! Tell people.

Excellent! Can we clone him?

Damn—the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that a LOT of the reconciliation bill requires 60 votes to pass, including a massive assault on federal regulations and several heinous attacks on civil service protections. This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Did Netanyahu roll Trump? @camanpour.bsky.social and @rhodesben.bsky.social are on an all-new The Weekly Show to discuss the latest on the Israel-Iran conflict.

Look at these Dem’s donors. They don’t work for us. They work to benefit their wealthy individual and corporate donors.

Maybe it’s the Democratic politicians that need to start doing better. I was absolutely disgusted with Biden/Harris and their policies—i.e., Israel, fracking, etc. Democrats will continue to receive my wrath and criticism until they start representing my interests—not AIPAC and corporations.

Seems like bank account numbers should be at the top of the list.

Blue and purple states should immediately pass legislation requiring businesses to print this information on receipts Pass it on

Maybe he should return Kilmar Abrego Garcia at that time.

I keep coming back to the insanity of this statement from an ICE official, which would sound like something out of 1984 except lacks Orwell's sense of irony and self-awareness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

NEW: We’re suing several top Trump administration officials who discussed high-level national security deliberations over Signal for violations of the Federal Records Act and Administrative Procedure Act. americanoversight.org/litigation/a...

If you’re saying that Jeff Goldberg put our national security at risk, then what did the person who added him to the group chat do?

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

Because she hopefully wouldn’t serve the consultant and corporate donor class.

Used to shop at Target weekly. I haven’t been in six weeks and it feels good. Money (or lack thereof) is all these assholes understand. Consumers have power.

The most honest analysis of where we’re at currently I have heard. Thank you.

Jon Stewart Knocks Dems' Lack of Vision In Countering The Trump Agenda youtu.be/W8OFrDQkfjM

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Clarity.

WTF? My son, who is active duty Navy, has a nautical star tattoo.

Frankly the only thing I want to see or hear from you right now is a concerted effort to remove Minority Leader Schumer. Now is the time to demonstrate your priorities and leadership skills!

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets. Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake. @schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

Maybe Doge should cut his travel/golf budget. Fraud, waste, and abuse!

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents. He is a traitor who needs to resign.

The library is the fountain of knowledge. From a fountain of knowledge flows critical thinking. From critical thinking flows democracy. From democracy flows our livelihoods. We know what flows from defunding libraries. Let us defend our libraries like our liberation depends on it. Because it does.

Say his name: Mahmoud Samir Asleem. The journalist was among 8 people killed by Israel today in a ceasefire violation, and he is the 204th journalist murdered in Gaza

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

Instead of watching the morning news, went out for a sunrise walk and saw these beauties.

“We’re in the midst of an authoritarian takeover of the US government.” civic-texts.ghost.io/on-the-usas-... It may be later than you think, depending on what your civic information diet has been. I’ve been a Cassandra about this since 2016. I’m in extended mourning. Post-truth was pre-fascism.

"Unfortunately as we’ve learned time and again, Congressional Democrats’ tolerance for bullshit exceeds the daily recommended dose." By @marisakabas.bsky.social

Weak! Signed away what little power they had today. Dems never cease to disappoint!

NEW letter to Columbia from Trump admin lists demands for “continued financial relationship” with the US government”: —Suspend or expel students for Hamilton Hall protest —“Time, place, and manner rules” —Mask ban —Address “anti-Zionist” discrimination —Reform admissions —MORE

Republicans snuck a brutal blow to D.C. into their continuing resolution, attempting to defund our vital services midyear without warning. It would have a profoundly devastating, paralyzing impact on so many areas of life, especially public safety and education. It's a total shock and a nightmare.

Make America poor again.
