"Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be called in...over Memorial Day weekend & have to argue that military members...deserve to have their votes counted after they already cast their ballots." SC Sen. Ed Sutton #VoteEarlySC

Private equity is taking our homes. It's taking our hospitals. It's taking beloved local businesses and stripping them for parts. And now private equity is running the Red Sox into the ground. Our new ad ⬇️

An ad that argues private equity has too much power is taken down off the air by a private equity funded company that owns the team, the TV station that airs the team’s games, and the newspaper that covers the team. Platner couldn’t have written the script better himself.

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Conservative “civic centers” are being embedded in public universities to normalize a right-wing version of U.S. history & political thought in order to produce the kinds of knowledge that some politicians & ideologues would prefer. “This civics curriculum is really just propaganda.” #AcademicSky

It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office

JUST IN: Two days after saying the U.S. would NOT renew sanctions waivers on Russian or Iranian oil, Bessent’s Treasury quietly extended a license allowing Russian oil transactions for another month.

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Breaking MS NOW: More than 50 House Democrats are now calling for Trump's removal through impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

I’ve researched the entire history that led to the 25th Amendment and what followed and wrote about all of it nearly a decade ago. Since then — and, in part, due to its limits and complications — I’ve only called for Section 4 to be invoked on two dates: January 6, 2021, and today.

A French senator didn’t mince words calling out Trump’s chaos & recklessness on the world stage. Real leadership earns respect. It doesn’t leave allies shaking their heads & speaking out! The world is paying attention & history will too! #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

Israel has decided to implement its Gaza program in all of Lebanon from 16 km north of the Litani River, turning the area into a no-man's land which cannot sustain life. It will use US-supplied arms and funds to accomplish this. www.ft.com/content/146f...

MS NOW’s Katy Tur pointed out how concerning the state of President Donald Trump’s mental sharpness has been throughout his second term, and had quite a few examples to back it up.

Donald Trump’s plan to steal the 2026 midterm elections is already underway.

Donald Trump wants to stay in power at all costs. And his biggest obstacle is the midterm elections.

Turns out Donald Trump voted by mail. Again. It's almost like mail-in voting is safe, secure and makes voting easier. 🤔

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

This of course runs counter to the recommendations of all major medical and mental health organizations, as well as all existing research and data in this field.

To the Epstein class: Be prepared for accountability. And to serve your sentence out.

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.” (Published Nov. 2025)

“If deep reading cultivates empathy,” Joel Halldorf writes, “the attention-fracturing, dopamine-hitting, scroll-spurring design of digital media often undermines it”:

ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aids—and wouldn't let him have them back

John Roberts attacked the Voting Rights Act when he was a lawyer in the Reagan administration. On the Supreme Court, he's been working to make his wish to destroy the law a reality. bit.ly/4uduYXR

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

Pure godless evil.

His life’s work should inspire us not only to defeat the SAVE Act, confront ICE’s massive assault on civil rights, and overturn the assault on the social safety net, but to aspire to a better vision of America open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

"In just the past few days, a number of high-profile AI staffers have decided to call it quits, with some explicitly warning that the companies they worked for are moving too fast and downplaying the technology’s shortcomings," writes Allison Morrow. | Analysis

I spent the morning at the DOJ looking at the unredacted Epstein files. Here are my initial thoughts and what I’ve found, so far.

Jeffrey Epstein's Global Reach He had scouts and recruiters working for him all over the world. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

A federal judge ruled the Energy Department violated the law when Secretary Chris Wright handpicked five researchers who reject the scientific consensus on climate change to work in secret on a sweeping government report on global warming.

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"jeevacation" btw is Epstein's email address.

She’s right. Arresting journalists and killing civilians who document state violence is textbook fascism. Period.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp: www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

I know this is obvious but if you missed it, Trump has appointed himself lifetime leader of the world -- technically Chairman of the Board of Peace. Term never expires.

🇻🇪 Leaked audio from Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodríguez revealed that in the minutes following the kidnapping of Maduro, U.S. officials explicitly threatened her life and that of other ranking Chavista figures if they did not cooperate.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Text alert from the City of Minneapolis about 50 minutes ago informing residents that National Guard is assisting MPD with checkpoints around the Whittier neighborhood.

There are now a half dozen occasions in the last year in which NATO intelligence services have discovered that high classified intelligence reporting furnished to the Trump White House were furnished to the Kremlin within hours (I posted the story about this in Handelsblad).

Everything Trump says here is verifiably untrue. During this period of time the number of US installations on Greenland went from 17 to 1 as a result of US determinations that they were not needed.
