Retired 4-star Army General Barry McCaffrey said the Pentagon's threats to Sen. Mark Kelly are making the U.S. start to look like the government of North Korea.

Diane Cook, the MAGA Republican Legislative Aide to NC MAGA Republican Sen. Norman Sanderson (who was just arrested last month for DUI) was arrested yesterday for trying to burn two people alive in their homes.

Fox is now claiming that Rep. Slotkin is a CIA asset in a “destabilization op,” controlled by “deep state handlers,” because she reminded service members to follow the law. They even suggest she’s unwitting of her own “mission,”

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

Education Secretary Linda McMahon is cutting more Department of Education staff and preparing to transfer core offices to other agencies. Here's what to know.

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing Especially any veterans? Shame on all those who stay silent

This feels like one of those stories you're going to look at a year from now and say to yourself, "Why didn't I move more of my portfolio into cash?" ** ** (This post is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial or any other advice.) 🎁 www.wsj.com/tech/meta-ai...

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

"Credibility takes generations to build and weeks to lose. The Bondi-era DOJ is squandering a storehouse of trust that once insulated the federal justice system. Rebuilding it may take a generation — if it can be rebuilt at all."

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak. 31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula. Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

This from @paulsperry.bsky.social is a bald-faced lie and contains no element of truth. I never received a “leak” of “highly sensitive details about an active investigation” from @jamescomey.bsky.social—in a October 2016 or at any other time, on Google or on any other platform. He links to nothing

In the last ten years, the number of billionaires in the US has nearly doubled and their collective wealth has nearly tripled. Their political contributions makeup an increasing share of campaign funding. Great reporting from @washingtonpost.com with data from @opensecrets.org wapo.st/49wZtQF

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Meanwhile on Hellsite, who knew all the Elon bots were Nigerian? 🤡

DOGE failed. And DOGE is dead. So I guess government can be responsive after all.

This is fu*king outrageous! The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. apnews.com/article/utah...

What makes Twitter tick. Thousands upon thousands of foreign bots.

Chaos and lies in US diplomacy & media: Marco Rubio now denies the US had any input into the savage 28-point ultimatum to Ukraine - says it's from Russia. But Axios reporters Barak Ravid and David Lawler, who got the leak, claimed it was written by the US, by Steve Witkoff and... Marco Rubio! 1/

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The mob wants its cut

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.” Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Weingarten: Take a step back and think about the priorities. Where are children and young people in any of these priorities? The only time they talk about children and young people is when Linda McMahon gets on TV or writes an op-ed about her next steps in cutting the Department of Education…

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

“What it’s gonna take to win is absolute turnout. And so I’m asking you all for the next two weeks, as you are able, to make this election your entire personality.” Sign up for a phonebank to help @aftynbehn.bsky.social flip a GOP district in Tennessee: mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Leavitt: He calls women "pigs", veterans "suckers", Mexicans "rapists and murderers", and murderers "my friend." People love his honesty.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

"“Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don’t like what your political opponents say, execute them,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders. “Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that’s not what we do in America.” www.commondreams.org/news/trump-s...

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Wirecard fugitive and Russian intel asset Jan Marsalek and a ring of Bulgarian spies he operated in the UK have been linked to a multibillion-dollar money laundering scheme that connects street-level drug dealers with sanctioned Russian oligarchs. Two money laundering networks known as Smart & TGR

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

"At least three incidents appear to involve agents tossing tear gas canisters from vehicles as they drove away. A video posted by journalist Dave Byrnes, shows a canister igniting at the feet of a surprised onlooker, who screams and runs away."

This is the third biggest lottery prize of the year so far and the second biggest Powerball jackpot of 2025.

The Cook County, IL budget for 2026 that just passed sets aside $7.5 million per year from the county budget for a permanent guaranteed basic income program, making it the largest permanent county-level GBI program in the US. No details yet on design, just funding. It could pay 1,250 people $500/mo.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

The first independent poll of this election has me tied for first place!
