Governors, mayors, elected utility regulators and candidates running for those offices: Make a simple pledge to block residential electricity rate hikes that finance cheap power for Big Tech companies’ data centers. Steal this idea — and campaign on it.

A new mural has appeared at the Kiev Children's Hospital—the very hospital that Russia deliberately attacked in July 2024. Thank you to everyone who is helping to protect the Ukrainian sky and preserve the lives of Ukrainian children.

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

The truth about Trump's 'hush money payments' to farmers and ranchers...

Arkansas soybean farmer on bailouts: "I want trade, not aid. I need a place to sell this stuff. I can work hard enough and make a product. They've painted us in a corner with this China deal and China not buying soybeans. They've tore a market in half."

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

There is no version of reality where Pete Hegseth was remotely qualified or morally fit for the position he occupies. That’s why our troops are in danger, it’s why our National Guard members were shot, it’s why we have armed, masked thugs terrorizing people…

Sarah Owings is a lawyer who represents immigrants who have been detained by ICE. As Trump and Republicans remove all oversight measures at these facilities, it is critical that we listen to her clients’ stories.

I hate this for us

@dahlialithwick.bsky.social We reported that Rep Adam Smith told us he tried to solicit Admiral Holsey's sworn testimony in a classified briefing, Pentagon said No, and Republicans won't push for it: newrepublic.com/article/2025...

Unless proven otherwise, every Republican in Congress supports this image:

to reiterate a point from the column trump’s pardons of fraudsters and corrupt politicians should be understood as an expression of his belief that corruption should not be a crime

This is what happens when you have the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history.

Trump and cronies like Pete Hegseth aren’t just criminal incompetents, they’re utterly dangerous. The combination of cruelty, inadequacy, and corruption destabilizes and endangers all of us, and every day it gets worse and worse. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-hollow...

You know why Black folks with sense know you all are not ready to fight this administration? Because the Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted 381 days. Too many of you want instantaneous solutions.

"Unitary executive" is really "24 year olds in the West Wing tell everyone in the federal government with experience and knowledge what to do at their jobs."

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

"The DOD Manual is clear because the law here is clear: 'Persons who have been incapacitated by . . . shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack.'"

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal. Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military. Pure, mindless, barbarism. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pet...

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Last week, a judge ruled that Trump illegally deployed the National Guard to Washington D.C. They never should have been there. They never should have been in harm's way. The US military does not belong in our streets. This occupation has gone on for long enough.

Will this finally b his justification to enact martial law?

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

The Nobel Prize–winning economist warned that Trump would not be able to lead the U.S. through this unpredictable economy.

Trump’s illegal strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific now have a death toll of over 80. With looming threats of land strikes in Venezuela, Trump is trying to start a new, pointless forever war. I’m doing all I can to stop him. youtube.com/shorts/s1L56...

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Exactly

I stand with Mark Kelly. Hegseth is a drunken disgrace. Trump is a pedophile. This entire administration is an abomination. #DefendersOfDemocracy

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood. That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"
