‼️ USPS will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration, according to Postmaster General David Steiner. “You are going to make a decision that people cannot vote by mail,” @peters.senate.gov said. “That’s unacceptable.” https://bit.ly/4gE3CFR

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Corrupt Senate Republicans blocked the Right to Contraception Act the night before the 4th anniversary of Dobbs. The bill would have given every American a federal legal right to use birth control and protected doctors who provide it. The patriarchy is alive and well with Trump puppets. F that.

Major red flags here 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

Yep. And Maggie first reported in early 2019 that Trump may have run in 2020 for that very same reason.

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

First two cases at SCOTUS today invovle the Republicans preventing victims of terrorism from suing foreign governments, but allowing oil companies to sue foreign governments. Never change, Republicans

STAT News asked whether Trump is the single then-79 year old patient who got privileged access to an Eli Lilly obesity drug. No one would deny it. www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e...

Congressional investigations are needed to determine if Two-Faced Tulsi jeopardized national security. Tulsi Gabbard is a cult puppet, who appears to have taken direct orders from her bizarre, secretive cult guru. Did she share classified information? www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

So Tulsi retires two days after she was informed that this story would be published. newrepublic.com/post/212148/...

But we already lifted all sanctions on Iranian oil.

NEW: The administration is defying Congress on foreign aid that Trump himself agreed to spend. “It is a huge grab of power from the president, taking powers away from Congress,” said David Super, a leading scholar on administrative and constitutional law.

Trump now says it’s just “common sense” for Iran to have a nuclear program. trib.al/rEQE4iv

Tulsi Gabbard’s election security investigation reportedly found vulnerabilities in some voting machines, but not evidence that votes were changed. Now the report is being delayed, Gabbard is out as DNI, and the public still hasn’t seen the full findings.

EXCLUSIVE: Pulled together, details across four UFC plot affidavits portray a Christian extremist movement. But I tracked how law enforcement's explicit references to Christianity and religion vanished by the time top officials addressed the scheme. And how badly they're missing the target.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.       Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals…

"In a review of key claims by the documentary, ABC News found that the majority of the scientific observations made in 'An Inconvenient Truth' have come to fruition or are on track to in the years to come."

Facts matter. Trump is trying to restrict mail in voting by taking control of who is eligible. That’s up to the states, but Trump has decided the states can’t mail ballots to anyone who isn’t on his list. Read here to understand the EO & lawsuits challenging it: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This.

MELONI, to Trump: “.. my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”

It’s time to call this out. The most unqualified person to ever be SecDef is blocking the promotions of high level people for racial and gender reasons not related to their experience or merit. That makes him a person with racist and sexist issues - and a hack who weakens our armed forces.

Trump is dismantling the U.S. Forest Service right before wildfire season. He’s shutting down research stations and eliminating regional offices while claiming there’s no money for public services. Take a sec to tell Congress to stop this:

you just can’t make this stuff up

Wikipedia now officially lists the result of the 2026 Iran War as an "Iranian victory" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ir...

As the screwworm spreads... Remember that Elon Musk’s DOGE cut $15M from a screwworm monitoring program. And we're now learning that Trump’s USDA delayed a project to develop new ways to contain the parasite and held up construction of a monitoring facility. The incompetence is dangerous.

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Hegseth proudly ended the flu vaccine requirement for the military. Following this idiocy, only 40% of new trainees got vaccinated. There’s now a flu outbreak at an AF facility. A new recruit has died, though it is not clear if it was from flu. Now, the flu vaccine is again required there.

Wal-Mart calls the cops on a black woman who they think stole something. In the end nothing was stolen, but the cops riddle the car with bullets as she tries to leave the parking lot. Murdering a baby. Wal-Mart is responsible. The police are responsible and justice must be served.
