Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

Due process is ending after 250 years. The demise of the long-running pillar of democracy made our critic think of another thing: maybe the government should just kill everybody they don't like immediately and get it over with.

I still can't get over how only one GOP member stood up for Epstein's victims and private interest groups spent $10mil to eject him from the party.

O Canada, reject this surveillance bill! The controversial Bill C-22 has Signal and a number of major VPN providers threatening to pull out of Canada. Read all about it in our digital security newsletter, and subscribe.

The order is a big step "in ensuring that presidential records remain exactly what they have been for nearly 50 years: public property."

Trump wouldn't need immunity from prosecution or IRS audit if he weren't breaking the law. Hold him to the same standards as you and I are held.

The Trump administration’s attacks on the Southern Poverty Law Center are about all of us. We have a fundamental right to speak truth to power and support the causes we believe in, whether the president agrees with them or not.

I’ll never get over the petty evil of a church moving in to my neighborhood, buying up a free public parking lot that tons of people used, and turning it into a paid lot. Jesus would let people park in his neighborhood for free is all I’m saying.

It’s been just over a year since Rep. LaMonica McIver showed up to an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, to do her job. Members of Congress have had the statutory right to conduct unannounced oversight visits at ICE detention centers across the country before. But this time was different

The glamorous job of a DOJ attorney; trying to bankrupt undocumented immigrants with no savings, just to make their life even more of a hell. Congrats to every lawyer involved, now quit your job.

Nearly 800,000 Louisianians voted yesterday and won, rejecting all five state constitutional amendments put forward by Gov. Jeff Landry...

Chevron is seeking a massive tax break in Texas for a new gas-fired power plant would exclusively serve a Microsoft data center. The plant could qualify for more than $227 million in tax breaks over 10 years, and the power from the plant wouldn't go to homes or local businesses at all. /1

It is worth saying that it appears that the brave and principled actions of people of Minneapolis and the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good seem to have been a legitimate inflection point in American politics. We should carry that forward with us.

Rep. Auchincloss bodies Rep. Buddy Carter: "As you just heard from my colleague from Georgia, even an insurrection is apparently to the Republican Party not cause for impeachment."

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

Weather unfollowed is a danger to all Americans. NOAA faces proposed budget reductions of about $2 billion, and one proposal would eliminate NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research entirely, shutting down all research laboratories across the country.

“After analyzing crash data over a 13-year period in areas with separated bike lanes on city streets, researchers estimated that having a protected bike facility in a city would result in 44% fewer deaths and 50% fewer serous injuries than an average city.” Safer for ALL. Via @usa.streetsblog.org

Charlie Angus on impact of Canadian boycott of US travel: "Many tourist locations are talking about drops of 50% ... There's areas where the losses have been as high as 80%. We're not bragging as Canadians. We're doing something to defend our sovereignty and put the pressure on MAGA."

Energy prices have surged, but inflation has increased the cost of common food items for years.

the trump administration assertion that it is “unlawful” for private organizations to pursue diversity is nonsense. what this is, once again, is an effort to roll back desegregation that the ABA has surrendered to.

What a paragraph. “Six people killed, including three paramedics.…Ceasefire extended.” us18.campaign-archive.com?e=caa2f2148d...

Thanks to those who tuned in to our webinar about the current transparency landscape and how to get documents from the government, and a special thanks to our panelists: @kevinhbell.bsky.social, Michael Sarich, and Ginger Quintero-McCall. Did you miss it? Watch it here:

We’re going back to Selma and Montgomery. Why? The Supreme Court destroyed the Voting Rights Act, and the country needs to be reminded who we were before Civil Rights - and why we can’t go back.

Some very good news out of a Texas federal court: Alex Jones doesn't have standing to appeal a Bankruptcy court order that placed InfoWars' assets in state receivership, meaning they can be licensed or sold to us. More to come, obviously, but we're almost there.

5,000 faculty members at Penn State have won their union. That includes all full-time and part-time faculty across multiple campuses. The union says this is the largest public sector win in 50 years.

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

It's time to ban members of Congress from lobbying for life. I have a new bipartisan bill to get it done.

Three fertilizer producers control 90% of the market in North America. Thanks to their dominance, they can take advantage of shocks (like Trump's Iran War) and jack up prices on farmers. Nutrien, one of the biggest, saw earnings increase 631% in Q1. Farmers get squeezed while Big Ag rakes it in.

Eric Trump joining Donald Trump on an official state visit to China is much more corrupt than anything involving Joe and Hunter Biden, yet New York Times coverage indicates the opposite. I show the contrast here, and challenge anyone to explain how it isn’t media bias in Trump’s favor.

Why don't male spaces celebrate men like Harrison Ford, John Lewis, Anthony Bourdain, Chadwick Boseman, etc? These men are much celebrated representations of healthy masculinity - why don't they get the status others do in male spaces?

BREAKING: Senators Rick Scott and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a bill that would permanently ban former lawmakers from doing any form of lobbying. The bill would impose potential jail time and heavy fines for violators.

BREAKING: The Senate has voted unanimously to withhold their own pay during federal government shutdowns. Like other federal employees, senators will receive back pay after a shutdown ends.

on this day 1961 "a white mob twice attacks a Freedom Riders bus near Anniston, Alabama, before fire-bombing the bus and attacking the civil rights protesters who flee the burning vehicle." time for us to truly reform America.

The New York Times’ @nickkristof.bsky.social writes about the brutal sexual abuse, rape of male and female Palestinian prisoners, including journalists, by Israeli prison guards, soldiers, settlers, and interrogators — abuses funded in part by our U.S. tax dollars.

Behold the first episode of ProPublica's new podcast -- where we bring you inside our investigations. It's *interesting,* It's *lively,* we even *swear.* All in the public interest 👇🏻 www.propublica.org/series/paper...

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Corporations reportedly received “VIP invitations” to “networking” events in exchange for sponsoring Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s road trip. The sponsors included Boeing, Toyota, and United Airlines — all of which are regulated by Duffy’s department. The corruption never ends.

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

There are few things more difficult than departing from meeting with a client in I.C.E. detention. Wasn’t even permitted to speak with her because I didn’t have the funds to pay associated fees beforehand. To be clear, this is illegal. The Right to Counsel is clear. But the Rule of Law is dead. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: We're suing federal agencies and the Tennessee Highway Patrol on behalf of people who have faced arrest, intimidation, and surveillance for filming the immigration and law enforcement activities of the “Memphis Safe Task Force.” The First Amendment protects our right to record.

This is just 4 guys who google "best shoes for office Wirecutter" and then don't read the breakdown.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

"It shouldn't matter that you're a veteran or the color of your skin or if I'm an immigrant. We all deserve to be treated fairly and with human dignity."
