Zelensky says Russia is surveilling U.S. bases to aid Iran—yet no visible pushback from Trump on Putin. As strikes escalate, Moscow appears directly enabling attacks on U.S. assets. #Putin #Trump #Iran #Targeting kyivindependent.com/russia-surve...

We had literal years of coverage of the "tea party" which had a fraction of #NoKings support and was entirely astroturfed by rightwing moneyed interests. Seriously, fuck The New York Times. Fucking trash rag.

This. Is. Murder. Even. If. No. One. Calls. It. That.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Not so marvelous news. ~95,000 scientists have left the federal government since the Trump regime took over.

Seeing ICE detaining people at airports is so sickening and so are the details about the LGA plane crash. Just a fraction of the money they’re using to brutalize families could be spent on rehiring air traffic controllers, who they fired so they could brutalize more people

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

A big — if preliminary — win for #AAP and pro- #vaccine policy today. A court has ruled Robert Kennedy's reconstitution of #ACIP and his department's rewriting of the childhood vaccination schedule are likely illegal. Developing story. www.statnews.com/2026/03/16/k...

I wrote about the cordyceps campaigns of Illinois - super PACs with bottomless money running "progressive" message ads to beat progressives www.semafor.com/article/03/1...

This is just astonishingly great reporting. All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them. And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Has a reporter ever asked Trump if he is responsible for letting bad people do bad things through his pardons?

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year: -1.4 million people on Medicaid -19 million kids getting free school lunches -1.4 million people getting affordable housing -1.1 million hungry seniors fed -0.8 million children given free child care

feels telling about American foreign policy punditry that while many decry the aimlessness of Trump’s monstrously wrong Iran war there were far more outraged columns over the harm done to US power and influence and standing and interests and example when Biden rightly withdrew from Afghanistan.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.” @jkbjournalist.bsky.social bringing it home www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

“Police reported that Johnson, 45, tried to keep the children quiet by telling them he would share millions of dollars in restitution money he expected to receive from the Trump administration in connection with his Jan. 6 case.” www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

Some questions that no one has asked: Why Kristi Noem put an inexperienced 20-something in charge of terrorist prevention. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Why are people offended by the acrobatic falcon It keeps flipping the bird

donald trump and his cabinet are using the power of the government to cover up allegations he raped a child

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

Other than the fact that Democrats aren’t bloodthirsty, soulless monsters, why shouldn’t they run their own ads featuring the victims of pardoned January 6-ers, the way Trump does with examples of immigrant crime? He mightily deserves his own Willie Horton campaign.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Dems need to start playing hardball and let this bill pass. We know the voters most affected vote GOP. Let GOP leaders deal with the fury from their voters for what they passed, instead of Dems taking the heat for not preventing imaginary voter fraud! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/u...

Explain to me why Democrats aren't all over Trump paying "illegals" $2600 of taxpayer money to leave the US? Why isn't there a left wing conspiracy theory that Mexican gangs are sneaking people across the border to on purpose get caught and make $$?

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.

Republicans, especially Maga Republicans absolutely HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOM. Hate us for our freedom of Speech, religion, of movement, press, our freedom from search & seizure, they hate that we have any of these.

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

So, these detention camps are full of brutality, rape, cruelty, malnourishment and death. Who would have expected it? It's not like this happened from Revolutionary War Prison Ships to Andersonville to slave market pens to Indian Schools. The people who created these camps KNEW this would happen.

ICYMI: #FDA has refused to review #Moderna's mRNA #flu vaccine licensure application, suggesting the company should have used a different comparator vaccine in its Phase 3 clinical trial. Moderna suggests the regulatory agency moved the goalpost. www.statnews.com/2026/02/10/f...

I remember when Bush-era Republicans started saying about Iraq: "they hate us for our freedom." At the time I was like how would you ever think of such a weird attack? Now I know EXACTLY why they jumped to that phrase. It's 💯 how Trump and his entire Epstein Class of billionaires feel about us.

My point is that they've become so inured to Trump's corrosive effect on institutions and norms, and so invested in defending their prior rejection of more far-sighted critics' claims, that they shrug off things that under any other circumstances they'd see as existential threats to US democracy.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

DOJ didn’t forget to redact this one.

Firing Stephen Miller is probably the most powerful thing we can do RIGHT NOW to cripple Trump's entire agenda. Even trying and failing is great. Making him the face of the administration weakens Trump immensely. Normal people have no idea he exists. That's a huge mistake.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
