Normally, presidents divest their investments when they take office. Donald Trump started trading more. We have NEVER seen anything like this. Since January alone, Trump has made 3,699 trades worth up to $687 million in companies like Nvidia, Boeing, and Palantir.

Every Democrat needs to hit a microphone right now to say this is gross corruption, we're paying attention to who gets paid off here and we'll do everything we can to claw it back.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

Remember when the Supreme Court said a president lacked the power to forgive $20,000 of student debt for Pell Grant recipients and the White House just said "Oh, okay"

Reporters Debbie Cenziper & Megan Rose discovered that despite the FDA saying that generics are just as safe and effective as brand name drugs, that’s not always the case. Using the FDA’s own reports, they found that some banned factories were allowed to keep shipping drugs to the US.

Absolutely crazy: Researchers wanted to put cameras on teachers to observe the behaviors of preschool students and use the footage to train AI www.404media.co/researchers-...

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

BREAKING: WHO declares Ebola outbreak a global health emergency

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

No more billionaires. None. Once you hit $999 million, every extra cent goes to schools and health care. You get a trophy that says: “I won capitalism.” And we name a dog park after you.

This is like a setup to a horror movie where you actually root for the ancestral spirit of vengeance to kill everyone.

Rather than conclude that democrats are bad because people like Fetterman and Polis are democrats, I prefer to conclude that people like Fetterman and Polis are not democrats and they need to get the hell out of our party.

ABC killed fivethirtyeight.com, pulling down thousands of stories and dashboards. I can bring them back, but I can offer you https://fivethirtyeightindex.com, my new index of everything captured by archive.org.

Amid his disastrous war of choice and self-created economic crisis, Donald Trump flew halfway around the world to flatter a foreign dictator—and came back with nothing to show for it. Nothing about that is "America first."

Trump's policies make rent, food, and medicine unaffordable while his donors record record profits. This economy works for the billionaires, not the rest of us. #WeCantAffordTrump

My man looks like he directed an arthouse biopic about the Pillsbury Doughboy.

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

Hi, I spend a weird amount of time (aka “getting a PhD”) studying drugs and how people use them. “Super meth” isn’t real. Meth is meth. Read my comments on Spencer Pratt’s weird fixation on a fictional drug! Thanks @milesklee.bsky.social for covering it! www.wired.com/story/spence...

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

This is a perfect handy- dandy guide to which Democrats need to get primaries

Reminder: Donald Trump doesn’t think about your financial situation.

I am so sorry, ma’am, but we lost your son. Surgery was going fine but we decided to let RFK Jr. futz around a little on his insides with a robot. He was eating squash at the time.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

This guarantees I will never see a movie at Alamo ever again lol open.substack.com/pub/embedded...

too many stupid people have money; that's why I'm launching protein cigarettes

These two things are completely unrelated, so don’t even think of trying to make a connection between them

the iran war is a really fascinating lesson in global supply chains did you know a key component of (insert thing here) travels through the strait of hormuz? now you do!

“The Elder Scrolls” is what they say about you when you’re on your phone!

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

These people realize that Elon wants to cut social security and medicare right? youtu.be/PTOVLIxJ-EM

Let me get this straight: the FOUNDER OF BRITISH FASCISM’S grandson runs Palantir for the UK? He wears blackshirts, pals around with Jordan Peterson & Farage, gives speeches about “restoring the West” & reps the company empowering *multiple genocidal regimes?* History truly repeats itself as farce

It's been 5 days since the Trump regime declared their intent to "identify, map at home, crush, cripple & neutralize" trans Americans, and most of the media & the Democrats haven't said a word, let alone raised the alarm. Is it not a kitchen table issue if it's a table where trans people once sat?

Why did Trump pardon drug trafficker and Honduran president Juan Hernández? According to leaked audio tapes, it was an initial payment in part of a agreement between Trump, Bibi, and others to take down Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. english.elpais.com/internationa...

If I *ever* got the chance to address Congress, this is what I would say to them. And if YOU ever get a chance, feel free to use this:

This is some fascist bullshit that endangers national security. Crop scientists protect the fucking food supply! Fungal blight is one of the top threats to feeding the world and that's what they work on. He was protecting his postdocs, as one should! #AgSky #ScienceSky 🧪🌱

If y’all are seriously going to ally yourself with Marjorie Taylor Fucking Green and look past all the damage she’s done and continue to think you’re building a “big tent coalition” while just handing what little you have over to one GOP reject grifter after another, I mean, best of luck, I guess.

I look at MTG as a convert to our cause the same way the Pope looks at JD Vance. I mean, welcome, I guess? But also, sit down and shut up and stop living up to all my expectations.

2026 can either be the end of America... Or the beginning of a radical transformation. If we show up for it. ✊🏼

Well, well, well.

Not an Evangelical but pretty sure you burn in Hell for being an infamous draft-dodger and notorious coward who posts AI images of yourself on the front lines of a war you started to enrich yourself and your friends without any interest in how many kids or American soldiers it kills

Masked federal agents tear gassing & pepper spraying children is a feature, not a bug, of Trump's America. Devastating @propublica.org report about the harm ICE has inflicted on kids. Sickening stuff. You can't reform an agency this evil or violent, you must abolish it.
