Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, was allegedly recorded by undercover FBI agents accepting a $50,000 cash bribe last year. Trump’s Justice Department dropped the case. So much for being "tough on crime."

Jimmy Kimmel is a great example of how pushback works and also how completely craven Shari Redstone was canceling Colbert

Removal protections are gone. Humphrey's Executor is overruled in all but name by the Shadow Docket. Rest in peace to the Presidency, and long live the Monarchy.

I have never seen a festival of hate like what is happening in Arizona today Every speaker sounds like they want to genocide more than half of America

Listening to the Charlie Kirk memorial and the religious zealotry and Christian nationalism speeches from previously agnostic people is truly chilling. America is the biggest threat to the planet.

The vehement hate for "empathy" that Musk, Trump, Kirk and Miller constantly harp on actually makes sense once you realize the disdain sociopaths feel for things they don't possess.

‘Spiritual war.‘’ Full armour of God’.‘Warrior for Christ.’ ’Faith and family First’ - Pete Hegseth. Deze hele Kirk begrafenis is een een grote, griezelige manifestatie van conservatief christelijk nationalisme.

You guys, I’m not an economist I didn’t even graduate from college, though I do have an advanced degree (but not a fancy one) and even I know this is not a good sign

I was sharing articles regarding "The Orbanization of America" to people who thought it wasn't happening here. Everyday we get closer.

Donald Trump is gambling that he can consolidate authority before the public turns too sharply against him, argues @davidfrum.bsky.social:

Today in 2020, RFK Jr's nephew risked his career to reveal how Kushner's Covid-19 task force kept PPE from hospitals and lied about infection numbers. Rather than assist the government, the team was meant to silence health experts.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Here are five, practical next steps you can take to make a difference. https://youtu.be/8W-lVRQQGtI?feature=shared

Note on Hollywood history. They went with Tarantula because in 1955 "Black" Widows and "Brown" Recluses weren't given lead roles. #svengoolie

This is your daily reminder that they have kidnapped and deported documented immigrants who haven't broken the law, U.S. citizens, and American children. It's not breaking news. It's been the reality for months, and it will continue to get worse.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Aaaand this is why Bondi has dismantled the public corruption unit at DOJ. It’s now pay to play

In 2020, Trump's FBI had such a hard time finding crimes connected to anti-fascist protesters that they teamed up with the Proud Boys to monitor protests and plan ahead for counter-protests.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

Brendan Carr wrote the section on the FCC in Project 2025. This is all going according to plan. Get ready for 24 hours a day of Stephen Miller on every channel telling you how bad brown and Black people are and how Democrats belong in concentration camps.

Yep. I can see why the republican fascist party likes him so much!

Mario Guevara, a journalist who was arrested for covering a protest, has been detained by ICE for months. Read Mario's experiences in his own words.

The Trump administration said it will require journalists at the Pentagon to pledge they won’t gather any information that hasn’t been authorized for release. Under the policy, the Pentagon may revoke press passes for anyone it deems a security threat.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

The VA is down 600 doctors and about 1,900 nurses so far this year, the first time the agency has seen net losses in years. At several facilities, more than a third of the positions for doctors are unfilled. By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social @vernalcoleman.bsky.social @ericumansky.bsky.social

Making vaccines was already a tough business. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it worse, Katherine J. Wu reports.

What does this tell you about the Trump administration’s health policies? Everything.

It’s not right that working people are living one medical emergency away from bankruptcy, homelessness, or worse. In Congress, I’m working to build an economy that works for hardworking people. That's why I'm proud to help introduce commonsense legislation, guaranteeing paid family & medical leave.

Surrendering to tyranny only invites more of it.

After Trump v. US, any attempted oversight or course correction of Trump's politically motivated investigations now runs up against his new exclusive powers. That's because, as @pemalevy.bsky.social writes, the Supreme Court has made clear that no other branch of government may intervene.

This is exactly the topic of my talk tomorrow

Trump's DOJ deleted a study about the rise of far right violence in America. Meanwhile, Trump baselessly smears so-called "far left" critics and threatens to unleash the government on them. Make no mistake: Trump's sole focus is suppressing dissent & consolidating more power.

FBI Director Kash Patel said court orders bar him from releasing the Epstein files. Judges have said otherwise.

When immigration agents arrest Americans without sufficient cause, detain them without access to counsel, or ignore proof of citizenship, they fail their duty to protect the public. I’m asking for an investigation into DHS’s arrests, detentions, and deportations of U.S. citizens.

In the past 4 fiscal years, Congress appropriated, with virtually no public debate, in excess of $100 billion more than any president sought for more than 2,000 weapons programs, according to a government watchdog group’s database and recent Pentagon reports. And there is more on the way this year.

I went through everything from the night of Charlie Kirk's murder and corrected anyone on Fox News who used the plural "they" to describe the shooter or any shooter. In this case the man uses he/him pronouns. They implies a group - the shooter acted alone.

Per the NYT. A massive level of corruption, beyond anything we’ve ever seen. Trumps get rich, their cronies get special deals, jeopardizing our security.
