Trump's pardons have cost the U.S. more than $1.3 billion in fines and restitution, according to a new report from House Judiciary Democrats

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

I hope every elected official, business owner, university president, and media executive sees the millions of people out in the streets today and understands: If we fight back, this is the power on our side.

There's no word to describe physically assaulting a US Senator for attending a press conference and asking a question other than authoritarianism.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

FLOOR VOTE TODAY 5calls.org/issue/overdr...

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

SecDef Hegseth once said: “Any security professional would be fired on the spot and prosecuted for this kind of reckless conduct.” Today, he’s the one endangering national security. By his own standard, he should be gone.

These Senators are on the fence about voting NO on the CR: Elissa Slotkin (MI) Gary Peters (MI) Jacky Rosen (NV) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Maggie Hassan (NH) Jon Ossoff (GA) John Hickenlooper (CO) Michael Bennett (CO) Mark Kelly (AZ) Peter Welch (VT) Mark Warner (VA) Time Kaine (VA) Call (202) 224-3121

You've made 4,000 calls to your Senators to oppose the CR in the last *35 minutes* alone!! 🔥📞🔥 Keep up the pressure 👉 5calls.org/issue/cr-con...

Been saying it, gonna keep saying it: Every Democrat over the age of 70 should make this their last term.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Remembering Grant McLennan on his birthday. Here's a glorious Go-Betweens performance filmed for Australian TV in 1987. It boasts their best line-up and a short-but-sweet set including Cattle and Cane, Bye Bye Pride, Right Here, Cut It Out, Spring Rain... youtu.be/4ALbPfCFfkQ

NEW: The Department of Government Efficiency has built a “firewall” separating Elon Musk’s team from the 200 or so legacy United States Digital Service workers, sources tell WIRED.

California pays more in federal taxes than it receives in return, while Mike Johnson’s Louisiana takes more than it gives.

Here’s something you can do to make sure Jack Smith’s draft report on Donald Trump’s crimes isn’t suppressed.
