Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.

Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions. Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company. Unprecedented corruption.

Just weeks ago, I pushed Secretary Rubio to rule out deporting people to conflict zones. Since then, we’ve learned ICE sent women who fled Afghanistan, Syria & even Iran to the Central African Republic—a conflict zone country. Days after the GOP gave ICE another $70 billion with no guardrails. (1/2)

😶 Democratic Absences Mean Trump Lawyer Is Now a Judge for Life. Reminder that the Dems could have changed the outcome of Trump's disastrous budget bill with the # who died in office. newrepublic.com/post/211954/... via @newrepublic.com

Trump pardoned the January 6 insurrectionists and called them "great people" who went there "with love." 97 have been charged with other crimes, including 19 cases after the pardons. Trump's attempt to rewrite history has put these dangerous criminals back on the streets, making all of us less safe.

Scurrilous low life on the White House lawn—an unimaginable insult to all Americans.

Congress must ensure every dollar spent by the Pentagon is being used to protect the American people, not just disappearing into the coffers of the military industrial complex. And that includes any funding for Trump’s ‘Golden Fleet.’ responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-battle...

They knew this would happen and carried it out with this outcome in mind.

1/ We will have young and new members of Congress in the fall. This article is an indispensable roadmap for them. It should be the Dems opposition strategy, in fact. Investigation, listening & public memory functions are vital & do not have to happen in DC. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It has been one year since House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their dog Gilbert were assassinated. Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette survived the assassination attempt. We remember Melissa and Mark Hortman and their family, whose lives were shattered by political violence.

No matter how much money Elon Musk makes, this will be his legacy.

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it.   ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions.

70 billion for deportations, 1.8 billion for rioters and criminals, endless tax cuts for billionaires, yet somehow no money left for your earned benefits. And Trump's record inflation - which he says he loves - is undermining Social Security even more. Americans deserve better.

Coloradans deserve to know why Trump is stealing $90 million from our national parks and blowing it on firework shows and fountains. Robbing parks to pay for Trump's pet projects puts our iconic public lands at risk. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

What do cop beaters, conspiracists, Proud Boys, pedophiles, insurrectionists, election deniers, and the My Pillow Guy all have in common? If Trump has his way, they'll all get a payout from his $1.8 BILLION slush fund.

US CPI: the trend is not your friend. On a three-month annualized basis inflation is up 8.2% and is up 5.6% on a 6-month annualized pace. Over the past year energy prices were up 23.5%, energy commodities 40.6% and gasoline prices 40.6%. #Econ #EconSky

The GOP long ago abandoned institutions while the Dems have focused on crisis messaging. Now is a great time to transform vs. reform our system (this obsolete jalopy no longer drives a respectable democracy) @pahlkadot.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/eatingpo...

We have so harmed our public servants (IMHO, the best of us🇺🇸) every individual needs to think about how we can repair, renew, & redesign a system that will hold this criminal regime accountable & never let another malignant, anti-humanity crusade get power again. the1a.org/segments/wha...

We need to stop Donald Trump's corrupt DOJ deal that protects him and his family from tax audits and ensure no future administration can abuse government power in the same way. I'll keep fighting his lawlessness.

Civic evidence for lawmaking. I am now working on a way to repair the listening & memory systems of American democracy—this critical infrastructure has been largely commodified & now actively deleted. What remains is often stuck in 1980. This is an exciting opportunity to devolve power.

This isn’t a coincidence.     Trump bought millions of dollars’ worth of Dell stock. Nine days later, he told a rally crowd to “go out and buy a Dell computer.” Then he bought even more Dell stock. Three months after that, his Pentagon handed Dell a $9.7 billion government contract.

ICE flights. Friday, May 29, 2026. At least 88 flights on 30 planes, the most I've recorded. At least nine removal stops.

Americans organize--even when they are deeply harmed. Case in point, scientists. These folks have been targeted & punished by the Trump regime in its efforts to erase the mission critical memory of our democracy. We will need them soon, to repair & redesign. open.substack.com/pub/protectd...

☢️ Danger! => The IRS, the Federal Labor Relations Authority and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission now have non-Senate-confirmed Trump regime appointees for the first time. ☠️ These are institutions whose legitimacy depends on independent, expert administration, not political staffing.

Revenge against multi racial and inclusive democracy is the spectacle. And the organizing principle of Trump’s minions.
