Big Law isn’t just sitting out the fight against DOJ lawsuits. They have virtually disappeared from the fight for voting rights and free and fair elections altogether. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/big-...

Some basic facts: Venezuela produces about 1 million barrels of oil a day. (US, 20m.) But it has what's probably biggest reserve in world at 300 billion. It will take massive investments (and years) for Venezuela to significantly increase its output. Who will do that? Who will pay for that?

My youngest daughter had a rotavirus when she was two weeks old and spent three days in the hospital. I almost lost my mind when the attending doctor told me she was severely ill.

America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024. Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Tim Walz says he won’t run for another term as Governor. They’ve successfully bullied a good man into stepping aside. His colleague was brutally murdered. People have been driving by his house shouting slurs at him and his family. It’s shameful.

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The DOJ’s newest lawyers played key roles in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. They’re now helping to lead some of the department’s voting issues — a move that underscores the DOJ’s shift from protecting voting rights to undermining them.

The part of what has happened to Tim Walz that really upsets me is how MSNOW &CNN, etc, didn't even bother to report on this that I could see, which led the rightwing to run with it unchecked.Maybe I'm wrong, but seems like this will work hiding the Epstein files as well. No one even mentions now.

The Polymarket bettor, the identity of whom is unknown, bet $30,000 on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro less than a day before he was abducted by U.S. forces.

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he will move to demote Mark Kelly, a Democratic U.S. senator and ex-Navy captain, as punishment for telling troops last year that they are obligated to refuse unlawful orders — a move Hegseth called “seditious in nature.” https://bit.ly/4aJGXoP

My law firm is representing clients intervening to fight DOJ's effort to obtain sensitive voter data. DOJ originally opposed our intervention. After they lost the first few, they switch positions. So far we've been granted intervention in: Maine Oregon California Michigan New Mexico New Hampshire

“There’s a lot of money to pay for this. It doesn’t have to be US taxpayer money,” Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz claimed about Iraq in March 2003. That wasn’t the case, and just like what would happen in Iraq, the military campaign in Venezuela is likely to have steep costs.

WIN: A Texas appeals court dismissed an anti-voting lawsuit challenging Harris County’s voter roll maintenance practices, citing lack of jurisdiction. Voters who brought the case argued the county’s failure to maintain accurate voter rolls violated Texas law. https://bit.ly/4gXGgcw

@pabloreports.bsky.social to Sen. Lankford: What does it say that President Trump notified the oil companies before he notified Congress? Lankford: Ha, ha, ha. I haven’t heard that, actually. So I don’t know about that.

My friend @governorwalz.mn.gov has been a dedicated public servant from his time in the National Guard to Governor of Minnesota. Everywhere he goes he carries with him his Midwestern values of kindness and standing up for working families. Thankful for his service and sacrifice.

Investments like these don’t just sustain local economies and create new jobs for Illinoisans — they transform communities, promote continued growth, and raise the quality of life for working families in our state.

"Vance wrote, 'You don’t get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US because you live in a palace in Caracas.' OK? But apparently you do get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US if you’re a foreign head of state with ties to Trump’s inner circle..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"Hernández boasted that he would 'stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses' while trafficking more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. "Trump freed him, saying, 'If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail'..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Companies are sharing information on how to make products like toothpaste tubes recyclable. Critics say this is anticompetitive behavior.

So far, five GOP-controlled states have redrawn their maps. Over seven new red seats are likely to come out of those measures, with potentially more on the way. 🗺️ We outline where the redistricting battle stands now, and where it’s headed in 2026.

Understanding these “what ifs” helps scientists explore how solar systems, and potentially life, emerge across the galaxy. This project is part of IF/THEN®, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

This threshold is why Jupiter never ignited. Had it gained enough mass, the Sun might have shared our solar system with a second star, potentially disrupting the protoplanetary disk that formed Earth. That gravitational presence could have kept our planet from forming at all.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but did you know it nearly became a star? ⭐️🧪 Astrophysicist @erikahamden.bsky.social explains that while Jupiter is massive, it would need to be about 80 times more massive to initiate nuclear fusion and become even a small star.

It's a small world: The Maduro indictment dates back to a 2011 indictment of Hugo Armando Carvajal-Barrios. In 2019 Emil Bove, then an AUSA, began representing the gov't, before going on to be Donald Trump's criminal defense lawyer & now a 3rd Circuit Judge.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, generated explicit images of minors at some X users’ request. It’s clear we need robust AI regulation — but Big Tech is working overtime to block any and all attempts to rein it in. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imtkNL4v2ks

Trump may demonize migration from Venezuela, but he helped fuel it.

“.. in 2025 the value of global trade likely crossed $35 billion for the first time in history. That’s 7% more than the previous year. .. The White House can tax trade, but it can’t shut it down.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

1. The military raid on Venezuela and ouster of Maduro will create a financial windfall for a Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer. Follow this thread for details. 🧵 popular.info/p/venezuela-...

No one should bemoan the end of Maduro's reign. But Trump's illegal operation is about more than just Venezuela. It's about a President believing he has no limit to his power as Commander in Chief. Congress must say no to this abuse of force.

What’s the line on this persons identity? I’d say Barron, but he’s not a new wallet. Maybe a member of Congress?

My God 😳

Hospital ERs will be crowded with people who can’t afford consistent care and wait until they’re in dire shape to get help. This at a time when many hospitals will end up closing their doors. Everyone knows that healthcare at the back end is exponentially more expensive than preventative care. 🤬

Fortunately, we are currently healthy, so we took a calculated risk that our healthcare needs will be less than $36K in 2026. Many have chronic conditions and can’t take that risk. We are failing on healthcare in this country.

This is horrendous ! How can ill people in the USA get proper health care with those ridiculously high prices ?? #TrumpIsKillingAmericans
