Not a dementia flag at all.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

Let that sink in....

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

This is huge news! UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal. Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure. ❤️🇨🇦⚕️ news.ubc.ca/2025/10/univ...

Holy shit you guys!!

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

🚨 Do ICE have MRE provisions? Oh, no. That’s a damn shame. All that income and no place to buy a meal. Hey, I know what they can eat… 1/2

Obama should just a post a photo today with his Nobel medal casually propped on a credenza behind him.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

Nice work Jim Watson, nice work.

282 Ex DOJ officials open letter: “We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm. Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen. Bar none. Period. That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens. She deserves the Nobel Prize

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

You can shred the Constitution, threaten journalists, replace judges, rename oceans, and even weaponize the truth against the people. But you can’t outrun accountability. History has its eyes on so many of you. See you at The Hague.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Jasmine Crockett: “Stop believing the lies they are putting out there. The only person that is harming you right now is the old white nepo baby that is sitting in the White House that is causing all the destruction, pain, and problems you are enduring”

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Letterhead: “Secretary of War” Directing National Guard from one state to invade another. Whether they asked for it or not. (Indeed, they’ve resisted.) Fascism yet? Still wondering?

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

JB Pritzker just called Donald Trump treasonous and called for the rise of a resistance capable of calling out Donald Trump for his lies and BS. We’re with you, Gov. substack.com/@demwinsmedi...

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

This is a fierce ruling against Trump from a judge he appointed.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

As zero evidence has been presented for any of these attacks - presumably because there isn’t any - you’re free to make up your own mind about who’s on board.

Trump has blown up another fishing boat off Venezuela. Four dead.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.
