Zero intelligence secrets, sources, or methods are put at risk by showing a video of a boat exploding, or of shipwrecked people clinging to boat pieces hit by a missile and exploding. Such a video reveals absolutely nothing about how the US identified that boat, located it, or chose to attack it.

Sounds about right.

Today is a good day to leak the Epstein files.

The GOP U.S. Supreme Court is not a court-it's an arm of the GOP. In 2028 we need Democratic presidential candidates to make reforming this corrupt court one of the top priorities!

Getting the grade you earned is religious persecution now?

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Pete Hegseth risked our servicemembers’ lives by sharing classified information on unsecured systems. He needs to resign or be fired.

This nation would be a better place if just one White House reporter had the courage to ask "what the hell are you rambling about, old man?"

A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny. The entire operation is illegal. It all needs oversight. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2037...

"The crisis exposed by the Trinidad strike is not just what U.S. forces may have done in the water. It’s what the administration did on land."

can't be said enough times -->

We will have to come up with a new constitutional framework to deal with the reality of the fact that the United States government was taken over by a criminal enterprise.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

It's good news that Trump is slipping in the polls and the resistance is getting more active. But when criminals are cornered, they become even more dangerous. Time to pay attention, stay strong, and crush fascism.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

As his approval sinks, Trump will turn to the emotion from which his power derives: fear. Fear closes us off from each other, weakens what is our strength, deprives us of our future and only serves to secure his. The antidote is hope. An autocrat cannot defeat a hopeful people. Hold fast to it.

If Trump and the Republicans invade Venezuela, it means America has invaded Venezuela. How did we feel about those Germans that didn’t want Hitler to invade Poland? Remember them? No— as the world saw it, it was Germany that invaded Poland, and it will be America that invades Venezuela.

It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

Exactly.

MAGA won't accept that trans women are women but they have no issue pretending that 15 year-old children are women.

We must not be silenced. Thank you Mark Kelly for continuing to use your voice. It’s an honor to stand with you.

Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power." That's a lie. Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power. Wannabe kings don't like it, but that's how separation of powers works.

Nailed it. The modern age of digital colonizers is in full swing.

THIS 1000x

#CNBC is running little pieces from small business owners who are getting slammed by the #Tariffs. I think this is the most damning anti-Tariff programming I've seen. Yet no one is talking about it. It is brilliant and should be made share-able @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

Brutally accurate.

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

•Megyn Kelly—Raping a 15-year-old isn't really rape •Matt Gaetz—Raped homeless 17-year-old •SC Judge Gosnell—Caught with child pornography •OK Judge Worthington—Freed Jesse Butler despite video of him raping 2 teen girls But let’s fear Trans folks & Immigrants?🧐Every MAGA Accusation Is A Confession

Medicare for all. Demand it. Healthcare is a fundamental human right.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social you are a big bag of lyin’ gas

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.

What she said

THIS!!!!!

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, et. al., are starving children for political leverage. Facts.

In case you’re wondering how bad things are, we are getting calls from food pantries on military bases asking if we have any food we can share because they’re hungry.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

On some level, the basic posture of some Dems (not all) is still fearful and tentative. Some seem afraid to say their big wins were driven even *partly* by Trump. Why? Say he's an unpopular and failing president who's wrecking the economy and that voters delivered him a resounding repudiation.

I haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files. I’ll bet you haven’t either.

there is a good case to make that this was NOT jury nullification. I am not sure it met the mens rea standard on the throwing of the sub--also--very old legal maxim--de minimis non curat lex--the law does not concern itself with trifles. case should never have been brought

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

Good news: Turns out that plutocrats are not as competent as we thought.

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI. Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity. AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

it makes me vibrate with rage to see rightwing bullshit about how people getting food stamps don't work. my friend M works full time—NIGHTS—cleaning the airport! that is harder than I or any of these lousy fucks have ever worked in our useless lives
