While this would be an unusual outcome for a civil fraud trial, I believe he should be given the death penalty

Breaking: Elon Musk defrauded Twitter investors when he disparaged the company in 2022 in an effort to buy the social media platform for a lower price than his original $44 billion bid, a jury concluded

Thank you Mr President. You did a good job. Now you can have a burnt steak with ketchup & 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream

Read the statement from @wgaeast.bsky.social and @wgawest.bsky.social on the layoff of Guild members at CBS News. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues and friends and will fight to protect journalists.

My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

Three teenagers in Tennessee have sued Elon Musk's xAI, claiming the company's image-generation tools were used to morph real photos of them into explicitly sexual images.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “John Fetterman's had a 108 point drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023…. “His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.”

Mick Foley quit the WWE to post social media videos reminding us to hold the administration accountable for their crimes against immigrants.

There’s a SUPERB new Keith Jarrett compilation album that has many of his #smoothest cuts. Good for making love, by yourself or with a friend. 🎹 music.apple.com/gb/album/lat...

san francisco residents keep an eye out for the new Crimson Waymo, the only driverless car that has been legally authorized to hunt down and run over the elderly

FRENCH NATO GEN. YAKOVLEFF: “.. [Trump] wants to share the political risk, not the military risk. .. He’ll drop us the minute it suits him. .. This isn’t the time to buy a promo ticket on the Titanic.”

ICE has been hacked! And you can explore the data, which includes every DHS contract, in this convenient new tool micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts

looking at the work ahead of us probably the single most impactful fix you could put in place would be to legally turbo-charge and also destigmatize unionization nationally (card count, revitalized NLRB, make "right to work" illegal, etc). number 2 is rabidly aggressive antitrust enforcement

Where we are: Former DHS secretary’s sidepiece/unofficial staffer allegedly demanded bribes from for-profit prison operator for federal ethnic-cleansing contracts. Explosive (if not surprising) reporting from NBC

Israeli forces have killed or wounded the equivalent of a classroom’s worth of children every day in Lebanon in the past two weeks of Israel’s escalation against the country, the UN’s children’s agency has reported.

This first reup is equivalent in cost to two years of Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Modern conservatism is an alchemy that transforms the abandoned domestic into the murdered international

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

Once again, if the billionaire tech bros were actually *trying* to get us all to drag them out of their mansions to beat them to death with hammers, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.

Would add that Spain's socialists refusing to help the US in Iran has been very popular - they over-performed in local elections. www.politico.eu/article/pedr...

very funny to see an athlete say jesus christ is the reason they were able to beat america

This is obviously the story of the night. I was shocked by how little attention this race got comparatively. Stratton called for abolishing ICE, a $25 minimum wage, and Medicare for All while her opponent was funded by AIPAC and ICE contractors. And she's going to be a Senator!

Spin doctoring at Axios when AIPAC lost the majority of the races they contested— including the most important in the senate primary

The American people deserve to know why this Administration dragged us into war in Iran. Joe Kent should come before Congress. If even officials like Joe Kent do not believe Iran posed an imminent threat, why are we sending more Americans to die in this war?

Put Trump & Netanyahu in a bright red one & send em to Tehran to kick some ass! #RoadTrip

no one on earth doing it like connor o'malley right now, absolutely unmissable www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJER...

My goodness. Watch this astonishing speech.

It’s gotta feel amazing to be Xi Jinping right now. Just fuckin hangin out, racking up wins by sitting still in a chair or perhaps jacuzzi

ok well good news for anyone who isnt a consumer i guess

About 200,000 immigrant truckers will begin to lose their commercial driver’s licenses under a Trump administration rule that takes effect today, straining the industry responsible for moving goods across the U.S. as energy costs surge amid the war in Iran. https://wapo.st/40ALq6V

Breaking News: A New Jersey woman who took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University in 2024 has been released from a federal detention center in Texas, where she had been held for more than a year. She has not been charged with a crime. nyti.ms/4sJs8In

Grady Judd endorsing immigration reform and calling for the Trump admin to pull back on deportation is seismic. He is a strong Trump and DeSantis ally who has been a hardliner on immigration for years.

"It's to distract from the Epstein files!" Yeah well, now everyone doesn't just think he's a pedo, he's a pedo who made their gas $8.00/gal.

I'm old enough to remember that George W. Bush is the reason DHS and ICE and several of the secret warrant structures exist, that Obama did not fulfill his mandate of pulling back on abuses of executive power/murdering people in the Middle East, and to know there is a straight line from then to now

While we’re on the topic of declining crime rates, let’s clear up another thing: There is no "crime wave" driven by non-U.S. citizens.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.
