Our investigation showed that levels of benzene, a cancer-causing gas, were 37x higher than what the facility reported in the past. The Trump admin has halted efforts to monitor for benzene near large industrial plants like this one, leaving communities in the dark about the air they breathe. (2/2)

Virginia Democrats on Thursday night vowed to axe four Republicans from the state's U.S. House delegation, a direct response to the Supreme Court ruling that same evening that Texas' extreme Republican gerrymander is legal.

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values. If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin. This SCOTUS is corrupt.

He, BS, They will be remembered as the most compromised and corrupt Supreme Court in history.

Chicago Snowfall

Opinion | Putin should have accepted Trump’s deal. Now Russia’s collapsing economy could lead to his downfall - The Guardian incredible article- Rubio & the GOP need to stop helping Trump!

@andrewhickey.500songs.com no problem! Take your time & stay healthy. I enjoyed the last bonus episode. I’ve seen the Anthology as well- very good. Lennon is still the most interesting. Love the commentary on Abbey road. I always thought Let it Be came after it; they really did go out with the best!

The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was reportedly engaged in a nasty years-long custody battle with the White House press secretary’s brother before she was detained by Immigration and Customs enforcement last month. trib.al/gWALLSw

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

Why do I have to exhaustively cover Trump via complex curatorial journalism when columnists at the WSJ get to write sentences like "Olivia Nuzzi is the kind of entertaining, possibly unstable character you might come to regret bumming a cigarette from late at night in a college dorm"?

I wrote about the Olivia Nuzzi saga and how it reflects the voyeurism and indignity that drives so much of our media—social and otherwise. This is an essay about elite excess, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and the crisis of our democracy. www.liberalcurrents.com/american-fre...

Jordon Hudson has agreed to manage Olivia Nuzzi along with Bill Belichick.

Tim did a great job trying to get her to be accountable, but no- she wanted to pretend that she was a poor woman in peril! Who was she afraid of? Her former fiancé who knew about her other affairs with her political subjects🤪 She’d slip into almost fundy voice when the questions were a little tough.

Looking forward to Face the Nation with Olivia Nuzzi, Sundays on CBS

Olivia Nuzzi is set for life, folks. She'll fail up. She played the game in the most gross, shameless way possible. Just watch. The Town protects its own.

U of Nebraska can thank one of their students and his dad for the destruction of these programs! Thank the Farritor family that benefitted from u of Nebraska largesse for the cuts! Luke Farritor made it happen & starved kids along the way to give Trump his gold ballroom & Musk his rockets!

The liability endowment should be funded by their estates- not taxpayers. They should also go to prison, if kids die! Consequences for their action!

Another ridiculous account, that’s not interested in real dialogue. Between 1500 and 1600 Humans didn’t reach a billion. It was not until there were more stable food sources, vaccines & understanding of disease did the population grow. Blocking to keep skies blue!

It will take years for deaths, so there will be no action or outcry. Meanwhile, if we needed more evidence of the harm of the CDC’s absolutely sinister Darwinism approach to raising skepticism of vaccines. www.cidrap.umn.edu/pertussis/th...

Hmm- Don jr. & RFK jr are big drug users, but their kids have access to great care. It’s the poor kids that will die. The rich kids of infected will get the liver transplant. The estates of the RFK jr & the Trump family should be confiscated to care for the kids.

When Trump is gone, Bondi & the rest need to be tried for their failure to follow the constitution- they took an oath! Next it’s time for a real FCC to look at Fox News, OANN, & ClearChannel & the rest of these propaganda machines that have destroyed the fabric of civil American Society.

All children injured by this panel’s recommendations should be compensated by the estates of this panel. There needs to be accountability for these horrible decisions. Prison for RFKjr & the rest of the panel also should be on the table.

American fury? Most Americans want Musk & Thiel stripped of their assets & deported.

www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikT... Trump’s bruises explained! Trump could be possibly be getting a monthly infusion of a drug to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s- both of his parents had Alzheimer’s. A TIA, or stroke can be a side effect of the drug- it explains Trump’s disappearances.

Maybe kids born with Hep B that gave liver disease can sue RFKjr & Cheryl Hines for compensation. Maybe, Olivia Nuzzi will give all of her book proceeds from American Canto to those people RFK jr harmed.

As I dream of the future (hang in there with me), I suspect that Trump will have the same lawless approach to life (assuming he is alive) and thus, after his 2nd term, he will do enough bad stuff that a REAL PRESIDENT and staff will fill charges, prosecute and shut him down. He cannot help himself.

MS NOW Exclusive: FBI Director Kash Patel has — on more than one occasion — ordered that the security detail protecting his girlfriend escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville, according to three people with knowledge of the incidents.

@timmiller.bsky.social thanks for your interview with Olivia Nuzzi. You were kind, but firm. She was evasive & slippery. I don’t think she’s fully understood her part in RFK & Trump’s rise. Maybe, in 30 years she’ll tell real truth. Good job Tim. She’s a mess; she needs to figure out why.

It's officially #SpotifyWrapped season, so we're flipping the script by unwrapping Spotify. Tell them to drop ICE ads now! Since Spotify won’t protect immigrant communities, we’re using their own celebration to hold them accountable. Cancel your subscription to get them to pull the plug on ICE

LEAK🚨: Pete Hegseth’s #SpotifyWrapped just leaked on Signal. 😅😂🤣

What #spotifywrapped tells me is people either haven't listened or have just chosen to ignore the facts artists who were essential to the platform are underpaid, the CEO invests in AI war machines, the submitted content is used to train LLMs, and they ran adverts for ICE the modern day brownshirts.

🚫 #spotifywrapped 🚫 #boycottspotify

It’s clear that many reps are in it for themselves. Crooked Issa keeps running from easy district to easy uncontested district. He doesn’t serve his voters- he serves himself! This crook backs down, if there is a real fight! Issa is going to Texas because back woods Texas is already zombie land🤣

Finally DeWine shows he has De Spine & maybe a heart? His kids are rich enough that they don’t have to work to put food on the table, or give up their education. Who sponsored this legislation? Find them!

Oh please! Go to your library, & fill in the information that you’ve been missing. It’s easier to just suck in the garbage from Fox & the billionaires, but maybe you want to take off your blinders, or you too will end up like Boxer, broken & on your way to the knacker. Blocking to keep skies Blue!

Those who have experienced food insecurity due to SNAP lapses from the Trump/Vance shutdown probably aren't worrying about eating too much. It's like our vice president isn't aware of the issues his administration is creating or the economy they're tanking.

Sad, sorry tropes might work better on X. Most people here are not interested in seeing trash that lacks any thought. Why not head to your library & find out what’s really happening when you turned your mind off & let Trump & his billionaire cronies think for you? Keeping skies blue- bye & blocking.

Ummmmmmmm UMMMMMMMMMMM

Bluesky doesn’t force Vance on any one’s feed like X! You belong on X! I suggest you add some info from AP or neutral outlets, if you’re an actual person. Meanwhile, most Bluesky users like actual dialogue with well informed people- so blocking to keep skies Blue!

I wish Bluesky had a place of origin feature for accounts. This account might be another account from another country. The picture looks so phony😂 still blocking the pollution to keep skies blue!

Trump pardoned BILLION dollar drug lord, Ross Ulbricht on his first day in office! Ross was sentenced to LIFE in prison! Now Trump releases Former Honduran cocaine king from prison! Meanwhile he attacks fisherman that might have drugs🤣

Another MAGA troll from X. I’m sorry that Trump was Besties with Epstein & now it’s coming out that Trump knew about the underage girls; he hired a nude underage girl in body paint to promote his Vodka. Another reason he is keeping the Epstein files closed! Time to block & keep skies Blue!

THIS !! (Ulbricht must have had an "in" thru DJTjr )

Add Ross Ulbricht! Founder of Silk Road- he sold over a billion in hard drugs & was sentenced to life in prison. Trump pardoned him on his first day!

Add Ross Ulbricht! Founder of Silk Road- he sold over a billion in hard drugs & was sentenced to life in prison. Trump pardoned him on his first day!

He also pardoned Ross Ulbricht- a billion dollar drug dealer sentenced to life in prison. How many more Rosses did he pardon?

He has cashed out! Why not investigate how a billion dollar hard drug dealer, in jail for life was pardoned? Ross Ulbricht’s Silk Road used crypto currency to pay for drugs. Ross probably paid Trump millions in crypto to get out of jail. @wsj.com

Add his pardon for billion dollar hard drug dealer Ross Ulbricht! Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison, and Trump pardoned him on his first day in office. Follow the crypto… I’m sure Ulbricht paid millions for his pardon.

California, and the country, cannot await the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required.

Margaret Sullivan discusses the abysmal ethics of NYT's Epstein coverage, including the paper's radio silence following disclosure of the fact that its lead Epstein correspondent was seeking money from Epstein. The corruption goes far in explaining NYT's editorially deranged Epstein coverage.
