“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

Shutting Democrats out of a national security briefing and withholding the legal justification of the Venezuelan boat strikes from half the Senate is indefensible. This White House is eroding our national security.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

Before I get another email from Dems asking for a donation, show me your teeth in this fight or don't bother.

What the actual fuck is it going to take to stop his divisive insanity?

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

Remembering all the discussions I had with @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social about there being no legal mechanism to declare a domestic group a terror organization when folks were asking why we hadn’t designated the Proud Boys a terror group.

It only took 538 days.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Trump wants us to talk about Jimmy Kimmel. So we'll talk about Trump & Jeffrey Epstein. youtu.be/nAHLpcIEjyw?...

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Jimmy Kimmel should join the MeidasTouch Network open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Now that’s a good idea. ☀️

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy could miss multiple games due to a toe injury he suffered in the season opener, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday.

Dogs exposed to COVID-positive people show increased risk of infection. A surveillance survey published in Virus Research shows an almost 70% increased prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in pet dogs exposed in their homes, pointing to notable household transmission risks to animals.

Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.

Good day to remind people that we wouldn't have this Supreme Court if it weren't for Mitch McConnell deciding that no Justices can be considered during an election year and then deciding that Justices can be confirmed one month before an election. McConnell's evil directly enabled Tr*mp's evil.
