One-third of American museums have lost government grants or contracts since Trump took office, according to a new survey by the American Alliance of Museums. This is all part of a larger plan by Trump — one where he can control not just what we do, but what we think.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.

Fetterman on Morning Joe: "I know both of you have been punished to have conversations, ongoing dialogue with President Trump. I got hit just to have dinner with him after he invited me to have that conversation. Pennsylvania keeps people honest."

Success! Good morning Bluesky

Rep. Ro Khanna tells @Lawrence that he, Thomas Massie, and MTG will hold a news conference next Tuesday with survivors of Epstein's abuse.

NEWS: The White House is frozen as more bombshell Epstein documents come to light. Trump isn't posting on social media and won't answer questions. I spent hours going through them and will continue to do so throughout the day. The public deserves to see all of this.

Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

Time for the President to #resign. Now!

He should be that Donald formally known as president. In a just world,Trump would have resigned by now. Still waiting for an elected official to call on him to step down www.youtube.com/live/cOIROqI...

"Shortly after midnight...300 agents...stormed the 130-unit apartment complex. SWAT teams rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades." Agents zip-tied and detained US citizens for hours. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

"For the perpetrator, rape lasts just a matter of minutes. For the victim, it never stops." Fredrik Backman, Beartown

As a former child abuse prosecutor, I'm disgusted at the original prosecutors in the Epstein case. Im disgusted by the continued cover up. And of course the only Republican defections asking for a vote are women.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Based on the emails released today and what’s yet to come, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Johnson sends the House back on vacation until the end of time.

"There is a lot more." Rep. Garcia shares the DOJ is hoarding files from federal Epstein investigations. "Photographs, possibly videos, they have information we need to actually bring justice to the survivors and to implicate the wealthy and powerful men that abused and raped children and women."

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

THIS!

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

While visiting my wife in her memory care unit, a non-dementia resident told me about being in a family of 18 kids. 7 of the men went to the military, 2 Army and 2 Navy, all four in WW II. Their father was in the service also.

It’s called the Boondoggle Ranch, FFS. for a sentient person that would be an important clue that this was a terrible idea.

"We need a new iteration of a Democratic Party that doesn't take just these symbolic wins where we thrust issues into the spotlight. Frankly that's that's not enough for me anymore. And it's not enough for the country anymore... We need tangible wins. And we need folks to go to the mat to get them."

Just for today I will live in the present and be happy.

The UK who is one of our closest allies has just cut off ALL intelligence sharing with the U.S. because of their illegal strikes on what the U.S. is calling the Caribbean drug trafficking boats" Trump & the GOP are opening us up to attacks

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

What in the flying fuck does patriotism have to do with working around the clock without pay to appease a bunch of asshole billionaires hellbent on robbing this country blind?

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Breaking: A Utah judge just tossed out Republicans’ gerrymandered map and ordered a new map that will include a new safe Democratic seat. Utah now joins California in helping to cancel out Trump’s gerrymandering.

I doubt many of you have ever heard of Dr. Jonathan Letterman. All he did was revolutionize military medicine with ideas that are used all over the world today. Very nice exhibit of him at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, MD. share.google/fv9hxbXo3MJr...
