As @whitehouse.senate.gov so expertly points out, the problem* when you have an inexperienced and/or inept lawyer, with no or no significant prosecutorial experience, prosecuting in federal court, is that they usually shoot themselves in the foot. (*or delight) youtube.com/shorts/gBNa7...

House Republicans on month-long vaca; Trump jetting out of country; no pulse from Senate Republicans; and here comes the 30% healthcare increase mostly on THEIR constituents. Help us help you, dudes.

Interesting word—new to me:

Another great sign at the New Orleans No Kings 2 today: (Perfect weather—overcast to keep the temperature down, breezy, no rain!)

I have always loved @propublica.org's mission statement. It speaks to method as much as mission, and does not shrink from describling their journalism as a moral undertaking. www.propublica.org/about/

NOW they’re concerned??

Lest we forget.

“[S]he recalls as a teenager asking her grandmother: ‘Why do they think just because I’m Black I’m going to steal from them?’ Her grandmother replied: ‘Guard your spirit, Ketanji. To dwell on the unfairness of life is to be devoured by it.’” Such wise words.

Just saw a dude in a diner wearing a Smokey Bear shirt that said "Only you can prevent SOCIALISM" and my brother in Christ, how do I tell you that Smokey is a government-owned, government-created entity

Confirms, again, that the Republican agenda, for the last 30 years has been to decimate public education. It’s escalated since Trump I - exponentially.

WATCH: Gov. Bill Lee’s private school voucher scam is welfare for the wealthy. Lee tells WKRN his only *wish* is to give more of our public dollars to private schools. www.wkrn.com/news/tenness...

Seems to me there’s escalating evidence for a massive class action lawsuit against ICE for systemic 4th Amendment violations. Searching an entire apartment building, zip tying children, and detaining citizens 100% constitutes unreasonable searches and seizures. One example of many.

“Asked about the NFL choosing Bad Bunny, Noem said: “Well, they suck, and we’ll win, and God will bless us, and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day, and they won’t be able to sleep at night, because they don’t know what they believe, and they’re so weak, we’ll fix it.”

Regardless of Government shutdown, this is news?? Just more of the same… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

OK, perhaps a bit overstated—their brand doesn’t exactly stand for freedom of speech—but everything else is accurate.

I just cancelled my subscription to Disney+. When asked, why are you cancelling?, I wrote the below message.

I get that there are probably things the government can (and should) withhold from some plaintiffs and the public. But the *fact* that the government filed something in court should not be a secret (“no notice to the plaintiffs”).

“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

Regret. WHERE IS KRISTI NOEM? These were her officers and agents. The South Koreans were detained by DHS - not the State Dept. Why is she being shielded from accountability for her Department’s irresponsible raid?

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

The youngest chair in the history of the Federal Trade Commission is campaigning for Zohran Mamdani and defending her brand of populism.

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

MICHIGAN senate candidate DR. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “Medicare for All is not a government takeover of healthcare. Medicare for All is the government freeing the healthcare market to actually operate in fair ways.”

God I wish I were a health care worker. They don’t need (or probably want) lawyers. Sigh. Breath of fresh air. youtube.com/shorts/9iI-v...

Here are the eight disciplines. TRAM-Bowling is funny but I think my favorite is TRAM-Curling.

"More than anyone else without the surname Trump, Kirk is the figure whose rise best illustrates the changing of the American right." NEW from @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/why-charli...

Jerome Adams, who served as US surgeon general during President Donald Trump’s first administration, is calling for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be fired as controversy continues to swirl over his handling of vaccine approvals. https://cnn.it/47s9lKt

T* has wandered into a dark closet of fiction where he makes up about 75% of his achievements, problems, successes and agenda out of whole cloth. Even when he's not fantasizing, it's hard to understand what he's talking about. But yea, Biden was old.

The beginnings of Christian nationalism date back decades. This is how the movement has evolved since the 1970s — and how it has become a powerful force in American politics today. By @phoebepetrovic.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)

He’s such a toady. Seems Landry is trying to gin up support for this outrageous move. Let’s see if we hear from others in his “cabinet”. But where is the City Council in all this? (I know the Mayor is just plain absent.)

He has a unique opportunity to charge masked men under a Louisiana law that bans masking for the purpose of concealing one's identify — except for Mardi Gras.
