BREAKING: For the 11th time, Republicans have blocked Democrats from paying TSA. Republicans have been given ELEVEN chances to send TSA agents their paychecks, but they refuse.

What can we do to fight back? How about nothing, once a week. Don’t grease the wheels of fascism every Wednesday. A rolling boycott of all things Trump and his oligarch pals. NoPayHumpDay.org

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

“I have reports from our intelligence services showing that Russia is doing this and saying: 'I will not pass on intelligence to Iran if America stops passing intelligence to Ukraine.' Isn't that blackmail? Absolutely,” Zelensky told Reuters.

❗️❗️ Russia sought to blackmail the United States by offering to stop sharing military intelligence with Iran if Washington cut off Ukraine from its intelligence, Zelensky said, - Reuters

Good afternoon. This is your daily reminder that Trump just lifted sanctions on Iran to give them $14 BILLION to hep fund their war against us. In other words, your daily reminder that this is probably the dumbest war of all time.

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner to ICE agents at Philadelphia’s International Airport. “I will put you in handcuffs, put you in a courtroom, and I will put you in a jail if you make this airport anything like what you did in the streets of Minneapolis." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Europeans are not doing enough for Ukraine

"Activist who pushed 2020 election fraud claims convicted of election fraud" This headline says everything you need to know about where the real threats to elections lie: with the people like President Trump who are pushing debunked claims of fraud.

The lawsuit challenging the categorical withholding of all evidence from a state for a criminal investigation is unprecedented in American history. A sovereign state is suing for evidence regarding the deaths of two of its residents and the shooting of another by federal agents.

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

Jury finds Instagram and YouTube liable in landmark social media addiction trial

History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. "Don't fuck up and vote for the rapey dipshit. Go with the competent woman." This is what Democratic voters (including me) were arguing in 2016...the fact that we still have to advance this argument in 2026 is telling about the state of the US.

Christian nationalist pastor Jackson Lahmeyer announced that he is running for Congress in Oklahoma because "President Trump needs a few more bold, America First fighters in Washington, DC to help move his agenda forward."

--Expanded Medicaid to ~100,000 Mainers --Expanded reproductive rights --Codified ACA protections for coverage of pre-existing conditions at the state level --Established Maine's state-based ACA exchange to save money ...and a whole bunch more.

FWIW, here's what @janetmillsforme.bsky.social has actually ACCOMPLISHED on improving healthcare for Maine residents while Governor: www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Ummm…the pharmaceutical industry isn’t the primary reason hospitals are closing beyond a general, vague sort of “they’re greedy & part of the problem of spiraling healthcare costs” sort of way. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

No idea if it’s true but it seems extremely likely.

For others who may not see it, this thread from health expert Charles Gaba explains why. bsky.app/profile/char...

The grift will not stop til he and the entire bloody lot of grifters are extracted, then banned from ever holding a governmental position again. This once great nation has never witnessed an entire admin with such brazen corruption & utter incompetence. They all must be held to account.

Transportation lobbyists have donated thousands to Sean Duffy’s son-in-law as he runs for Congress Industry money has been pouring into the congressional campaign of Michael Alfonso, a 26-year-old political unknown from Wisconsin.

"Most jarring is Bradley County Constable District 7 in Tennessee: a single officer received a base award of $107,525, followed by a $11,500 salary bump — and now a further modification appears to add $1,820,550 in new funding for that one cop." www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

As war reshapes the Gulf, the satellite infrastructure the world relies on to see conflict clearly is being delayed, spoofed, and privately controlled—and nobody is sure who is responsible. www.wired.com/story/when-s...

So, why didn't Platner blast Collins for voting for OBBBA or against extending the ACA tax credits? Because she voted against the former & for the latter. Of course she only did both in order to save her skin & because her vote wasn't needed in either case for the GOP's desired outcome, but still.

The New York Times writes this whole story about this without mentioning that Trump billionaire donor Larry Ellison owns the CBS Sports rights to the Army Navy game, which is being threatened by competing broadcasts owned by ESPN/ABC/Disney.

Plus Xitter, Facebook/Meta, Threads, TikTok, Threads, the moderator takeover on Reddit, basically everything but BlueSky… But people still think the *Democrats* are just choosing not to get the message out instead of it’s actively being suppressed.

Like usually with glass cliffs the idea is you've already realized that the brakes have failed and you're headed over the edge. In this case they hired Bari very specifically because they wanted someone who would keep a foot on the gas

Also kind of an unusual glass cliff situation though because the fascists really wanted any semblance of fair reporting driven into the abyss as quickly as possible

June: 5M. October: 7M. This Saturday? Minneapolis leads 3,000+ protests nationwide — and that’s AFTER everything that’s happened since. The movement keeps growing. Show up and make it 12million on March 28th. #NoKings2026 #USDemocracy #MomSky ❌👑

❗️Cars burned to the ground: RBC-Ukraine shows the consequences of a drone attack on Kharkiv In the footage, in addition to burnt-out cars, you can also see the remains of enemy UAVs that terrorized the city in broad daylight.

My 3yo was reading The Free Press when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, why won't the media show support for the nice orange man's war with Iran?" And when I told him, "they want to, but they've been silenced by the woke mob at Oberlin and Brown," he started crying.

I was speaking to over 200 rural Democrats last Saturday when I asked the women in the audience to raise their hand if they already possessed a passport. Most raised their hand. I have a feeling that the SAVE Act, if passed, will disenfranchise Trump voters more than Democratic voters.

This is one reason why I call school vouchers education’s predatory lending. Most parents hate standardized tests. But for at-risk families, tests at least offer some guardrails. Otherwise, parents are left on their own to sort out private school claims—and many are sub-prime

The city of Ontario, California, rejected a ballot measure yesterday that'd have increased the minimum wage for hospitality workers. (This was in my March guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...)

Secretary of State Little Marco will travel to France this week to try to sell america's skeptical Group of Seven allies on the Iran war that has sent global fuel prices soaring. May you fail miserably, you disgusting pedophile protector.

Who could have seen this coming? If religious actors can exempt themselves from neutral laws, then accountability disappears. Abuse gets reframed as protected conduct. Victims get sidelined. This is where the Court’s distortion of “religious freedom” leads.
