Trump and Republicans know that their agenda is unpopular, whether it's foreign policy, tariffs, or their failure to address the affordability crisis. So now they're resorting to the oldest of rightwing tropes — accusing a rising generation of new, people-powered Democrats of being communists.

When asked whether he would run the Department of Justice independently of Trump, Todd Blanche has said several times now that as a member of the Cabinet, he would serve at the president's pleasure, which is about as close to "lol no of course not" as it gets

Simply knowing how poverty impacts cognition can help everyday people make wiser decisions or avoid making important decisions during times of scarcity. Here's why that matters. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psyc...

A reminder for Todd Blanche and any U.S. Senator who thinks he’s fit to serve as Attorney General.

Justice for Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Justice for all of those targeted and killed by Trump’s militarized immigration forces. Abolish ICE.

Trump is reducing the size of two national monuments in Utah by 90% to open up the land for mining. He’s building a border wall through Big Bend park in Texas. And he’s gutted the NPS budget, throwing all our national parks into disrepair. Is there anything he won’t sell out?

The strangest part of today's Elena Kagan-Amy Coney Barrett double feature on Capitol Hill was how hard they worked to convey the seriousness of the threats to justices, but without mentioning that, you know, Trump is calling them spineless RINO cucks anytime they don't do exactly what he wants

The Supreme Court DOES want more money but does NOT want to answer any questions about its actual work

Todd Blanche is a dangerous, lawless Trump sycophant. Call your Senator today and tell them to REJECT his nomination for Attorney General. (202) 224-3121

Other than McConnell, no senator did more to build the Supreme Court's six-justice conservative supermajority than Lindsey Graham. He saved Kavanaugh when many Republicans (even Trump) were ready to give up, and his flip-flop on election-year confirmations got Barrett over the finish line, too.

In a loving relationship, honesty is the best policy, research shows, just maybe not all the time. In situations like these, a lie may almost be necessary.

Legit laughed out loud at Elena Kagan, while testifying that Supreme Court justices need more security, referring obliquely to lessons learned from "events at the Capitol." Gee I wonder what she could be talking about.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now? A cyclosporiasis outbreak has sickened thousands across 34 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Trump says the Senate should pass the Clarity Act, which fails to ban the President or administration officials from profiting off crypto, to "honor Lindsey Graham." Remember that Trump earned over $1B from his crypto grifts last year. Who's really being honored here?

I rewatched Lindsey Graham's screaming meltdown during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings for this, and man, there's no way to overstate how vile Kavanaugh is throughout. Sneering, combative, contemptuous of the idea that anyone would hold him accountable. A Republican hack to his core.

I’ll write more later, but this is the defining Lindsey Graham moment for me. Screaming into a mic to defend a Republican Supreme Court nominee against allegations of sexual assault, all in the hopes that Mister Trump would watch on TV and tweet something nice about him. That’s Graham’s legacy.

Trump approved disaster aid requests from six red states last week. Two days later, he rejected aid requests from four blue states. Not only is he punishing states who didn’t vote for him, he’s playing politics with people’s lives. Despicable.

Todd Blanche's confirmation should be delayed until he releases Epstein Files. Please pass it on.

This statement alone is cause to remove the POTUS. The President swears to uphold our Constitution. An honest & strong Congress would have removed him when he said “l don’t know”.

apnews.com/article/memp... Tyrin Johnson. Say his name. He was shot by the National Guard. According to Posse Comitatus, they are not allowed to act as police. Another law broken.

On Thursday, the Trump regime forced out the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — effectively ending it. You need to see this as part of Trump’s overall strategy to take over the midterm elections some 90 days from now. Here's what we can do about it.

For mental health professionals who understand the consequences of caregiver loss, attachment disruption, and intergenerational trauma, this reality demands more than moral outrage. It raises an urgent question: What can we do? https://ow.ly/qgxY50Zmqlv

In dysfunctional families, the scapegoat is typically blamed for recognizing and calling out truths that others deny. It's a painful place to be, but also a reflection of some important strengths. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/conq...

Build child care centers. Build health centers. Build community centers. Not data centers. And not ICE detention centers.

The Trump regime is gutting protections for workers' 401(k) plans and opening them up to risky investments like crypto and private equity. The crony leading this charge even ran a company that defended employers from worker lawsuits. Utterly shameless greed.

Bad news for multitasking fans: Human brains cannot actually engage in two cognitive tasks at once. Here are the single-tasking techniques that productivity experts recommend instead. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/deci...

Next time you hear about a sportsbook’s commitment to responsible gaming I encourage you to remember FanDuel sending a user who was down $1.5 MILLION a fun little thank-you clip of Bryce Harper wishing the guy an “extra special Thanksgiving.”

Federal immigration agents who killed a man during a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday had been searching for a different person, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman.

Telling someone who's struggling, "Don't worry" or "You'll be fine," doesn't give them comfort. It's more likely to be taken as a rejection. Here's how to build connection instead of distance. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rela...

Less than four months after being found liable for building addictive design elements into Instagram, Meta is developing plans to lace its platforms with a novel gambling feature: a prediction market that could feed users an individualized stream of events to bet on.

Young men may be especially vulnerable to increasingly algorithmically shaped digital environments that amplify social comparison, reinforce appearance-focused ideals, and intensify loneliness or alienation. https://ow.ly/ec9A50ZjqbA

Trump's DOT is planning to roll back a requirement that airlines display total ticket prices more prominently in their advertising. It's an Obama-era rule started in response to complaints from flyers that they felt deceived when buying tickets. Yet another way Trump is making flying even worse.

Storm the Capitol, plead guilty, get divorced over it, then whine that dates go south when you bring it up. John, this isn’t a sob story…it’s just consequences. No sympathy here. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AXWGVzDknQWK...

Who would have thought cancelling hundreds of solar and wind projects would reduce energy sources and raise prices? Every move Don the Con makes cost you more money for nothing.

Mitch McConnell going out doing what he loves most: exploiting gray areas in obscure legal processes in order to give the Republian Party some sort of slight advantage

Terminal lucidity—brief, unexpected returns of clarity shortly before death—challenges our notions of human cognition. But new research may finally deliver explanations for the phenomenon. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cons...

Here’s a crazy idea: if a corporation wants to build a data center, they should also be required to construct renewable resource mechanisms to operate it—not funded by the public, but from the mountains of wealth they already possess.

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

Definite Communist.

The CEO of Exelon, the largest utility in the US, says Americans could face major nationwide blackouts next year due to an energy supply shortfall and rise in data centers which are putting a strain on the energy grid. This is what happens when you give fascists full power.

Call me crazy, but we should have the right to know if all sitting senators are at least alive.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court ion Tuesday struck down parts of Florida’s Stop WOKE Act, calling it a “breathtaking assertion of power” that unconstitutionally censors what state university and college professors can discuss with their students about race, sex and other forms of bias.

I'm struck by the irony of Trump going to bat for Balogun days Stephen Miller warned that birthright citizenship = civilization suicide.

Trump interfered in the World Cup and made it all about himself. We should be celebrating the the U.S. team’s success, but now everything sadly has a cloud over it. It’s unfortunate for the players, the fans, and the country. Some thoughts...
