"She is adamant that this is still our country and we should still be fighting for it." @timmiller.bsky.social joins @nicollewallace.bsky.social after his interview with former VP @kamalaharris.com to discuss why her optimistic, forward-looking message matters after such a brutal campaign season.

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

Trump does not trump the Constitution. While he threatens the rule of law, takes health care away from Americans, and raises costs, we need to focus on fighting back in the Courts, in Congress, and at the ballot box.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve. No contract? NO COFFEE!

The anti-vaccination movement is largely to blame for the continuing measles outbreak and the fact that the U.S. is going to lose our measles elimination status. Until RFK Jr. is removed from office, things are only going to get worse. @jimalwine.bsky.social and I wrote about here:

…and then he pardoned them…and hired some.

Lindsey Halligan should be immediately disbarred.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

We need to give Ukraine maximum support. That’s the only way to get Putin to the negotiating table.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)

I remember a time (not too long ago) that we had the collective moral decency to agree, that if a politician spoke this way to a female reporter, that would be the end of their political career.

I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

The U.S.-born pope has spoken out several times against his native country's treatment of migrants in the U.S. n.pr/4i4exY4

The DOJ investigating Dems in the Epstein files means they will refuse to release those files while an active investigation is taking place. Thus tRump’s flipping on the votes in Congress

MASSIVE BREAKING: The US Senate just agreed to pass the Epstein Transparency Act by a voice vote of unanimous consent. It will now be sent to Trump to sign into law!

Just absurd this person is the top civil rights official in this great nation. An embarrassment.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

Trumpism is cracking open right now.....

🚨BREAKING: A panel of three federal judges ruled to block Texas from using its new racially gerrymandered congressional map in the upcoming 2026 election — dealing a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s national effort to rig the 2026 election by creating more Republican congressional seats.

Admitting is the first step. Well done. #leopardsatemyface #Politics #News

This motherfucker actually said he wasn’t with Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell all of the time. Pictures tell a much different story.

The Vapor Trail of Tears.

Just wait until the Religious Liberty Commission hears about this.

2-1, The Fifth Circuit keeps alive claims that Jackson, MS is liable for effectively poisoning its population with lead in the drinking water. But /1 www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

Are the dozens of survivors with firsthand knowledge of Trump’s possible child rape now in grave danger of being poisoned/suicided/pushed out of a window by Trump/Russia?

🚨BREAKING: Florida lawmakers are set to begin a mid-decade redraw of the state’s congressional map next month — a move that could accelerate a nationwide GOP push to lock in control of the U.S. House before any votes are cast. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"This is the most important book like this since I think All the President's Men," @gtconway.bsky.social says of @carolleonnig.bsky.social and @byaaroncdavis.bsky.social' book Injustice. "The effect that these events in this book had on American history and about Trump's ability to come back."

Of all my posts, this is the one that I wish would be shared widely. I hope people will donate to Bryan's legal defense, but even if you don't, it's important to be aware of the human rights horrors that are going on around us on a daily basis.

"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

The scope of dirty money (terrorists, criminals, sex predators) moving through crypto exchanges is dizzying. And as this article describes, Binance - the company at the heart of Trump's crypto corruption - continues to be one of the worst offenders.

NEW: The Trump administration's brutal removal of so many workers is projected to shrink the nation’s GDP by as much as 6.8% — a deeper hit than the one sustained during the Great Recession. A.J. Schumann:

man good luck hosting a world cup or an olympics, let alone something like a sxsw

If Congress follows Trump's directive to rename the Defense Department, it could cost taxpayers nearly $2B in new signage, letterheads, and digital code. Imagine if we invested that money — and our bloated military budget as well — on the American people instead of the Pentagon.

New Billboard just erected in Times Square:

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst". But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record. It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

"They’re trying to make the loss of life invisible. They’re trying to deny the reality." The reality is a great deal of suffering for no discernible upside. @citizencohn.bsky.social discusses the dismantling of U.S. foreign aid with @agawande.bsky.social in The Breakdown:

BREAKING: Magistrate orders DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to Comey, finding real prospect that "government misconduct" may have tainted the case.

A huge story this morning from Poland as there's been deliberate sabotage on NATO territory. Train tracks were destroyed by an explosion on the logistics route to Ukraine, confirmed by the Polish PM. The list of candidates paying for this is short, beginning with M, ending with Oscow

What is Bannon’s standing with maga now that it’s been revealed how cozy he was with Epstein? Any changes?

The Saudis are meeting with Trump tomorrow. There is a lot they want from the US govt. And they have been enriching Trump and his family over the past several months with one deal after another to make sure they get it. Something tells me they will get what they want.
