Friends!!! You know how obsessed I have become with Common Sense. Tom Paine published that pamphlet 250 years ago this January. I published an essay about it TODAY, in the New York Times. Common Sense remains relevant as ever. I hope you enjoy it. Gift article ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

We believe the U.S. media are not doing enough to bring attention to the Trump regime's attack on Democracy in the USA. We have added a tracker to the Crust News website of each event that has been flagged by experts as a risk to democracy.

Exactly. Everyone knows it's far worse than Obama's deal.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Republicans won’t admit it, but they’re in serious trouble in November. They’ve really shot themselves in the foot by keeping a demented President in power MUCH TOO LONG! What I don’t get is why they don’t cut their losses now while they still can? Are they that afraid of him? That’s PATHETIC. 🤷‍♀️☮️💙💔

Tuesday’s primaries were a major test for Mamdani and his political clout, a year after the 34-year-old upstart democratic socialist pulled off a successful campaign to defeat former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Daryl Hall updates health status following kidney transplant

This is what Tuberville says because he has no plan to lower grocery prices for Alabama, just another imaginary enemy.

The anniversary of Dobbs is a moment for reflection — but it's also a call to action. We cannot take any right for granted, nor assume progress is permanent. While lawmakers elsewhere seek to roll back rights, Illinois will protect our people.

The man pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists in one fell swoop and nobody did anything He started a war with one nation and kidnapped the leader of another and nobody did anything He literally tore down a third of the White House and nobody did anything What else will our leaders do nothing about?

NEW: People are sick of AI. “According to new research from The Harris Poll, 4As, and Infillion, more than 2/3 of global consumers view AI as largely a “marketing ploy”—one that could nonetheless make them think less of the companies loudly touting it.” www.marketingbrew.com/stories/harr...

Donald Trump is holding up bipartisan legislation to lower your housing costs because he wants to take your ability to vote away. He’s a tyrant – and Republicans shouldn’t let him get away with it.

The Supreme Court overturned abortion rights four years ago today. Hillary warned us. And if men truly supported women, we'd still be talking about Kamala's landslide victory.

Stephen Miller was reportedly the driving force behind the DOJ's recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care

Reminder: Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Department of Justice was legally required to make the files public by December 19, 2025—which was 187 days ago. That is 187 days of ignoring the law.

There are more stars in our galaxy than humans who have ever lived.

Well this should scare the shit out of everyone, 6 weeks ago the justice department adopted a new policy to allow the attorney general the power to send any federal prisoner to any federal prison in the country. Listen to Liz Oyer former pardon attorney for the DOJ explain.👇👇

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Democratic Socialism is not incompatible with capitalism—Democratic Socialist countries like those in Scandinavia are all capitalist economies.

Check this out. AI data centers could end up tilting the midterms. Voters are paying attention. Some have already switched political parties over this issue, and more are asking who’s putting Big Tech ahead of their communities. Candidates ignore this at their own risk.

Sounds like communism

He’s a narcissist who will never accept blame for his failures…..

A ship full of solar panels only has to make the trip once. It arrives, gets installed, and generates electricity for the next 20 years. A ship full of liquefied natural gas? It has to make the trip EVERY YEAR to generate the same amount of electricity over those 20 years. The choice is clear.

This is accountability. #DIVEST from Fascism. The City of Jersey City has announced they will divest from Citizens Bank over them providing $2.5 billion towards U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention financing, officials said on Wednesday. hudsoncountyview.com/jersey-city-...

Another ridiculous capture claim by the Russian Ministry of Defense. No, Ivolzhanske is not under Russian control. The LOC is over 7 km to the north in Oleksivka.

Trump is actually out here whining that a "radical left lunatic" who loves Hillary and Biden ruined a pool that is "like a piece of glass." Imagine being so utterly broken by your past political rivals that you think a fountain issue is a DNC operative hit job. Seek help

Freedom is not free (of viruses)

Trump. Is. A. Criminal. Organization. 😎✨

Good, fuck him, and also, he's still "worth" roughly $900 billion too much by my estimate, which, to be clear, would still make him richer than God www.bbc.com/news/article...

In case some of the “talking heads” are missing it, this is the magnetic north of the Dem party: 1) get money out of politics 2) get America out of forever wars 3) stop using our money and political power to abet genocide 4) Medicare for all 5) tax the rich and corporations 6) regulate AI

Folks on the right who scream “communists” at every turn about the Democratic Party but happily embrace an authoritarian/fascist Republican Party should not be taken seriously.

Today marks the 4 yr death anniversary of Roe vs Wade (2022) Some stats 1. 13 states have full abortion bans 2. OBGYNs have left some states 3. Texas mortality rates rose 56%. And, abortions have INCREASED. In short- Abortion bans don't stop abortions, they invite health risks for women.

South Dakota’s No. 2 GOP Sen. Tom Pischke faces 2 felony charges tied to party positions. He forged 16 documents; 13 people filed affidavits saying signatures were forged. The state GOP chair said he will step away from party duties, calling it a bad look. www.argusleader.com/story/news/p...
