NEWS: Judge Amit Mehta rules Trump is NOT immune for key Jan. 6 conduct—including his Ellipse rally speech, outreach to officials, and related actions—finding they can be treated as campaign activity, not presidential duties. 1/

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

We use it. If they ban vote by mail? We turn out in record numbers and vote in person. If they pass the save act? We read the law to the letter, make sure we’re in compliance, and vote in record numbers. Basically, when someone is trying to suppress your vote, you give them the opposite effect.

Is it a good sign or a bad sign for a president when a popular sports figure is denouncing your immigration policies on a widely watched March Madness broadcast?

I did not know about this kind of insidious pricing. Thank you for highlighting it!

Far-right tech oligarchs have the most pathetic ideology. They hate minorities, except when they are coding for them. They want no taxes, no rules, and absolutely no democracy. There is no grand vision for society, just raw greed and a relentless pursuit of personal interests

No Kings is worth attending for the entertaining signs.

Still time for Congress to reassert its powers and stop a an entirely predictable disaster...but they are on recess

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

I share the concern of far smarter people than I am. I’m a retired fed who grieves for the troubles of TSA agents. But, yet again, we’re watching a president strip constitutional duties from Congress because he can’t do the hard work of negotiating a solution.

It should make Republicans *very* nervous to compare the listless unattendance of conservatives at CPAC this week with the enthusiastic, overwhelming attendance of liberals at #NoKings events a day later.

This is the FCC Chairman, who is ostensibly a non-partisan industry regulator, openly bragging about conducting a political purge of the media.

Paramount-Warner merger isn't just a threat to the press It means higher prices Fewer choices Layoffs for working people Basic economics & basic authoritarianism This week's note on @@contrariannews.org breaks down why this deal is bad for America — on every level -TN

Mike Johnson refusing to let Trump walk away from the shutdown and instead highlighting the constitutional crisis by the President unilaterally deciding when and where to pay federal employees is funny.

I’m capable of holding two thoughts at once - relief for the TSA agents caught in an untenable situation they didn’t create. But also great concern that, rather than doing the hard work of Constitutional processes, the President has stolen more power from the Congress. Congress, what say you?

😡😡😡😡

Trump's DOJ Gives Mike Flynn a $1 Million Payout of Taxpayer Money! youtu.be/epGfwQNNQCc?...

FELLOW AUTHORS: the deadline to file a claim in the Anthropic settlement for stealing all our work is MONDAY. The settlement provides for $3000 per work. GO GET YOUR MONEY. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/claim-form

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

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

Judge Tanya Chutkan’s face is gonna be on money someday.

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

Free speech is when Republicans can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

ZERO Republican Senators voted to fund TSA. This is the seventh time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA. Seven. Times. They would rather hold TSA hostage to try to force billions more for an unrestrained, out of control ICE. Despicable.

Live the kind of life that makes people like Donald Trump welcome your death.

When you lose Fox “news” …

Three major new studies on democracy and freedom all find the U.S. is slipping further away from democracy. Leaders of two of those studies say President Trump's goal is to rule as an autocrat. n.pr/4uG99Am

What could go wrong?

Remember that time Trump mused about using nuclear weapons while being host to the Prime Minister of Japan the only country to suffer atomic bomb attacks and we were the ones who used them on it and also he taunted a Japanese journalist about Pearl Harbor and that was all today? Fun times.

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

HUGE: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.

In the PAST 50 years, Democrats have held the White House for 24 of those 50 years. And Republicans have held the White House for 26 of those 50 years. If the SAVE Act were at all legit, WHY would Trump expect his party to not lose an election in the NEXT 50 years?

🤔

Heart-wrenching depiction of the human toll of Trump's illegal, unnecessary war on a whim.

on the jim crow travesty that is the SAVE act (gift link)

oh look at that www.pew.org/en/research-...

For Business Insider, I read three books about Palantir and wrote about how "Palantirianism" -- unabashed nationalism, tech building up the US security state, ready to commit violence on behalf of the US and our allies -- is ascendant in Silicon Valley. www.businessinsider.com/palantir-gui...

Once again, if the billionaire tech bros were actually *trying* to get us all to drag them out of their mansions to beat them to death with hammers, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.

“Apparently I’m an idiot.” Woman at Pennsylvania gas station who voted for Trump rips into him, calls him “a worthless pile of sh*t”.

41 people have died in ICE detention since the start of the second Trump administration. 12 of those deaths have occurred since January 1, 2026, roughly one every six days. Adam Sawyer and I mapped every death. Here's what the data shows. 🧵

Zambia needs medicine from the US to control AIDS-or thousands of its citizens could die And Marco Rubio won’t give it to them unless they exchange access to mineral rights The Trump administration is holding people’s lives hostage to cut a deal Depravity beyond anything you could ever imagine

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

We need to end prediction markets for government action. NOW. This bone chilling story about a reporter’s life threatened bc he simply reported on Iran missile strikes: “After you make us lose $900,000 we will invest no less than that to finish you.”

He was an Afghan immigrant who fought alongside our troops and awaited asylum while living in Dallas. ICE grabbed him on Friday. He died less than 24 hours later at age 41: www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
