“The danger inherent in Palantir’s AI-powered super-database on all Americans is connected to the vast wealth and power of those associated with the corporation, and their apparent disdain for democratic institutions.” By Robert Reich, 6/30/25 … 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we? Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

Wikipedia: On 2 October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident journalist, was killed by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.[4][5] Khashoggi was ambushed and strangled by a 15-member squad of Saudi operatives.[6][7]

There's always a tweet.

Republicans are calling hearings to talk about trans athletes in fencing. Their goal is clear: to make sure Fox has something to talk about other than Elon Musk’s theft and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s insider trading.

Honored to meet with a delegation of parliamentarians from Ukraine to express my undaunted support for their struggle against Putin's bloody, illegal war. From Moscow to Mar-a-Lago, the gangster autocrats will not silence the global fight for democracy and freedom.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

Setmayer: No, you got your chance and I'm going to have mine right now about this for the for the law enforcement officers who lost their careers, who almost lost their lives, who protected those ungrateful bastards…

“Your voice is meaningless right now. ... I can talk over all of you” said the emcee at the GOP event as the woman objecting to Medicaid cuts was dragged out.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

He deserves our respect, and should be allowed to retire on his own terms. He actually deserves his rank and position, if not a higher position!

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Yes👇🏼

There is no way that Trump is approving everything that Musk is doing. Trump has effectively turned over the federal government to an unelected billionaire who spent $250m to get him elected. Make no mistake: Elon Musk owns Donald Trump and is calling the shots.

I'm here.🙋‍♂️

Democrats have come out swinging today. Senator Chris Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system. And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump:

Here's a longer post explaining all of this in a bit more detail: www.stevevladeck.com/p/120-the-im...

Senator Durbin on Kash Patel:

“Now it’s your turn to stand guard - may you all be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith.” 😭

Mace is quickly running out of friends.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

It seems rather hypocritical to say you want to end birthright citizenship when you’re basically allowing someone born in South Africa to be your co-president.

We cannot let a person who has a nematode in his brain, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, and who drove his wife to take her own life, who has sexual assault allegations against him, and a fetish with dead animals – to make *any* kind of health decisions for *anyone*.

I hope the Senate hears this important message.

My God imagine if media had told anyone about this

Tax the churches 👇🏻

Well this aged poorly

Why not start this Bluesky endeavor with a much needed dog pic on this Sunday afternoon? Here is my little love enjoying a much deserved puppuccino. Happy Sunday! #DogsOfBluesky

Oh, look, two men who've never served anyone but themselves have big feelings about taking care of our nation's veterans. FUCK THEM.

We can only hope
