I guess we are just paying these people to fly around making workout videos and attending sporting events.

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical. My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able. You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

This is how screwed up everything is. The DOD shot down a CBP drone which cause the FAA to shut down the airspace around El Paso. We have stupid idiots in all levels of all agencies thanks to this Regime. If we go to war, GOD help us. abcnews.com/US/dept-defe...

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

Resign. Resign. Resign. Have some basic decency: resign. apnews.com/article/mili...

Slapstick governing

Trump: “We don’t want people who can’t love our country voting in elections”

Politicians have no right getting in the way of trans people's freedom to be ourselves and live our lives with dignity.

Wtf

Important new @worldresources.bsky.social research shows that agricultural expansion isn’t only leading to forest loss - it’s leading to loss of grasslands, savannas, & wetlands too. From 2005-20, the 🌎 lost 95 Mha of non-forest natural ecosystems to annual crops, and another 95 Mha to pasture. 1/

Per WIRED - a White House staffer has been ID’ed as running a big Twitter account that called the Obama apes video a “masterpiece” (and his wife works for Karoline Leavitt) www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-...

WE need a full investigation....

Its not just cows. Its crops, too. It all must change. “Farmland, he says, now covers two of every five acres on the planet, “and those are acres that used to be forest and wetlands and savannas that stored a lot of carbon and sheltered a lot of biodiversity.” news.berkeley.edu/2025/05/30/b...

"If you want to know who will ultimately pay in this scenario, just look in the mirror. Even as your home-insurance rates rise, so will your taxes. All of this will drive down property values, especially in the places most at-risk from climate disasters. And that will hurt muni finances even more."

Analysis of crash data shows that you're 17 times more likely to die in a vehicle fire if you buy Elon Musk's Tesla Cyber truck than if you had bought a Ford Pinto, the 1970s era car infamous for gas tank explosions in rear end collisions. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

Surprise, surprise, surprise. This study uses rats exposed to fungicide, but your ‘exposome’ will likely dictate not only your health but the health of your family, through epigenetics changes in germ cells that can remain imprinted for generations. #Science 🧪

30 years. This video should be on every network.

A federal judge in Louisiana could end telehealth access to medication abortion nationwide.    This lawsuit is a blatant attempt to ban abortion. Mifepristone has been safely used for 25 years. It's the most common method of abortion care in America. Women will suffer if access is restricted.

Breaking on MS NOW: @alivitali.bsky.social reports the Hillary Clinton deposition has resumed, but that Clinton is asking press be allowed into the room for the rest of the deposition. Comer said NO — despite Lauren Boebert taking photos of Clinton and giving them to a far-right activist.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

WTF

Millions of workers — including at Walmart, Amazon, & McDonald’s — rely on food stamps, WIC, and Medicaid, because pay doesn’t cover basics. Corporate profits soar while taxpayers pick up the bill. Low wages aren’t just a worker issue — they’re a taxpayer subsidy to big business.

PERFECTLY NORMAL

No wonder Elon is obsessed.

Ew

Trump delivered his State of the Union in the very chamber his MAGA extremists attacked on January 6 to help him overturn an election. And corporate media barely bothered to say it out loud. That erasure — that quiet smoothing-over — is exactly how authoritarianism gets normalized.

These are the words and actions our next leader needs to live by. We can’t keep putting people in office who either don’t care or know how to lead. The entire government is lost.

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable." Full interview: zeteo.com/p/moulton-ic...

May it be so

The Interior Department has rescinded more than 80% of its prior rules under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA, one of the country’s foundational environmental laws, requires federal agencies to conduct detailed reviews of how proposed projects could impact surrounding communities,

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

State of the Union

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month. Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

I can’t believe this is real

Doctor: *opens up my medical record/notes, sees diagnoses of chronic depression, GAD, PTSD & DID* Doctor: "So you struggle with low mood and anxiety?" BRUH.

Our favorite moment from last night! Way to go Rep. Al Green!

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Erasing women

Really weird how the Epstein files were not brought up once during the SOTU.
