This is why we need draft legislation NOW for a transitional justice tribunal and lustration after he's gone. It's also why states setting up to prosecute Trump administration officials, as NJ under Sherrill and IL under Pritzker are already signaling, is more important than ever.

I hope they look at his hands and consider he may not make it that far. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Every person who cares one iota about the environment needs to rage loudly over this. It will set us back a century. Demand from your Reps & Senators they stop this. It affects many GOP strongholds throughout the entire US. Also check out this site listing companies supporting Forest Service or not.

They're always trying to get ahead of the story. Too bad, it didn't pan out, this time.

these are so cool

We just got the first hard economic data showing the effects of the war, and it shows inflation surging. Lemme take two minutes to explain what it all means while talking into a baby koala's butt.

Saw a reel making fun of people who were expressing skepticism of the #Artemis II images in Instagram comments and while it's true that a lot of folks are just spreading conspiracy theories, there are misconceptions that can just be addressed directly! 1/🧵

MacFarlane: If the first lady is trying to preemptively defuse a journalistic bomb that's coming on the Epstein files, I know a lot of good PR practitioners would say: you don't defuse a bomb by calling attention to the bomb

The U.S. Forest Service has protected 193 million acres of American land for over a century. Hunters, hikers, farmers, and rural communities have counted on it across generations. Trump is gutting it.

Maybe it’s me, after all, I’m not one of the least liked First Ladies ever, but I just don’t understand how holding a press conference to say you only partied with child sex traffickers is supposed to improve your popularity.

Why, tho?

this is the most foreseeable and well-known strategic problem in the course of human history, which most straight men in positions of power scrupulously work to pretend doesn’t exist because of the Implications

Our nation is at a moral crossroads. Trump asked Congress for over 1 trillion to fund the Department of Defense and his war of choice. To get it, MAGA Republicans want to defund childcare. Healthcare. Education. I won't stand for that.

Last week Laura Ingraham mentioned that the AfD party in Germany wanted a removal of all U.S. troops and bases. She neglected to mention J.D. Vance and Elon Musk's support of AfD, an extremist far right party with fascist and white supremacist leanings.

📣H.R. 1897 could be voted on by the full House next week. This bill would gut the ESA and dismantle the very foundation of environmental law in this country. If passed, this bill could have devastating consequences for wolves and endangered wildlife. Contact your rep. today: https://bit.ly/4c9ZB8k

He will literally destroy the USA.

Remember, old white men started pretty much all wars. This is excellent.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

Reminder: Corporate consolidation, like what we've seen over the years in the airline industry, leads to less competition. It gives the biggest remaining corporations the power to rip you off and protect profits because you have fewer options from whom to buy from.

RFK Jr: We are going to rebuild trust in public health by disparaging scientists and public health professionals. JayB: That’s not enough. We have to rebuild trust in other ways. RFK Jr: Fab what do you suggest? JayB: We will censor studies that show we are wrong. RFK Jr: It shall be done.

Jay Bhattacharya likes to claim that he was so disturbed that his idiotic ideas were “censored” that HE and only HE will promote open discussion of scientific ideas. In science, we do that through peer-reviewed studies. But he is now blocking the publication of studies that show he’s wrong.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it could collect roughly $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it could collect $26. Wondering why the Trump regime has cut 25,000 IRS employees in the last year? It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

The FY 2027 NASA budget request hides its science cuts by omitting mission names instead of explicitly zeroing them out. We did the work and found 54 missions cancelled in this proposal. This is another extinction-level event for NASA science. Full list: planetary.org/save-nasa-science

On this day, 1865: the last Confederate flag, a white dish towel.

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

Pharma’s budget to influence Washington exceeds the salaries of *every member of Congress combined* by like 5X. But it’s still a pittance compared to the profits of the the parent drug companies.

Repeat after me: “Israel is not synonymous with Judaism” I’m a Jew horrified by Bibi’s grotesque war crimes—he’ll happily bomb a synagogue on Pesach (Passover) in a heart beat, because, repeat after me, “Israel is not synonymous with Judaism,” & it’s extremely antisemitic to conflate the two

One more reason to refute Trump’s face saving lies: Per @gregsargent.bsky.social, one of the lies is that Trump’s brutality worked. It’s total nonsense of course, but if it goes unchallenged, the main silver lining—Trump fucking around and finding out—will be lost. newrepublic.com/article/2087...

This seems bad.
