Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

All the people who are saying it's too expensive to tackle climate change today are the same people who twenty years ago said that climate change wasn't really happening

President Trump blew up what could have been a win for his party — and he did it to force lawmakers to pass an elections overhaul bill that has been all but doomed in the Senate. n.pr/4vx0DUv

Yale’s Budget Lab ran the numbers. Households with the lowest incomes lose $2,160 a year under Trump’s megabill and tariffs. The wealthiest gain $9,670. And he just killed housing relief on top of it. The cruelty is the point. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

Yesterday, Donald Trump was supposed to sign a huge bipartisan bill to bring down housing costs. But he didn't. Why not? Donald Trump doesn't care about the cost squeeze on American families. Mr. President: Sign the bill.

Authoritarian leaders systematically attack diversity because pluralism is structurally incompatible with the kind of power they are trying to build: unaccountable, personalized, and absolute power that recognizes no legitimate rival, no independent check, and no truth outside the leader’s own.

(WSJ) - Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship Thursday in the Strait of Hormuz, according to two senior U.S. officials, testing the deal to end the fighting and reopen the vital shipping lane .. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Foreclosures are at a six-year high. Lenders repossessed 45% more homes than last year. And Trump held a bipartisan housing relief bill hostage for a voter suppression law that will never pass. The cruelty of this man is staggering. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

WSJ offers an exploration of how the Iranian regime and the IRGC rely heavily on crypto currency to evade sanctions... and indeed how sanctions evasion figures at the new main purpose of crypto. Many friends of the Qusay and Uday here. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

NEW: The Brennan Center for Justice sued the Trump administration for records on whether the DOJ has created a list of voters for states to remove from the rolls. The records in question would reveal critical information, including how the DOJ is using the data and who it's being shared with.

Ordinary people cannot compete with billionaires for housing. That is the reality right now in America. @SenatorWarnock and Congress fought to level that playing field. Trump just ripped it up. Share this. Make some noise. Don’t let this die quietly. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

Two researchers — one in Massachusetts and one in Shanghai — hoped for the same breakthrough: a gene therapy for deaf children. New Chinese investment in science propelled the one who got there first. n.pr/4weVi49

82% of Gen Z can’t afford to buy a home. Not because they’re lazy. Because the median home costs $417,700 and the median salary is $62,600. Trump just killed the one bill that could have helped. This is a rigged system and he just made it worse. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

President Trump has repeatedly tried to bulldoze past our laws, and now he’s trying to significantly alter CA agricultural land with the construction of an ICE facility near Gilroy. We’re asking the court to pause this illegal development. The law is clear, it’s time the Trump Admin follow it.

I’ve spent more than a year reporting on how the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated academia over the last 30 years, shaping fundamental paradigms on how to address climate change. My first story in the new @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social series, “Carbon Captured”, is out today.

Good news. This is a major blow to Trump's plot to rig the midterms. And the cruel irony is that it will make it easier for Trump to keep voting by mail himself. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/judge-blocks-trumps-executive-order-mail-voting-rcna351751

Michigan! It's time to lock in. This Sunday we're knocking thousands of doors across the 7th District. Mail ballots go out today and a $750K SuperPAC is going on TV for our opponent. Join us and get a free bumper sticker. Knock two shifts, get a t-shirt. Top 3 knockers get dinner with me.

The shameless lies about Dr. Fauci are only made more egregious by the fact that they solely intended to cover up the incompetence of simple-minded Donald Trump’s shockingly inept response to COVID.

The housing market is heading negative for the first time in three years and experts say brace for worse. Trump’s answer? Kill a bipartisan relief bill and demand a voter suppression law no one will pass. Reckless. Irresponsible. Inexcusable. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

NEW EPISODE: A federal judge in Massachusetts just blocked Trump's executive order that would have let him use the Post Office to control who can vote by mail. This is a massive win for democracy — and it's not the only one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tmz...

Do you know how hard it is to get a bipartisan housing bill passed? Congress fought for it. Both sides. Got it done. And Trump just checked out. Didn’t show. We refuse to let this get buried in the news cycle. Americans deserve better than this. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

Trump woke up yesterday and threw another tantrum instead of signing a housing bill that would have helped millions of Americans afford a home. He failed us. Again. While he and his buddies stuff their pockets, the rest of us can’t pay rent or buy a home. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

By the way: if the FBI shows up at your doorstep and is like “I’d just like to ask some questions” they don’t have to read you your Miranda rights. You still have the right to remain silent. You can just say, “no, thank you, I’m not interested in talking to you” and have that be it.

If someone from the FBI visits you about your algae posts the correct thing to do is to say you won’t talk with them. Please do not talk to the FBI. Like, at all. They have no sense of humor and they will take your stupid joke and charge you with lying to an agent.

Ahead of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley's funeral, activists from Mississippi and across the country are gathering in Senatobia to march tomorrow, demanding justice after a police officer shot and killed the child while his mother held him in the passenger seat of a car outside Walmart. Details here:

The Senate said no. The House said no. The votes are not there. And Trump still won’t sign the housing bill. He would rather strip Americans of their right to vote than lower your rent. We see you. We won’t stop shouting out about the evil. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

Republicans. Democrats. Both chambers. All working together on housing relief. Trump looked at all of that and issued a threat anyway. Major GOP support meant nothing. Americans struggling to afford homes meant nothing. Only his agenda matters. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

If you think renting or buying a home costs too much — you’re right. And you’re not alone. Millions of Americans are right there with you. A bill existed to help. Trump refused to sign it. Remember this. Tell everyone you know. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

"There's nothing wrong with abortion. You don't have to justify it." @bookersquared.bsky.social says the repro rights movement spent decades leading with the abortions people find hardest to argue with—the exceptions. That's part of how we got here. New B*tch, Listen! @angryblacklady.blacksky.app

Reminder that Trump issued an executive order to boost production of glyphosate, a chemical in weedkiller linked to cancer. His DOJ also defended chemical manufacturers in the Supreme Court case that was ruled on today, which helps shield them from liability claims. “Make America Healthy Again.”
