“There’s a petulance, a vindictiveness that is endemic in DHS people, reminiscent of the anti-communist paranoia of the McCarthy era. It’s no different,” said Rosenberg, former senior executive service leader USCIS who spent more than 26 years in federal service www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche claimed his job was completely done while keeping names blacked out and critical files buried. A federal judge just explicitly rejected his claims and issued a fierce ultimatum. Read the exposed data: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-eps...

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

We need democratic socialism. It is way past time taxpayer dollars were spent on taxpayers, and political power was reigned in.

Good for him! My grandfather raised my father in Whittier, and “hated the night riders,” as my dad remembered. The night riders being the Klan. Good to see this mayor honors that Quaker heritage.

Trump’s regime tried to sue a jazz drummer for $1 million because his conscience wouldn't let him perform under Trump's name. A judge just threw the case out and ordered the regime to pay HIS legal bills instead. Read this incredible victory: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/a-federal-...

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

Again, Bill Pulte is a 38-year-old -- no really, 38 -- who only holds a BA in broadcast journalism and absolutely zero experience in the intelligence field. He has no qualifications for this job at all. Aside from being a psychotic lickspittle to the president.

Donald Trump is using the United States Department of Justice to go after a woman he raped. I feel levels of anger beyond comprehension.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

Demented. This is the president of the United States; someone who should be a role model representing the highest office in our country. Dignity and decorum are dead.

ICE flights. Saturday, May 16, 2026. Busy day -- 31 planes, 9 deportation flights, 4 to Tapachula, Mexico, alone. Tapachula is a main dropoff site for third-country removals.

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

Dear #merica, #ShadyVance is also working for putin.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

What he says…

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Here's story we did, laying it out: Derek Chauvin had a body-cam not only when he killed George Floyd, but also when he knelt on necks of others, including a 14-year-old. The boy's mother begged, "“Please, please do not kill my son!” Supervisors ignored it all www.propublica.org/article/how-...
