This is what corruption looks like.

Here's the truth about California's proposed wealth tax that billionaires don't want you to know.

Narcissistic collapse. This is when he's most dangerous.

everyone assumed gas prices would be what caused ole trumpo to flame out but everything is so stupid and backwards that it was actually losing a sign on the kennedy center and bret michaels pulling out of a concert

…Yet somehow even all this pathetic, needy, compulsive crap adds up to a hanging offense. Try him on his life, mens rea be damned.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

This man was playing his cello in the tear gas New Jersey State Police deployed at Delaney Hall last night. “Like the titanic!” protesters said.

Spokane may be small, but this is important for everyone, and deserves national attention: The conviction of the Spokane 3 has chilling, far-reaching implications for nonviolent protest, free speech, and democracy. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

The biggest cover up in our history.

This is an absolutely terrifying escalation by the regime. They have now criminalized our freedom to fight the crimes they commit against us and our neighbors. These protesters acted with extraordinary courage and moral clarity.

92% of Project 2025 has been implemented folks we told you so

This ⬇️ is a great way to celebrate America 250! 🇺🇸🩷🤍💙🇺🇸 TY @hcrichardson.bsky.social 👏🏻

Taking the first step in SW Florida, neighbors “adopt ICE WIDOWS,” whose breadwinners have been taken. All were working men, not identified as criminals. DeSantis just bragged that our state has logged 25,000 ICE arrests. Yet his own data shows less than 500 were pre-identified as “bad guys.” 2%

that headline seems like a vast understatement of what the cops did today in collaboration with ICE. follow @marisakabas.bsky.social @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social @taliajane.bsky.social and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social for a clearer picture.

nothing to see here, just right wing streamers being protected by feds moments after those feds were shooting less-lethal munitions at protesters.

A very effective retort. And it explains why Paxton is mortified at the idea of having to debate Talarico, just as he was afraid to debate Cornyn.

Louisiana's Republican lawmakers raced to eliminate one of two majority-Black congressional seats in the state after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the current map unconstitutional in a sweeping ruling. n.pr/49Onz8X

Data centers’ diesel backup generators are emitting pollutants that can cause health problems for residents. That’s on top of contributing to higher electricity prices and sucking up communities’ water. Is it any wonder communities across the country are organizing to stop them?

Wapo: The Pentagon is recruiting hundreds of troops to appear as spectators next month at Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event on the White House lawn and requiring those who attend to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump bought stock in the UFC’s parent company while promoting fights set to take place at the White House on his birthday, HuffPost has learned

On that. bsky.app/profile/jtis...

The agency said that the requirements, which were approved in March 2024, exceed the scope of its statutory authority. on.wsj.com/4agm8js

Climate change is real. Largely human caused and already an existential threat to many communities and livelihoods. To tackle climate change we must implement an aggressive, science-based plan to markedly curtail greenhouse gas emissions globally and pull carbon down from our atmosphere. #MEpolitics

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) said in a yet-to-be-published proposed rule Friday that it’s drawing up plans to radically crack down on mail voting by sending ballots only to voters who are registered with the federal government. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Kenya court suspends U.S. plan for Ebola quarantine facility for Americans

Pam Bondi refused to go under oath, refused to be filmed, and refused to answer a single question about Trump. Meanwhile, survivors stood in the hallway demanding justice. Here's your midday news recap.

Where are Kid Rock & Lee Greenwood when you really need them?

Sen. Jim Banks: "The good news is President Trump is not going to take a bad deal. He has all the leverage and he's using it."

I think they might actually be stupid enough to try this.

The same group that did that highly successful pre-taped Kid Rock Super Bowl alternative show? LOL

The U.S. is heading into "stagflation," as inflation & unemployment are rising at the same time. This is the economic nightmare Republicans built: tariff-driven inflation, a war spiking energy prices, and no end in sight. www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

"Such intense concentration was not inevitable. It’s a product of decades of failure to enforce anti-merger laws that have been on the books since 1890." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/o...

Mike Judge made Idiocracy as a warning. We treated it as a tutorial. A pro wrestler president, a gilded White House, a birthday party nobody wants to perform at — and a star burning bright right before it implodes. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The immense economic power of the richest Americans allows them to wield immense political power, too. They can pour millions into our elections to elect politicians that will continue to rig the system in their favor. We must end this vicious cycle.

Izzy Aly, Egyptian-born engineer caught in the hell of immigration detention, is begging for medical care for his failing kidneys, even as his urine turns red Aly is the poster child for the growing humanitarian crisis inside ICE detention. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/izzy...

Ouch.

ICYMI: Remember how House Republicans kept taking credit for money provided by Joe Biden's infrastructure bill, even though they all voted against it? And it was so easy to call them out on it? It just happened again. Why whyyy. 😂 www.huffpost.com/entry/bryan-...

"The regulations seek to codify that Trump officials have the right to keep doing what they started last year: canceling thousands of grants that they said didn’t align with the president’s priorities, and shooting down new ones for the same reason."

Black Mirror episode, except it's real life: If AI companies can steal our lives' work and our image, if they can make a robot doll of us and sell it to others, then legal personhood no longer has meaning for anything but corporations.

This year, Trump purchased more than $1 million of Dell stock. This week, Trump's Pentagon announced a $9.7 billion contract with Dell.

So it looks like we’re having a “Marshall plan” for Iran, in the amount of 300 billion to pay for the damage we did. Winning?

EISEN: So you're not trying to get Disney to fire Kimmel? BRENDAN CARR: No. We are pursuing this enforcement matter that has to do with DEI.

subtle.

From a hair-raising 🧵:

EISEN: Every broadcaster in America is watching this proceeding and the lesson they are drawing is that if you say something the administration does not like, you will come after their broadcast license. Are you saying that's not true? BRENDAN CARR: I think it's slightly different than that

Unlike the White House which has become a fortified bunker with a massive fenced off perimeter—the Capitol is still the People’s House. The general public (after a security check) is allowed into the office buildings, often where comts meet. It holds electeds accountable to the citizenry. 🇺🇸
