Trump just repeated his Ukraine policy. When Trump met Putin, he abandoned Ukraine, our treaty with Ukraine, & abandoned giving them weapons to defend themselves. Within 12 hours of returning from China, Trump abandoned defense of Taiwan, and says he may not give them weapons to defend themselves.

The data center boom has a direct historical analog - mining booms of the 1800's. Just like then, without regulatory controls they will strip your community of resources, destroy nature irresponsibly and provide jobs...only for a moment. The end result will be a global "rust belt".

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!

The 6 far-right extremists on the illegitimate Supreme Court has rejected a bid to restore Virginia’s new congressional map that people voted for in an election. Pure fascism.

People will try to tell you it’s “just a joke,” but it’s much more than that: This is a test. Our democracy will not collapse in a single moment. It weakens when the public becomes numb to rhetoric that would once have been unthinkable. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb.

Kentucky, strong to severe thunderstorms are moving through the state today with the potential for damaging winds. The greatest risk is between the hours of 4-9 p.m. EDT. Please remain alert and have weather notifications on. Stay safe, everyone.

I just watched the series finale of Outlander. I can’t believe it’s over. I loved them all.

Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

The felon's plan to pay off J6 thugs is not just corruption, it is buying their action to go to the mat for him during & after the Nov election. If Dems win, thugs lose their payday. This isn't to reward them for the past, it's to pay them in advance for future violence.

Call me crazy but I would rather have affordable healthcare and a fully funded Forest Service instead of a $1 billion ballroom for rich old men to play grabass in.

But the Roberts Court claims racism is gone from the US:

Younger daughter & I found these fossilised crinoid rock stars (segments of the ‘stem’ of Jurassic feather stars/sea lilies, related to starfish & sea urchins) in the gravel on the edge of a lake nr Peterborough UK. She used them to make an ammonite:

“Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents are being told to find a new power provider because the grid is being re-routed to A.I. data centers.”

This is important. We can't rely on anyone/anything else. We the People have the power to save American democracy.

AOC on Trump’s reported plan to use $1.7 billion in IRS funds to compensate January 6 insurrectionists and pardoned fraudsters: “He’s using the entire government as a slush fund… one of the most unpatriotic and un-American acts I’ve seen in my entire life.”

Do not focus only on the presidential election; the elections for state legislatures and school district committees are equally critical. Conservatives are trying to infiltrate from the grassroots. Every single vote is a defensive line to block radicalization and protect local public education. 🗳️

Anti-voting group released a sweeping new “model laws” handbook that urges lawmakers and election officials to restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, conduct mass voter challenges and empower officials to deny/delay certification. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The fact that he violated the custom of every president in the last 60 years, releasing their tax returns, violated his word by never releasing his tax returns does not give him the right to steal from our treasury because he did not release his tax returns!

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Intel chair hasn’t read the treaty. If he had, he’d know there’s only been one time NATO was required to help the U.S. and that was after 9/11. And they did.

Isn't the reflecting pool beautiful now?

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

We're All Standing With Ted Lieu....

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

Ok I’ve heard of corruption, scams even insider trading but this is straight up smash and grab of American taxpayers money with the added kicker of you can never audit me again..Fck that guy we’re not mad enough

"To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow, good night and good luck, motherf* kers."

If Hitler started WWII today, Trump and the Republicans would ally with him faster than you can say Mussolini.

It’s 2026, in Oklahoma has finally made child marriage illegal. Congratulations? Also WTF.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

America's roadless forests are some of the most intact, connected wildlife habitats left in the country. We have a chance to keep these wild forests safe — for good. Ask your legislators to cosponsor the Roadless Area Conservation Act and help save the homes of America's most vulnerable species. ⬇️

Each month there is a vigil at NRA HQ in remembrance of Sandy Hook. #NoGunsByMail We object to the reckless ridiculous action of allowing USPS to mail firearms in service of profits for Don Jr. #CorruptCrimeFamily

Hey, so if we want a 51st state, D.C. is right there. Oh and Puerto Rico, if THEY want it. Fuck off with that manifest destiny shit.

OPINION by MS NOW writer @hayesbrown.bsky.social: "Trump’s priorities in his second term offer a glimpse into a parallel timeline, one that presents a far calmer, less frenetic reality than what we currently experience." READ MORE: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

The Iran intelligence assessment revealed more than a failed military strategy. It revealed a president trapped in a 20th century worldview while confronting 21st century crises. From drones to AI to housing to healthcare, this is becoming the defining problem. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
