This is what happens when your country (or state) puts religion before education.

Lawrence O’Donnell: “The Trump DOJ’s Comey investigation is being overseen by Trump’s favorite federal judge in Florida, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump judge who threw out the 2023 prosecution against him in the classified documents case.”

The President is doing this without authorization from Congress and without the support of the American people. Congress must reassert its role — countless American lives are at stake. www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

Happy Friday, everyone!! Enjoy your day!

I am old enough to have used a phone book 'for real'.

Solar panels aren’t being held up in the Strait of Hormuz. A point worth making

Can somebody please explain how it makes sense to lift economic sanctions on a country you’re at war with?

I KNOW it’s hard to accept that democracy is gone. But the longer you count on elections, the longer everyone will suffer. We CANNOT vote our way out of authoritarianism. It’s simply FACT. We must ORGANIZE OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS to even SURVIVE this, let alone CHANGE it.

Jim Acosta testified before Congress today warning that a pending merger could hand CNN to Trump-aligned billionaires. He’s never stopped speaking truth to power, even when it cost him. We’re grateful someone is still saying it out loud. Share if you believe in a free press. @jimacosta.bsky.social

Moskowitz: Allegedly, Lewandowski was shaking people down. He was saying, ‘If you want a contract, you’ve got to go hire this firm.’ That $100,000 number we heard, where anything over $100,000 had to come to Kristi Noem’s desk—well, it turns out it did go to her desk, but he was sitting at her desk.

Just think about the words “showcase showdown.” It’s so silly.

I don’t think he’s running for reelection.

"Every Christian" did not vote for Trump.

Precisely this - and this is why I’ll be shifting from a peacekeeping Atheist to one that shames every Christian for their hate, bigotry, and narcissism. Voting for the Piggy Pedo POTUS is a sufficient condition to declare that anyone doing so is a shitty fucking human being. Religion must die.

Fuck. And fuck Bari Weiss. I've been listening to KNX, the CBS radio news station in Los Angeles, for more than half of that time.

hopefully someone will sue cbs

trump and his sleazy fuckin pedo pals trying to funnel all "news" to newsmax and fox news. CBS is just a shell pawn now.

Not these CBS assholes.

Well, that used to be the case. My family used to all sit around and listen to Walter Cronkite too. In those days, most of us agreed on the facts. I'm afraid those days are gone forever, over a long time ago. Billionaires have pretty much ruined that and we have new ways to keep up.

Scary- ominous

But they want to consolidate and shrink the media the same way they want to shrink the electorate.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

The weekend!

We did this with tariffs. Now we’re doing this with war. And some insiders are making a fortune off the chaos.

He caught me trying to take a picture.

I know I’m not the first person to say this, but if a Democratic President had said or done even one of the things that the 🍊💩🤡 has done, they would have been impeached and gone by the end of the day.

It sucks but it’s also really funny that a senator got a massive brain injury and suddenly became a Republican lmao

Monday - Send more troops Tuesday - Say we’re ending war Wednesday - Send more troops Thursday - Say ending war Friday - Send more troops Saturday - Golf Sunday - Golf

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.

I'm reminded of these wise words from Mr. Fred Rogers on what would have been his 98th birthday. We are all in this together. Let's renew ourselves to the fight for the common good. It's all the more important during these difficult times.
