Proof that multi-billionaires are a sign of societal illness/personal rot… Zuckerberg getting enough $$ to “acquire” IG, then throwing his weight around and threatening to withhold the free exchange of info for entire states bc those states held his company legally liable for HARMING THE PUBLIC.

New from me @notus.com: Internally, FBI agents are now referring to a "payback squad" based in NY or DC. Its remit? Targeting former government officials. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

I’m a reasonable person. What the Republicans are doing is racist, anti-democratic, unconstitutional and probably illegal.

Someone used AI to apply to college and for student loans in our writer's name. It’s happening more than you think.

Assholes. All of them.

The collusion, criminality, corruption, and idiocy are embarrassing and enraging. Trump, his cabinet, tech bros and Republicans have betrayed the trust of the American people, broken our laws, violated our constitution and for what??

Read it. Then dig in…again.

You remember last year when 500 South Korean battery production experts were kidnapped from a Hyundai plant in Georgia and mass-deported? This single act completely destroyed the willingness of foreign EV experts to work in the US to advance American battery and motor manufacturing. 7/x

A Florida Republican Sheriff, Grady Judd, announced the arrest of 266 defendants in a sex trafficking scheme & minced no words. He identified influencer Craig Long, who he said moved in high circles including with the president, holding up a picture of Long with Trump www.youtube.com/watch?v=x03q...

(carter glass was the virginia lawmaker and newspaperman who was a key figure in the defeat of the readjusters, the imposition of jim crow in the commonwealth and later, the creation of modern financial regulation. fascinating figure, total bastard, kinda want to write about him.)

christian nationalist abortion bans are deadly…

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

From coast to coast, voters have opportunities to elect Democratic AGs this November! 🗳️ Check our map to see if your state has an AG race in November.

Watching the packed SCOTUS kill the VRA today disabused me of any remaining American exceptionalism indoctrination. Bad ppl WILL ALWAYS DO BAD THINGS when they are provided the opportunity to abuse power…

Russia's stealth disinformation weapon — Storm-1516 — uses fabricated videos, phony websites and anonymous influencers to sow doubt and bend reality. We spent a year unraveling how it manufactures dangerous, false claims. Read The Big Take: bloom.bg/4t1VUYL 🎨: Rachael Dottle/Bloomberg

By this same logic, Donald Trump bears direct personal responsibility for the murder of Melissa Hortman, the assault on Paul Pelosi, the guy who showed up armed at the Obamas, the attempted pipe bombing of several prominent Democrats, the January 6th rioters who assaulted cops, and many many more.

One of the most brilliant political cartoonists out there, & an amazing artist. Definitely worth following. @anntelnaes.bsky.social

The only way to make things right is to hold the wrongdoers, thieves and grifters to account.

CRIMINAL CORRUPTION

FN criminal syndicate family…and Republicans are FN criminal accomplices.

Republicans are actively ignoring their constitutional duties…

tired of paying for RICH PEOPLE’s MISTAKES and/or WARS…..

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

When we finally get them out…it will take decade just to sort out all the crimes and indict all the criminals……….

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files. Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

Many people are asking, so here’s my “why.” Thank you, Kansas Democrats, for an inspiring Friday evening together.

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

Will voters EVER understand the big lie about "scary democratic (small D) socialist policies?!" Bernie has told us for decades, and Mamdani is showing us now. We can instantly fund a WAR but have TO DEBATE for decades about healthcare for all - GEEZUS! They've LIED TO US FOR PROFIT for decades.

Stevens to RFK Jr: "To top it off, Mr Secretary, I got a copy of HR-944. You know what it is? It's your impeachment articles, sir. You have abused your office, you have gutted America's public health! You should be ashamed."

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

One piece of legislation drafted by a Leonard Leo-supported nonprofit would effectively bar cities and towns from bringing lawsuits against corporations and others when the issue is a broad public harm like climate change.

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes. Not at all 'good.'

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Hell yes.

The question needs to be addressed by Congress. But they’re too cowardly. No Balls. No Spines. He’s a convicted felon, a fraudster and a Rapist.

"sex doesn't belong in YA books" Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.

Okay, again... this is how TF you write a GD'ed headline!!!

Read it.

Legitimate, Independent Media is so important right now.

Hey media-- Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections. Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice. Language matters.
