Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

Our investigation showed that levels of benzene, a cancer-causing gas, were 37x higher than what the facility reported in the past. The Trump admin has halted efforts to monitor for benzene near large industrial plants like this one, leaving communities in the dark about the air they breathe. (2/2)

The Reagan National Defense Survey,released Thursday,found that the majority of Americans favor sending lethal aid to support 🇺🇦 This confirms what we've known all along:that so many US people firmly stand with us.Friends, we're beyond grateful. Thankful to everyone supporting Ukraine on all levels

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

People seeking U.S. citizenship and their lawyers say federal immigration officials are canceling naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies for immigrants from countries restricted by President Trump in June.

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.” The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida. It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID. Free link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.

We know you’ve seen the designs for the 2026 America the Beautiful pass, aka the “national parks pass.” Gross, right? 🤢 Know what’s even more gross? Asking rangers to determine who is “American enough” to pay the lower cost to enter the parks.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

1 million acres of pristine public land in Alaska will now be open to fossil fuel drilling, thanks to Republicans in Congress. Big Oil spent nearly $500 million lobbying and boosting friendly candidates last year — and now they're getting a big return on their investment.

The Golden Age.

Trump refuses to release job numbers because they are bad. Trump destroyed our economy once and he’ll do it again because billionaires get wealthier when our economy crashes.

The claim that Hep B vaccines only have 5 days of safety testing is false: www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...

'Explicit White Nationalism': Trump National Security Strategy Document Leaves Critics Aghast

And that’s why we didn’t get any details about Cole’s activity between 12/19 and 1/5 in the affidavit or the press conference.

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.

Dominate our neighbors. Undermine the European Union. Kick out the immigrants. Ignore the Middle East and Africa. Barely pay attention to China. That's my summary of the new Trump National Security Strategy, a foundational document for US policy. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Pipe bomb suspect told FBI he believed 2020 election conspiracy theories www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."

Don’t say @premthakker.bsky.social and I didn’t warn u: zeteo.com/p/trump-nati...

the republican party has nothing to offer that helps the citizens or the economy. all they do is steal from others - ideas, bills, projects, money.... the party of thieves #republicans #gop #republicanparty

The Trump admin's claim that it was targeting criminal aliens was always bullshit, and it's just hard for me to believe that most Americans don't know that. And assuming they do, this signals just how broken our society has become—it's a sick game we're playing.

Behold the greatest economy in the history of the world

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

There was a time when Americans would have laughed at this sycophancy. And that would have been all of American history before now.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

The Trump administration’s attacks on the Forest Service are increasing the risk of wildfires. We will keep fighting to make sure our firefighters have the resources they need to protect themselves and keep us safe.

The only reliable data we are going to get on this stuff now comes from the private sector. bsky.app/profile/atru...

South Floridians from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela expecting to become U.S. citizens this week learned instead that their naturalization ceremonies had been canceled after the Trump administration issued a sweeping directive aimed at halting immigration from so-called high-risk countries.

This is a gift. Thank you to @siembranc.bsky.social for sharing this new toolkit with what they did when Border Patrol showed up in NC: docs.google.com/document/d/1... - share far and wide especially with our comrades in MN and LA (New Orleans esp).

This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.) And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.

The Trump administration will announce a rollback of fuel efficiency rules for cars and trucks. With weaker rules, car companies will “make more gas guzzlers,” said Dan Becker of the Center for Biological Diversity.

yes, it’s really that bad.

Hegseth posted the meme on the left. However, the meme on the right seems likely to be in his future. Looking forward to seeing him and the other war criminals at the war tribunals.

#USDemocracy #MomSky Oversight Democrats launched their Oversight Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to report ICE and CBP misconduct. “Only incidents verified by reputable media outlets or referenced in litigation are included. Social media videos without corroboration are not.” Dashboard:

Trump eliminated the Consumer Protection Branch of DOJ and has all but eliminated the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He pardons, commutes, or refuses to prosecute fraudsters because he too is a serial fraudster who is currently barred from corporate leadership in New York because of fraud.
