When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

I see folks like Todd Blanche, Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham on Sunday shows. There's plenty of evidence that they use such platforms to lie constantly. Giving them a megaphone to spread their lies is the opposite of journalism which is about seeking the truth. It's irresponsible & damaging.

The thing about Patel — and everyone in this admin — is that they do the *absolute worst fucking thing possible* IN EVERY SCENARIO. Like, “Patel went to Hawaii and then did a luxury snorkel trip” -somewhere- would he corrupt, but expected. Why, of all places, at a sacred site?? That takes effort

Scott MacFarlane slams the corporate media for helping Trump rewrite January 6. By underresourcing coverage of the largest criminal prosecution in American history, MacFarlane says mainstream outlets created the vacuum that allowed Trump and his allies to spread lies about the Capitol attack.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

Distractions are not working. Release the Epstein files.

“Alexa, show us an interview you couldn’t pay us any amount of money to watch”

The Trump administration appears to be in a full sprint right now, pushing through as much damage as possible before the midterms in case they lose. It feels like there’s a new one every few minutes.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

voices? They've been thirsty to do that since 1964/65. They never let that resentment go, just as they never let their resentment of 1865 go, either, with all the stupid fucking lifted trucks I saw with huge confederate flags hanging off them. Fuck the South.

Researchers in Hong Kong developed a nasal spray for rapid stroke intervention. The system uses nanotechnology to deliver neuroprotective drugs directly to the brain and reduce neuronal damage during the emergency stage.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

I Fully Endorse this Idea….

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Yesterday, a caravan of about 13 cars drove from L.A. to the California City detention center - 100 miles each way. Then we joined a rally in town, and heard about all the people who've died there, including a 16 month old baby. Each center makes about 800K A DAY. It's CECOT on our shores.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Don't tell me Trump toady IL rep #DarinLaHood took credit today for improvements made under Joe Biden's infrastructure bill. Enjoy the upgrade to your waste water treatment system #SouthBeloit!

Numerous publications have published the 'Trump SA'd and physically assaulted a 13 yr. old girl.' He hasn't sued any of them, why? Discovery. He's afraid of the Discovery phase of any lawsuit regarding his Epstein crimes...

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

One thing this regime has taught us is that a president can do whatever the fuck they want if no one stops him. All that bullshit about "Don't worry, he can't do that because constitution" is being proven to be the lie it is. We are allowing our country to be dismantled by a mad man and his cult.

America has a demented president running the country and the people who voted for him, or couldn't get themselves to vote for Harris so they stayed home or voted 3rd party, are responsible for this damn mess. Anyone with a lick of sense could have seen this coming.

Oh, it’s ok to show “hard on” pills commercials every 10 minutes on tv which are by mail.

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

This checks..

James Comey has been keeping busy waiting for his upcoming trial.

RFK Jr caught a starling at the Dulles Airport today. I don’t want to know what happened after.

262 business days. That’s how long the Department of Education told us it would take for it to respond to our recent records request. That’s not how freedom of information is supposed to work. By @charlesornstein.bsky.social

More than 40 global media outlets are coming together as the One Free Press Coalition to bring attention to fellow journalists who are being threatened for seeking to tell the truth. #OneFreePress

When the checks are on the people & press, & the balance protects rich pedophiles, you'll find -

America

Evergreen statement from AOC, and what we're battling daily.

there is a standing injunction against LAPD harassing journalists but they just can’t help themselves

IF Americans vote overwhelmingly for Dems & give them at least 60 Senate Seats & at least 300 House seats not only could they Impeach & Remove this entire corrupt regime but they would have the votes to remove the corrupt SCOTUS Justices Too! Hope that gives you some incentive to get everyone out /1

The ignorance of the people who vote for these criminals is why we are where we are. Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.
