I am reading Joanne @jbf1755.bsky.social Freeman’s “The Field of Blood” (Congress before the Civil War). I am struck that stereotypical partisans still use threats and violence to assert their desire to subjugate and persecute other people. It’s amazing that the Union survives US sectionalism.

Sharing a song about life's messy and often painful experiences. Maybe not for everyone but if it is, enjoy. youtu.be/aGfQvfMkkao?...

I am just getting around to watching @kamalaharris.com on Jimmy Kimmel. I like how she maintains a sense of urgency and seriousness while Jimmy tries to lighten up the conversation. Our country’s situation is certainly critical. We are under attack from traitors and stateless oligarchs.

Excellent episode!

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

"These are monstrous men and women. They are angels of death, instruments of misery and architects of a sinister future that must be opposed by all Americans of good faith and goodwill." steveschmidt.substack.com/p/susie-wile...

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

There's only two Epstein Q&As in me, and I just wrote the third...

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.” *THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH*

#GVerse While you fly around the country, playing dress-up for the cameras. 🤣 Mic drop!🎤

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has filed a federal lawsuit to halt President Trump’s plan to build a massive new ballroom on White House grounds. The administration sidestepped multiple federal laws by advancing the project without required reviews.

Great interview, Greg! “Strategic statelessness” and “competitive depravity” should enter the national conversation.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

If you’re around a baby, get your TDAP! In my genealogical research, I’ve seen many death records for children who died from contagious respiratory disease. Sometimes multiple children in one family. How stupid are we to intentionally go back to those days?

I feel this in my bones… THE AMERICAN WORKER IS ALL OF US. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native, immigrant, union or not. Not the “working class” stereotype. We built this country. We keep it running. Stop dividing. Start recognizing. I have a lot to say open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Like something Dugin wrote www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Thanks to the great @mollymckew.bsky.social for joining us on The Five 8. We talk Cabinets, cabinets, inexplicable magic dust, and much more!

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

“For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war … to save free Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine is the only country that is fighting this war, and we are still discussing should we include them or not.” - Garry Kasparov

All of this is madness is cracking up and falling apart. Trump's team's individual arrogances have formed a poisonous group dynamic. Together, they are supernaturally incompetent and corrupt. They seem to think that judgement day will never arrive. It will. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/america-we...

Pretty cool way to launder money to seditionist militias right out in the open tho

Michael Weiss’ analysis of the Witkoff, Rubio, Vance, Kushner, Dmitriev collusion in the Ukraine surrender fiasco is comprehensive and understandable. Fantastic informative conversation. youtube.com/watch?v=_WU0...

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Pete Hegseth must be immediately called before both Houses of Congress and be told to his face in front of the nation and the world, that if he gives illegal or Unconstitutional orders, he will face prison for the rest of his natural life.

You know what, I'm just gonna re-up this post

1/2. The Trump/MAGA anti-social, ignorant trajectory is not sustainable. I wonder about the government policies which would emerge from the intersection of these bits of information from the last couple of weeks: 1) a futurist says that the goal of AGI is to replace all human work; 2) Steven Miller

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS REGIME ARE TRAITORS TO THE UNITED STATES AND OUR ALLIES. (there's no other way to put it)

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said. Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes Europe can, and must, craft better with Ukraine A point by point analysis of the shambles: www.greatpower.us/p/28-points-...

Reminder: SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

"Now, a previously unreported court filing shows that the two men who delivered that witness are feeding intelligence to Trump that’s brought the U.S. to the brink of war with Venezuela."

Personalized gold bars from the Swiss. Used jumbo jet from Qatar. Huge amounts of $$$ from crypto. The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

Big congratulations to my friend @nadinesmith.bsky.social. She’s going to be terrific in her new gig, and they are lucky to have her at Color of Change.

Agree With Governor Newsom.....

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

DOJ didn't get a warrant for the core evidence in their case against Comey. www.muellershewrote.com/p/halligan-i...
