can the WH tell me what crimes I need to do to get some of that $1.776 billion to cover my student loan debt

This is a new level of grift.

Now sanctimonious Vance is going to run around the country preaching to us about “fraud” investigations while Trump pardons the worst convicted fraudsters in America leaving victims with no restitution, and they force taxpayers to pay $1.7 billion to J6 criminals & MAGA henchmen.

More than 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during the Trump's immigration crackdown. And roughly 3/4 of the children, are U.S. citizens, according to estimates from the Brookings Institution that were shared with The New York Times www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...

Spotted an Ovenbird in beautiful light this week in Central Park. Ovenbirds are so-named because they build a nest on the ground that looks like a Dutch oven! (see image below). And how about that orange mohawk? 🧡🧡🧡 #Ovenbird #CentralPark #birding

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

Democrats need to understand we’re already in a revolutionary moment. The American republic built in the 60s and 70s is being swept away by Republicans and the Supreme Court. It’s up to us to fight for a liberal democratic future. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

Bats are cool, except when they’re in my living room.

"The Trump administration has struck what some see as the final blow to PEPFAR, the vaunted US program that has saved the lives of 26 million people living with HIV. The State Dept now says that as of 30 September, CDC support for PEPFAR will end in most countries." www.science.org/content/arti...

This plan is just root and branch unconstitutional: Trump & Todd Blanche colluding to steal $1.7B from taxpayers to mete out to Trump's friends & thugs in Trump's sole discretion. abcnews.com/US/trump-adm...

These ghouls refuse to give ordinary people a cause of action against fed officials for legit constitutional violations, but go to bat with a *retroactive* cause of action for their insurrectionist colleagues crying for being caught conspiring to overturn an election. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

“The Republicans and their Supreme Court are waging revolution by demolishing the institutions and rules of American liberty.

Clinical social worker here. I serve folks with mental illness. I've taken SSRIs for years. They work. RFK, Jr. is mainstreaming eugenics logic cloaked in "wellness language." Unmedicated bodies are deemed strong and worthy of protection, while everyone else is treated like pharmaceutical waste.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

"The resulting daily indignities have rippled across Cuban society. We returned from our trip certain that if the American people knew the full extent of what is happening on the ground in Cuba, they would demand an end to the blockade immediately."

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

This looks brilliant! 🧪

A state that redraws its legislative maps before every election to maximize advantage for the incumbent party is not a democracy or a republic and in any case obviously violates the guarantee clause, among many others. No country does this. No country ever thought of doing this. It is a total farce.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.
