Kash Patel looked senators in the eye today and said, under oath, that the FBI is “targeting and investigating no journalists.” Let’s check that against reality, shall we?

Republicans retaliate against Dems who opposed redistricting. #deconstruction #exvangelical #currentevents #news

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion. The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm. ca.news.yahoo.com/doj-consider...

Tariff refunds are starting to reach businesses. The first wave began flowing in this week. About $166 billion was collected across 330,000 importers while Trump’s IEEPA tariffs were in effect and a court order directed Customs and Border Protection to refund those duties plus interest, turning what

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

After FIVE MONTHS on the job, Zohran Mamdani has delivered a BALANCED BUDGET for NYC, without cutting services or raising overall property taxes. HE DID THAT!! He cleared a 12 BILLION dollar gap by managing spending, getting a bigger slice from the state and closing loopholes. He did it while

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

I think a US president stating intent to murder American citizens is an impeachable offense but what do I know

I wish I could boycott Starbucks but I can’t because their coffee sucks and so I already don’t drink it.

RICK RUBIN on why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies: "So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."

In case you are wondering how DOJ is doing in court.

A win! Florida will shutter “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention facility.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

I guess if you’re trying to remove the fascists, being anti-fascist would be a “terrorist”

If you live in Seattle. Please protest this. I know people won't see this post but please show you care about our rights and our dignity as human beings. I'm tired of living in fear.

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

After the Klamath dams came down, fish reclaimed habitat, water quality improved, and youth are on the river. It also kept hundreds of thousands of metric tons of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.

It was a political hire. We know that because Bari Weiss had almost no experience in brodcast news when hired. Thus: "When the season finale of '60 Minutes' airs Sunday night, it may very well mark the end of the program as it has long been known inside CBS News." www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

Trump says Republicans will deploy a larger nationwide “Election Integrity Army” for the 2026 midterms.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

🚨 BREAKING: Eileen Wang, mayor of Arcadia in Los Angeles turned out to be a Chinese spy. She pled guilty to acting as an illegal foreign agent for China.

"This is the moment to be honest about what has to come next," writes @jamilsmith.bsky.social. "Democrats must pass a new Voting Rights Act. In that new bill, whenever it arrives, there must be a federal ban on gerrymandering in congressional districts."

I lost a decade of my life to what the liars on skinnytok are spewing. I won’t be propagandized again and won’t let anyone near me be either. #deconstruction #exvangelical #currentevents #news

The Wall Street Journal confirmed it received federal subpoenas targeting reporters’ records a move so rare it’s almost unheard of in modern federal prosecutorial history.

The Trump administration just finalized the rescission of the Public Lands Rule and it’s as bad as it sounds. The Public Lands Rule was a protection that put conservation, cultural sites, clean water, and outdoor recreation on equal footing with oil, gas, mining, and grazing on BLM lands.

🔥 HAYES: “You get the pattern here, right? One after another… so there’s no Black members of Congress left in the states of the old Confederacy. They want a New Jim Crow, now they have a blessing from the Supreme Court.” #Tennessee #Memphis @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

We have an activist, illegitimate, far-right Supreme Court, and there's a compelling case for the impeachment and removal of at least two justices.

Supreme Court Holds, 6-3, That Black People Voting Violates Rights Of White Voters

Circa 1910 photo looking south from Sunset Trail above Echo Mtn past Mount Lowe Observatory (1894-1928), past the orderly streets of Altadena and all the way out to Catalina Island 60 miles away. I wonder if the area still gets sufficiently clear skies to duplicate this view.

Well this is terrifying. sfstandard.com/2026/05/07/u...

I had no idea the founding of Mothers' Day was an antiwar movement. From Letters From An American: "Mothers’ Day was not designed to encourage people to be nice to their mothers. It was part of women’s effort to gain power to change society." open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The Trump administration will soon propose softening Biden-era limits on “forever chemicals” in drinking water. The proposal will roll back the first-ever limits on PFAS in drinking water.

This is shocking earth-shattering news and do you know what’s going to happen because of it??? Absolutely nothing.

Under President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” food stamp applicants are fighting to prove eligibility and facing questions about birthday gifts sent over Zelle. A crisis in Arizona offers a warning for America.

Trump claimed it would cost $1.8 million to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue. The Interior Department then moved to pay a Virginia firm called Atlantic Industrial Coatings $13.1 million for the job a 628% increase over Trump’s stated figure.

The GOP is doing everything it can to silence voters and entrench minority rule. Overcoming that to win the midterms will require an unprecedented level of organizing across the country. Our movement was built for this moment.

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

The Trump administration just handed 1.4 million acres of your public lands to the state of Alaska and they didn’t even try to hide why. The Dalton Utility Corridor has been managed by the Bureau of Land Management since the 1970s, originally established as a protected

It’s not hypocrisy. It’s manipulation. They know exactly what they’re doing.

Also a reminder that Republicans do not care about hypocrisy and bringing it up is a waste of your time. They see principles as a weakness to be exploited.
