with Radley on this one and I'll add my 5 cents: bar discipline is insufficient. ALL the corrupt goons (from staff attorneys to federal bench) need to get investigated *to ground* start with Emil Bove and work your way down

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

Exactly these 3 are doing just that! #Blues

He's a lot of awful things, but he’s also an ignorant twit.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. No one in America is safe from Trump's deadly police state.

Trump has terminated plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill… Because he’s such a racist and petty Motherfucker, isn’t he?!

Hahaha. What a marroon. this is your opportunity. He better watch it. I’m sure Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves is ready to send the first wave. .

NEWS --> Gov Josh Shapiro confirms to me that Pennsylvania won't join Trump 250 gala. “This president routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal—it shouldn’t be that way,” Shapiro tells me, noting that PA businesses didn't want to participate. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2123...

Absolutely brilliant 💥

The genius of Obama's big speech is this: He effectively stated that Trump/MAGA do not accept the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality. In the battle over our 250th anniversary, we need to put that basic truth squarely on the agenda. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

When you are paying $765 million to companies to get them to cancel clean, renewable energy projects, you are screaming to the world that you are a corrupt fossil fuel lobbyist bitch who does not give a damn about what's best for America. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/c...

rather than their actions. If someone commits a crime, charge them with the crime. But monitoring and investigating people because of their speech, political beliefs, or online posts is a dangerous road to go down. The First Amendment was created to protect dissent, not turn it into evidence.

The ballroom is a fiasco. The reflecting pool is a fiasco. The inflation is a fiasco. The federal deficit is a fiasco. The Iran war is a fiasco. So please remind me again what makes Trump such a “winner”?

An ER nurse. A son. A human being. Not a terrorist. The more Americans learn about what happened to Alex Pretti, the more outrageous the official story becomes. Watch the video: tinyurl.com/3dsva9vs If this can happen to an American ICU nurse, who exactly is safe from government abuse?

I did tear up. Repeatedly.

The Trump Ceasefire

If there is any justice left in this country, the entire Trump crime family will end up behind bars due to their obscene corruption.

That's because the U.S. is controlled by a white supremacist regime.

The Trump jobs myth collapses when examined: he inherited 75 consecutive months of growth, rode Obama's recovery, then exited with 2.9 million fewer jobs than when he started. Mfg declined & wages stagnated. A record built on inherited momentum, shattered by chaos. His pattern is the same now.

Where’s tRump? He’s been gone since his cabinet meeting following his visit to Walter Reed Hospital. Frequent posts on his SM lead me to believe his staff’s doing overtime to distract from the obvious. IMHO, tRump’s slapped his name on everything because he’s dying. #ProudBlue #tRumpDissapearance

In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit. In April alone over $50 billion was spent in data center construction.

Good for Iowa rejecting the MAGA candidate for Governor in the GOP primary. This never happens in the Deep South where Republicans are locked up, pro-Trump because MAGA is the confederate party. I’m glad to see some “Yankee” states recognizing that and rejecting it.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Right??!

A study in contrasts.

Perfect.

BREAKING: Iran’s soccer team has moved its base camp for the World Cup to Mexico from the United States, the president of the Iran Football Federation said.

I hit the streets of Seattle looking for someone with $50 million in a trust fund. Why? Because many of the people who do have that much are using complicated trusts to dodge estate taxes. My Fair Trusts for Fiscal Responsibility Act closes the loophole. Let's pass it.

Just unbelievable corruption. He said he would drain the swamp, instead he brought in the swampiest administration in history, declared himself Supreme Emperor of Swampopia, and ordered his justice department to essentially give his entirely family immunity.

On the verge??? No, he is the worse president in history.

a lot of people have moved on from the fact that Russia has been waging a war of ethnic cleansing against Ukrainian civilians for almost half a decade at this point

Ahead of the United States’ 250th anniversary, 59% of Americans say the country’s best years are behind us, while 40% say its best years are ahead. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Anti-voting group released a sweeping new “model laws” handbook that urges lawmakers and election officials to restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, conduct mass voter challenges and empower officials to deny/delay certification. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🔥 @sekoufranklin.bsky.social : “A stain on the legacy of Tennessee.” Sekou put on a clinic, schooling Tennessee Senate Republicans about why Sen. Jack Johnson’s bill carrying (racist) water for @GovBillLee & Trump and stripping representation from majority-Black Memphis would be a disgrace.

Germany concludes that Poul Bak Thorsen, the Danish anti-vaxxer whose debunked writings about autism and vaccinations fueled the anti-vaxxer movement and who has been lionized by RFKJr, should be extradited to face fraud charges. www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

This is really important. There's a tendency to conflate 'free speech' with 'uncurated speech' but they're different. Social signalling is how we avoid having to criminalise and enforce many difficult to define but terrible behaviours. The choices reputable institutions make shape that signal.
