Then stop starting wars in a place about which you are so ignorant

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

Every member of Congress needs to see this ad. The fact that we’ve reached this point should terrify everyone.

I’m not even a Texan and this makes me want to raise the Lone Star. And, man, the downers attacking him saying “Texas was built on genocide” and such need to grow up. Every culture that has ever existed has its good and bad. Guess what? If you despise your own country good luck winning elections!

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Damn he’s good at this.

For those wondering if their vote matters: Speaking as a historian, there have been elections throughout American history that were decided by an AMAZINGLY SMALL number of votes. Don't surrender your right to have a say. Vote!

If we do our jobs, this should be a bigger ass kicking than 2018. Make it so.

Absolutely incredible. Worth the entire watch.

Leaked audio of Mike Rogers calling for voter intimidation in Detroit: "Let's put police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit. Go ahead, try to intimidate them."

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

But giving water to voters waiting in long lines to vote is illegal

Mike Rogers wife out here trying to by votes for $10 gas cards in Michigan Could this be more desperate? And How is this legal?

You know who else was executed publicly? 2000 years ago???

Sen. Ossoff: When you just came from the grocery store where you couldn't buy ground beef because of the tariffs and you could only fill up half a tank of gas because of the war, and you open the notice from your insurance company and your premiums have doubled, Mike Collins is responsible for that.

Pete Hegseth trails behind the crowd while running with troops in San Diego

You never know the lasting impact of a kind word or small gesture…. My mother is a retired public school teacher. She was recently at the grocery store when a black lady came up and asked, “Aren’t you Mrs. —-“. Yes, she was. The lady then gave my momma a hug and took her back to 1970. Her first year

16. Why bother to vet information when every allegation against the Democrats, no matter how unbelievable, is believed? He tracks the pattern going all the way back to Newt Gingrich in the 1980s. Bernstein suggested that the laziness is part of the deeper malignancy affecting the GOP.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Dear Eric Schmitt: Other places where Jack Smith was not on February 3 — Skateboarding with Tony Hawk Watching a Howard Hawks film Visiting Ethan Hawke Jamming with Hamish Hawk At a Seattle Seahawks game At a Chicago Blackhawks game Birdwatching Cooper’s hawks …but now he’s watching you like a hawk

Good advice!! Make noise. It's long. Read it!

The exact moment I knew Republican attacks on Jack Smith were a colossal mistake.

You know, it’s actually kind of thrilling, watching someone commit career suicide in just a couple of minutes.

The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing. From the archives:

We really need to hear this. “History offers a reassuring reminder: whenever concentrated wealth and elites try to hijack American democracy, from the Antebellum era and Gilded Age to the 1920s, ordinary citizens step up, turn the tide, and restore the balance.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Nicole Wallace just asked Andrew Weissmann what he would say to MS NOW, CNN, and Politico regarding their lawsuit against the Trump admin over the ban. He said: "You're going to win."

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

I was just told a story I almost can't believe. A Haitian man I know, was here on TPS, working and attending church and living his life. He was taken by ICE and fit with an ankle monitor for two weeks. He showed up for the hearing and pled his case to the judge.

This week has been delightful in the AI discourse. AI dudes: Yeah, so, there is, like, a 10% chance this technology could kill us all in less than a decade. Public: WHAT (thread)

i really answered my own question yesterday: how do you get out of feeling useless and crawl out of a depression blackhole? raise $1300 for a mom to pay her rent and buy her kids food and clothes. remember that mutual aid is as important for the helpers as the recipients.

A sundowning old man, addicted to AI slop, surrounded by supplicants and apparatchiks, with control over the US nuclear arsenal.

Honestly, I sometimes feel the same.

The Reflecting Pool. The Kennedy Center. This is Republican governance: The dilapidated ruins of a once-great city now ruled by criminals enriching themselves by the hour.

$16 million later, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was supposed to be open by July 4. Instead, it looks like this.

One of my earliest memories of Dolly Parton was from the Walt Disney World 15th Anniversary Celebration. Dolly had a cute little skit with some of the “gals,” featuring her hit song “9 to 5.” youtu.be/PaM7qC5GAO0?...

We need @amightygirl.com to move here full time. Here's an excellent post by them about the development of the pertussis vaccine, aka 'whooping cough.' It is such a great story, and @aetiology.bsky.social is writing a book on the topic. www.facebook.com/share/p/1DPb...

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

While gas prices soar Americans lose health care and trapped sailors eat rotten meat

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.   That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

This story is a bit wild. After Elon Musk's DOGE erased decades of USAID data, it was assumed to be lost. But a Canadian college student had previously downloaded much of it in high school for a project. 4,000 PDFs. Thanks again, Canada. Yet again. www.aiddata.org/blog/before-...

This is how you know we need a wealth tax
