This is an excellent press question. Whistleblowers are long able to bring a qui tam lawsuit which DOJ can join & get 15-30% of any settlement under the False Claims Act (which is used often to address health care fraud including in Medicare & Medicaid) compared to only 1% under this capped $ fund.

Air pollution from gas-powered AI data centers is expected to add at least $20 billion in health care costs per year. This finding is part of a report, The Hidden Health Costs of AI Data Centers, from a group representing 800 former EPA employees. Get the report: safernotsicker.org/take-action/...

A squall line will affect portions of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic this afternoon. Sporadic strong gusts are the main hazard. The tornado risk is low, but not zero. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has an update. myradar.com/videos/6831

BREAKING: The FBI made a video trashing Democrats & hyping Kash Patel, then posted it during early voting Spending your tax dollars to campaign or to hype the director is illegal -- This video did BOTH We want watchdogs to find out who signed off Our @democracydefendersfund.org letter👇 -TN

more atrocious economic news: producer price index went up 1.3% in September and 6.3% on an annual basis... the largest monthly and annual gains since March 2022 and December 2022, respectively.

This can’t be true because Trump and the Republicans running for office have been telling me that prices have been coming down thanks to the leadership and brilliance of Trump, Bessent and Lutnick.

At Donald Trump Jr.'s intimate wedding weekend, "the bride will wear white, the groom will wear white, and the Russian oligarch nobody knows will wear camouflage in case someone tries to take a picture of him," @petridishes.bsky.social writes.

“Families shouldn’t have to pay for the AI boom with their health.”

EXCLUSIVE: I obtained a draft of the Trump administration plan to roll back the Biden EPA rules on methane pollution. I reported previously on the little-known oil-industry campaign to deregulate “stripper wells” — which is finally coming to fruition: www.propublica.org/article/meth...

Pay attention to what Trump is actually DELIVERING with his foreign wars, not his false promises.

This really blows up all kinds of media narratives about Trump and Trumpism still somehow tapping into Real And Enduring sentiments in the electorate:

🚨EMERGENCY EPISODE: A bombshell whistleblower complaint, submitted to Sen. Richard Blumenthal's office, reveals that the U.S. Postal Service allegedly kept building a new system to restrict mail-in ballots even after federal courts ordered it to stop it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySb4...

The media needs to choose, says @brianbeutler.bsky.social: "Depict the parties as they are, or fabricate 'balance' and misinform the citizenry." Good look at media's ongoing failure to be honest about today's GOP: www.offmessage.net/p/media-fail...

This is large scale disenfranchisement and now SCOTUS has even less excuse not to reject Trump's EO on mail voting. Allowing him to move forward would have clear negative harms to voters that could not be reversed, even as his claim for authority over voting processes is legally dubious.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

Republicans claim they are fiscal conservatives. It's a big fat lie. They explode the national debt with lower taxes for billionaires and corporations, wars they cannot win, and billions in vanity projects. Then, Dems get in power, and the GOP screams about debt. www.cnn.com/2026/08/19/e...

A week or so ago the Prospect reported on the dire shortage of radiologists at VA medical centers. VA spokespeople said that nothing was wrong. An Inspector General report 5 days later confirmed: there's a dire shortage of radiologists at VA medical centers. Suzanne Gordon reports.

The Trump administration just made it official: it's demolishing the US's shell company registry, and destroying all of the data it already collected. A disaster for US anti-corruption efforts.

Trump's mindless rollback of offshore wind has screwed over thousands of workers

Trump is blocking billions of dollars of grants that would fix the nation's power grid The Department of Energy has canceled or stalled funding for thousands of projects that would improve the country’s stressed grid — and not just in blue states.

US diesel prices overtake Biden-era average in blow to Trump ft.trib.al/aosRozZ

Remember this 📌

"A federal funding freeze by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) delayed $10 million in Minnesota wildfire prevention... right before over 60,000 acres burned in the Superior National Forest."

Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East. And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.

Seems important

So, can we have some video evidence of Mitch McConnell being alive and healthy and suitable to serve as a Senator?

somewhere martha stewart is like “are you fucking kidding me with this shit”

Companies associated with Trump's sons have received $1 billion and counting in government contracts since he returned to office. We've never seen anything like this coming out of the White House. 📸: @ms.now @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

"In nearly every state, the official humanities nonprofits created by a congress to help make history and literature accessible to all Americans had to give up their 250th anniversary planning when DOGE pulled their federal funding..." www.notus.org/agencies/dog...

JUST POSTED: A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last year came as hundreds of thousands of his fans bet on a $TRUMP memecoin. Trump won big. His followers, financially at least, were big losers as Trump profited at their expense. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low. At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals — and that they were pointless: “An appeal is not available to review an underpayment.” (Published April 2025)

Following a move by the Kennedy Center Board to seek an injunction to keep Trump’s name on the building, the Washington National Opera (WNO) filed a lawsuit, alleging the Kennedy Center failed to return more than $17 million in donations. More: substack.com/@shero/note/...

And Trump wants ANOTHER $350 billion for the military.

SUBRAMANYAM: You tweeted in March that the US Navy had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. Was that true? CHRIS WRIGHT: No.

NEW: Days after WIRED revealed that Meta had embedded an unreleased facial-recognition system in software distributed to more than 50 million users, the company appears to have removed it. www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

THIS. IS. BRIBERY. Trump gave corporate donors to "his" White House ballroom $50 billion in contracts -- OUR tax dollars -- and Trump suspended their pending federal enforcement actions. He's purging intelligence community personnel to make it easier for him to sell out the country.

US GDP: 2023: 2.9% 2024: 2.8% 2025: 2.1% 2026 YTD: 1.6%

"The deepest offense here is not the legal violations—grave as they are—but the unconscionable affront to the American people. That affront operates on two distinct levels."

Now tell us how much Trump, his family, and his businesses have increased in wealth since he took office.

As the billionaires have become more dependent on the government—none of Musk's businesses exist without massive recent government investment—they've become angrier that it does anything but protect their wealth.

Republicans are set to dismantle at least five majority-Black districts in the South.

1. This week, Trump said that the extra money that Americans were spending on gas due to the Iran War was "peanuts." We did the math, and the increased energy costs for Americans is equivalent to 14.5 million pounds of peanuts That's 110 pounds of peanuts for every American household

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

NYT: In the middle of the lunch, Trump called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and told them he wanted the regulation lifted. Trump’s FDA Commissioner then resigned in protest. Things like this are happening every day. RFK Jr is a total fraud.

Congress, the ball is in your court. Pass a bill with a veto-proof majority to ban our taxpayer dollars from being spent on bogus “weaponization” claims. You control the power of the purse. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

As soon as tomorrow, Senate Republicans could force a vote on the MAGA spending bill that would shovel over $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol. The GOP is hoping the public is too distracted to notice their attempt to rush this bill through before the holiday weekend. We need to get loud.
