Former NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad: "I am convinced that the staff cuts that we saw were a contributing factor to the inability of the emergency managers to respond."

Chance that this guy—who onJan 6 told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!”—could get a security clearance in normal times: Zero. Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Who Threatened Police Joins Justice Dept. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...

I think a true patriot is the person who gets emotional and choked up when contacting their representatives over this big, disastrous bill.

A parent of a Parkland survivor accused his son of being a "crisis actor." Think about that. The CA movement is nothing more than denialism. Why would someone shoot kids leads to this never happened. If it "never happened," this dad doesn't have to deal w it. But his son does.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

⚠️ BREAKING: U.S. 🇺🇲 Sees 1.701 Million COVID-19 Cases in a Week as COVID-19 Transmission Exceeds to 26.0% Currently 1 in 197 Americans Infected with COVID-19.

The ugly face you make when you find out the bribe you took to fuck over all of the other 49 states has been snatched back.

"I’m sorry if I’m not adequately sympathetic to Lisa Murkowski’s plight, but she understands the consequences of her actions. She says the vote was difficult– she voted for it! That’s not difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you don’t actually DO the hard thing."

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

The president is hawking fragrances while the State of Florida is celebrating its first concentration camp by handing out swag. I'm rooting for the asteroid now more than ever. #DontStopBelieving 🤞

In Japan, you can hire someone to quit your job for you. It reflects a shift in work culture as more people are leaving their jobs, challenging traditional employment norms of staying with one company until retirement and tenure-based pay.

Terrorist Trump is not really in charge or probably even cognizant of his surroundings due to senility. 🤷 He’s just a Trojan horse for a cabal of corporate Nazi pedophiles who control our country from the shadows like Putin does in Moscow. Sad!!! 🤷 😢 🌮 🍊 💩

It’s TACO Thursday. Who does Trump cave to today?

$4 trillion increase to the debt limit, brought to you by: The Republican Trifecta.

McGovern: My state of Massachusetts funds states like Indiana where the gentlelady is from. We get back less than we give. And so how dare she or anybody else vote to steal our tax money and give it to billionaires?

Congress is about to vote to cut basic needs for children, seniors, veterans and low- and moderate-income Americans to fund big tax breaks for the wealthy. This bill is anything but beautiful. It’s a betrayal of the American people.

Accepting a lavish plane from the Qatari government isn’t diplomacy—it’s corruption with wings. Public servants shouldn’t be accepting luxury gifts from foreign powers. This isn’t leadership. It’s a bad decision that undermines trust and invites influence.

Here’s an idea: Stop acting like the Gestapo.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

INBOX: Bloomberg publishes an “atlas” to the Trump family’s “money-making machine”: “.. In any other era, this scale of presidential moneymaking would threaten to be the story of the year, but political uproar has hogged most of the attention.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Fine: Rome is burning McGovern: One of the previous Republican speakers got up and said Rome is burning but I hate to tell him but Republicans are in charge and Trump is your Caesar.

Millions of Americans are one illness away from financial ruin. Healthcare shouldn’t be a luxury for the rich—it should be a guarantee for all. We need universal, publicly funded care. It’s time. #HealthcareForAll

Remember when made in the USA was a good thing. That is over now.
