The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

SCOTUS is entirely corrupted and must be completely reformed Expansion 18 year terms Thomas and Roberts impeached and removed Enforceable code of ethics End the Shadow docket.

This is part of everything that’s wrong with the way the oligarchs have hijacked Americans and get them to work against their own economic interests. It’s the same with the fossil fuel, health care, our elections.

This is the best analysis. benrhodes1.substack.com/p/where-the-...

Imagine a president totally owned and managed by a foreign adversary bent on destroying America from within. Now ask yourself this. How is Trump any different?

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

I’m on the bus in LA!!! It’s clean, has AC, nice driver, going pretty much door to door for what I needed to do. If you visit LA, this is a thing you can do! #Speed3 @ladotofficial.bsky.social @valleyheat.bsky.social

Six years ago today, my parishioner, my mentor, and my hero, John Lewis, transitioned into ancestorhood. May God bless the memory of the boy from Troy, and may we all continue getting into good trouble.

this, for me, is the defining Lindsey Graham statement

Some r upset with my use of the phrase “mini extinction event.” But given this is what happened in 1877 with a 3.5 Celsius El Niño, a 4.5 Celsius event, on top of already historically warm oceans, would create mass global deaths: www.popularmechanics.com/science/envi...

We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,600 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients. Explore the database:

There are so many powerful images to sum up the USA during the second Trump administration, but this one's in the top five

A reminder that Republican senators (and representatives) could have stopped Trump any time they wanted to.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy. This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.

Over the next 10 years, we need to roll over the Republicans for the benefit of democracy just like they rolled over us for the benefit of their fascism.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.

We’re all paying for climate change.

EVERYONE READ THIS! substack.com/@thiswillhol...

FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters called out Trump for being $3 BILLION in debt, infidelity, not talking to his son, reading the works of Hitler, etc Real Journalism used to be a thing! (Now ask yourself what long-term promises you might make to people if you were billions in debt…)

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

Perfection. Thank you, Stephen Colbert. youtu.be/zG0HFw0edXY?...

Stephen Colbert ended his show with more joy and happiness than Donald Trump has ever felt in his lifetime, and more than he will ever feel in the rest of his days. Thank you, Stephen. May this country follow your smiling lead to better days. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’m so furious about how stupid everything is

This Needs to Happen…. Idea: a law that says if you’re going to build a data center, you have to also build enough solar panels to power it. We can call it the Bring Your Own Damn Grid Act.

Our economy is rigged. The rich get richer, while working families struggle to make ends meet. My ROBINHOOD Act would close the “buy, borrow, die” loophole that increases this wealth gap & would generate $30 billion/year — more than enough to fund universal childcare nationwide.
