New England native living in Pa. Mom to a special needs kid. Democrat. Rescuer of dogs and cats. Trying to figure out how to get through the next 4 years of his f^ckery.

There are over 1,000 victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking and abuse. But Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell are not victims; they are collaborators and participants. Neither deserves a moment of peace before they rejoin their partner in Hell.

Unlike most government officials, Cook's salary isn't paid out by the Treasury. The Fed is self-financing, it turns a profit and is authorized by law to use that to pay its expenses.
If they just keep paying her, and continue to let her participate, it's not even clear what he could do about that.
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
Jordy: I call it the leaky fascist faucet. You have CEOs giving Trump gold, then it's let's do a little gerrymandering, let's send the National Guard into this one city, and the next. And then? It'll be:
We need to deploy the military during elections to make sure no "election fraud" is happening.
Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.
“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

They say they’re worried about a “shrinking workforce,” but they’re silent when ICE rips apart documented families who all have jobs. And a $5,000 “baby bonus” won’t fix what $310,000 in real costs breaks. This is not about the workforce.
This would have been a terrific moment in history for the United States of America to have a presidential administration with at least the tiniest bit of moral authority.
Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.
By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
Trump’s pretense that he’s fighting antisemitism has always been a transparent fig leaf for using real antisemitism to destroy universities, as illustrated by his hosting on May 23 of cryptocurrency investors whose coins bear slogans like “F*CK THE JEWS.”
A database of autistic Americans? That’s not healthcare—it’s control.
Objection: RFK Jr. wants to build a registry of autistic Americans. New post up now.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.
Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?
This, sadly, is true. The United States government is in the hands of morally depraved and morally corrupted people who are enabled by moral cowards and the morally apathetic.
I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
A top scientist at Harvard who has spent years unraveling the mysteries of tuberculosis woke up Tuesday morning and discovered an order from the federal government telling her to halt her research.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.
Just clicked on the Elon Musk town hall and literally the first thing I heard him say was The Great Replacement Theory, which he previously pulled back from when the entire world told him it was both antisemitic and categorically false
But now he needs to buy our votes again, so
If you shop at the grocery store, fill your car with gas, or care about inflation and our nation’s economy, this is your fight too.
These illegally fired FTC commissioners work to hold big corporations accountable—and now they’re suing.
We've got to have their backs.
Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Shutting down the Dept..of Education. Destroying USAID Documents. Republicans passing a government funding resolution until September so Elon Musk can continue his demolition.
Trump playing car salesman on the White House lawn.
Business leaders upset. Europe fires back with its own tariffs.

ICE rounding up and detaining people with tourist visas. Detention facilities described as horrendous. The US is spiraling into a vicious autocracy.

DOGE just sacked half of @usedgov’s workforce, including lawyers defending students with disabilities. If these chainsaw massacres are so popular, why don’t they bring them to Congress first? How many cases do they have to lose?
LIE: Musk says Democrats pay Social Security to undocumented people who then become voters
TRUTH: Persons without legal status in the US can’t get benefits or become voters
TRUTH: If Musk and Trump “eliminate” Social Security millions of seniors will lose their homes and be unable to buy food
Elon Musk reiterated his intention to destroy programs like Social Security, which he has called a Ponzi scheme:
"Most of the federal spending is entitlements... that’s the big one to eliminate."
Trump Orders NASA to Purge All Mentions of Women in Leadership On Its Websites: The terms banned include "DEIA," "accessibility," "Indigenous people," "environmental justice," and finally: "anything specifically targeting women," such as "women in leadership, etc." futurism.com/the-byte/tru...
