West Virginia’s Republican Attorney General JB McCuskey is demanding a decade of records from environmental groups, including their internal communications and statements about climate change. Now West Virginia Rivers Coalition and 350. org are suing,

I don't agree with this. Even though Elon Musk received over $38,000,000,000 in corporate welfare from the federal government, he should still be allowed to vote. Once. What he should *not* be allowed to do is to interfere with *our* votes.

"Lord, we pray that you lift up this venal adulterer who constantly bears false witness so we might continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he hates in your holy name. Glory!"

BREAKING: Judge orders that Trump must sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11th… So, will he?! 😎✨

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

This is how we do it

“Christian” pastors cheering on public executions when the whole Christian faith is based on the abhorrence of the gruesomeness of a public execution shows how far Christian Nationalism is off the rails.

There was a time when being married to Kimberly Guilfoyle was a mystery. No more!

A win! A federal judge has put the brakes on the Trump regime’s taxpayer-funded TV ad campaign. The order blocks further spending on the challenged ads and requires scheduled airings to be canceled including tonight’s. The administration has 24 hours to confirm compliance with the court.

He makes a good point.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

So Donald is making it clear: his pointless war with Iran is tied *solely* to domestic politics—and has nothing to do with Iran having a nuclear weapon. I thought he wasn’t supposed to say that part out loud.

Attn: The Trump administration has declined to invite independent international observers to monitor the November midterms, breaking a practice dating back to 2002.

Amazing news! MLB has dropped its proposal for a baseball game in Grand Teton National Park! Thank you to everyone who pushed back and stood up for our parks!

A win! A federal judge in Georgia today dismissed the Justice Department’s lawsuit seeking unredacted copies of the state’s voter registration list.

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

That expression you have while witnessing spectacular incompetence.

I think we all saw that coming

I usually read what you post, but this has me furious just from the intro. Not sure I can do it. They need to just GET OUT. Wife school?! ☠️🤬

I hope Michiganders elect Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate. He would be good for Michigan and good for the United States. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/senator-abdul-el-sayed

Today I learned that Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clark fan and that Amy Klobuchar knows more about sports than Eric Schmitt.

if you are driving and you want to let a pedestrian know you are stopping so they can cross, the best way to do that is by stopping. Not driving at them while making impatient gestures.

Years ago, I remember someone writing a screed about someone Carly Simon befriended on an AOL board. She responded with one word, "Goodness." Some drunk stayed up all night to write a loooooong email about how horrible I was. I responded, "Goodness." It drove him crazy. Thank you, Carly Simon.

NEW: Food banks across America are being overwhelmed by surging demand. Scott MacFarlane went inside to see the crisis firsthand. Here’s what he found:

A win! The California Supreme Court has ordered Republican Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to return roughly 650,000 ballots he seized from the 2025 special election.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Taxpayers Are Paying for a Trump Ad That Looks Like a Campaign Commercial open.substack.com/pub/yashar/p...

KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting? SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

WELKER: The president said in 2025 'I have stopped all govt censorship and brought back free speech.' He's now limited reporters he doesn't like at the Pentagon & White House. Do these bans amount to govt censorship? BARRASSO: You've asked the question a couple times and I've answered (Not a no!)

alert the press: it is not normal for the president to be unable to stay conscious during televised events in the Oval Office

This is a thread of memes about Kash Patel’s defense of bestiality sent to me by current and former FBI employees. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🧵 1/

The President says he is going to ban CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. He’s trampling on our Constitution and the freedom of the press. His corruption is staggering–and his attempts to cover it up won’t work.

BREAKING: Trump announces he is banning CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House in a blatant violation of the First Amendment… So, now what?! 🤔
