If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

A good summary here of how much Meta is in the tank for Trump. And a reminder that the authoritarian threat comes not just from within the Trump administration but from its oligarchic allies. Oligarchic power is now a clear and present threat to our democracy. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Non needed! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Well, well, well...

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Putin is getting desperate... and so is Trump.

Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST. Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.

Almost 20 countries offer women-only public transportation options. They're not protecting women from bears. (data from World Bank)

Zelenskyy says Trump has betrayed Ukraine.

Precisely.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

We really have to consider the possibility that we elected the dumbest motherfucker in America. Twice. Do better, people.

There’s a lot going on right now, and Susan Collins is hoping voters won’t notice that she was the deciding vote in confirming another anti-abortion Trump judge to a lifetime appointment.

I hope folks realize this Bab al-Mandab situation will be much worse than the Strait of Hormuz if it’s not sorted out quickly. And it doesn’t currently look like it will be sorted out quickly.

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Fot the record, there were zero fatal U.S. commercial airline crashes during Pete Buttigieg’s tenure as U.S. Secretary of Transportation from 2021 to 2025…

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Pass term limits. Ban congressional stock trading. Overturn Citizens United. Get foreign influence out of our politics. It won't fix everything, but it's a start. We need leaders who are willing to fight to fix the broken system that’s shutting down Alaska.

Susan Collins caters to the top 1% because that’s who funds her. Every vote she casts for billionaire tax cuts and corporate loopholes is a direct betrayal of working families in Maine.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

Phil Gordon was Nat Sec advisor to VP Harris

A president who refuses to send aid to states that didn’t vote for him, is a literally enemy of the state and the nation.

The doctor who tried to save lives during Covid is being treated like a villain. The traitors who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being treated like victims or heroes. It's American madness.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

I’m just waiting for the locusts at this point.

I was going to say it’s because voters are ignorant, but I’m way past that. We just need to get going with what we have.

Judge Enjoliqué Lett just ordered Trump to hand over the financial records of his entire business empire. He's the one who filed the lawsuit. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-trump-...

It’s so refreshing to see a senator who knows how to ask questions. Too often, witnesses deflect and the senator moves on. Ossoff does what a good trial lawyer does—persists until he gets an answer or a refusal to answer. Both responses can be deeply revealing.

It’s 2026. Why are women still expected to prove decades-old name changes? Women shouldn’t have to keep proving who they are. Enough. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Ossoff: "I think it's time for the president to do something of value for the American people instead of lining his pockets while he's in office"

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

ICE will keep killing people as long as they think they can get away it and not a moment sooner than that.

Every single day during the presidency of Joe Biden, the Strait of Hormuz was open. No Senators were ever accused of being shameless sycophants for Biden. Biden never pushed to have monuments named after himself. And Biden never confused one of his ex-wives with a woman he raped.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia: "Apparently ICE has learned nothing. If they really think a car is gonna hurt somebody, even a kid would tell you you shoot the tires, you don't shoot the driver."

I recall a time when the FBI—and the Department of Defense and White House—weren’t run by ignorant men perpetually stuck in the 7th grade.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.
