A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

URGENT: help save over two million acres of Oregon's forests! The Bureau of Land Management is considering updates to plans that guide 2.5 million acres of western Oregon lands, with a strong push toward expanded timber production by the current Administration. eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-...

I'm confused how an American president can reduce sanctions on two countries currently killing American citizens and others and remain in office. Perhaps 'treason' means something different in the US?

Moral rot, that sums it up pretty well, in my humble opinion.

Massie not backing down.

He’s awakening!

This baby was tear gassed by ICE, and now in the hospital, Minneapolis. I'm so angry, very angry!

Pretty clear.

Hey Donald Trump, we haven’t forgot that you and your team are covering up the #EpsteinFiles. The coverup isn’t working. @lincolnproject.us #TrumpIsOnTheEpsteinList #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp #DV1 #ProudBlue

In the meantime WHERE ARE THE #EpsteinFiles ?? #FlashbackFriday WE KNOW THERE MUST BE MORE NOW. 👇👇

I may grow to like ai after seeing this!

Stories I found today to replace dread with hope & action:

Kevin Curry, a food influencer and a former SNAP recipient, explains where SNAP recipients can get the most up-to-date information on their benefits, and how anyone can find free or affordable food. n.pr/4nPEa0c

Is it true that if they hear from enough of their unhappy constituents that they can change their vote? I hope so!

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved: ⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto ⚫️ Dick Durbin ⚫️ John Fetterman ⚫️ Maggie Hassan ⚫️ Tim Kaine ⚫️ Angus King ⚫️ Jackie Rosen ⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell, 1984

I disagree. It's completely acceptable to Republicans. They control all three branches of government, but this doesn't even appear on the priority list. Too busy giving tax breaks to the rich, awarding no-bid quid pro quo contracts to donors, and protecting pedophiles/sex-traffickers.

This is true—Bessent owns $25 million of farmland in North Dakota—and a reminder of why farm bailouts are nothing more than a giveaway to feudal lords who demand the government grossly distort agricultural economics to make their tax haven "farms" even more valuable to them.

Pay attention!

WHERE ARE THE EPSTIEN FILES????

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Meanwhile, Trump decimated the Department of Education. Part of their mission is protecting children with special needs. Yes, Republicans have children with autism and special needs too. Please stop voting for selfish billionaires, and tax the rich so we can have nice things like health care. TY.

Nutty stuff.

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world. I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see. open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

I say yes, do it!

Conway: Trump said something that the people who work for him now should remember. He said the people who worked for Obama—they’re not protected by the immunity decision. All you people working Trump, you better watch it because you don’t have immunity.

Disgusting.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Sigh

It…has….started:

Remember this in ‘26

The GOP's Medicaid-busting tax scheme is filled with poison pills antithetical to the values of our people. So I wrote a proper preamble for their big, ugly bill.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
