If a broadcast network runs a segment decrying those who commit rape and pedophilia, then by law they must give equal time to President Trump. by Brendan Carr

There were around 30 attorneys in the DOJ’s Voting Section on the day of Donald Trump’s second inauguration. Three months later, all but two were gone. Now the election deniers are in control. www.wired.com/story/the-ju...

"Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxon and TotalEnergies will make $2,967 a second in profits in 2026. It marks an increase of nearly $37 million a day compared to their 2025 profits." Never forget who is benefiting from Trump's deadly, reckless war.

Good to know these are all indictable offenses

Wild story from @carolinehaskins.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/a-plan...

If Congress could say anything about this at all, that'd be great!

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

“.. Carlyle estimates that just 17,000 jobs were created, among the weakest results since the US economy emerged from the 2020 recession.” @bloomberg.com $CG www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Of all the things I won't be watching the rest of my life, this is the thing I won't be watching the hardest #ShouldaHitHimIn1978WhenIHadTheChance

JD Vance said yesterday the Dallas ICE facility shooter was a “violent left-wing extremist.” No evidence backs that up. But then I remembered Vance admitted in 2024 that to help the GOP: "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention...that's what I'm going to do."

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

And, yes, Bove and Homan should be immediately impeached too.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of a key annual report that is central to future inflation data. I’m sure it’s because the numbers are really, really good.

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

He has to “act fast” because the statute of limitations for Comey’s testimony expires in like 9 days.

Trump posts a deranged message to Pam Bondi pressuring her to prosecute his political enemies after a U.S. attorney quit because he refused to fabricate charges: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”

NEW: In a rare public appearance, Jack Smith spoke at length this week issuing a dire warning about Trump's weaponization of the Department of Justice. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-jack-s...

And again, why are these agents kitted out like they are going into Mogadishu?

Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

I was in high school when Bill Clinton deregulated the FCC. I remember attending a hearing where lefty commenters predicted this all would happen. I did didn’t realize it would take this long, but here we are. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecom...

"Thiel claims the Antichrist will be … focused on existential threats and apocalypse, and … will usher in a totalitarian world government under the slogan of ‘peace and safety.’ But Thiel’s Antichrist checklist—a paranoid obsession with apocalypse, control, and surveillance—describes Thiel himself."

Blumenthal corners a belligerent Patel into admitting that the White House is in touch with the FBI about personnel decisions

I, for one, am shocked that Republicans were hypocrites about cancel culture and the First Amendment. Who would have ever predicted they were arguing in bad faith to excuse the horrible shit they say?

Trump has filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. Two of the journalists named in the suit—Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner— discussed their reporting with @karaswisher.bsky.social & @profgalloway.com in 2024. Watch that conversation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CKk...

A whistleblower revealed that officials copied the sensitive SS database of over 300 million Americans to an unsecured cloud server, risking identity theft and benefits loss, and exposing the government to costly consequences.

absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence

They had kids, too.

NPR is tracking the record number of lawmakers in Congress who have already announced they don't plan to run for reelection ahead of the 2026 midterms.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump and his allies are intensifying their dangerous and anti-democratic threats to use Charlie Kirk’s murder to suppress progressive political activity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice. People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment. Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America. Speak up now. Press conference today.

Calling it now: almost all the coming crackdown on progressive groups will be focused on those that provide funding, resources, research, knowledge, or assistance of other kinds to Democratic candidates, voters, and institutions focused on winning the midterm elections. An authoritarian crackdown.
