"Reading books is active resistance" is something I tell to my students every day.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

The Artemis II crew is a breath of fresh air into the news cycle.

Peggy Stuart@peggystuart.bsky.social

The Artemis II crew just gave us an 80's sitcom intro and it's absolutely hilarious! Freeze frames, cheesy grins, theme song energy. These are the four humans who are about to around the Moon. NASA said fun and we are here for it!

The WNBPA players’ new contract agreement shows the power we all have when we stand together in solidarity and organize for what we deserve. They stood on business and demanded better—and won a life-changing deal. When we come together and fight, we win!

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens? NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran. And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program? This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East. She lied. One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on. This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

It’s obscene to have this draft dodger whose children *never* served and whose father never served and whose grandfather was kicked out of Germany for dodging service, wheezing platitudes about the unnecessary deaths he caused to other people’s children who did serve their country.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Enten: "It's the weakest Donald Trump has ever been with independents. Look at this drop! At this point a year ago Donald Trump was at -13. Look at this -- minus 47 points among independents! The lowest Donald Trump has ever been in either of his two terms."

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

While we’re debating whether or not Trump called into C-SPAN using a pseudonym to rant about the Supreme Court, let’s not lose sight of how we’re all in agreement this is something he would do and this is the person with the nuclear codes.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.'

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Jeffries: "The Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures has been part of our fabric since the very beginning of our constitutional republic. It's incredible to us that Republicans have decided to draw a hard line in the sand. Judicial warrants should be required."
