The Army obligated another $40.2M to Hadrian, a 1789 Capital company where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner. Signed in July but only now public on USASpending, under DoD's 90-day reporting delay

Pete needs to be removed without hesitation.

So a book with two gay penguins will traumatize kids but a public execution wouldn't???

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.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Groundbreaking research shows long-term reversal of Duchenne muscular dystrophy via LEAPER 2.0: circ-arRNAs enable effective exon skipping in monkeys & humans, paving the way for innovative treatments.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow Trump's voter suppression database to move forward. It then ruled 9-0 to reject the GOP's gerrymander scheme in Missouri. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help support it by subscribing now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Nevada election officials said Thursday that 185 voters in the state who the Department of Homeland Security identified as noncitizens were all, in fact, citizens — the latest snafu in the department’s attempts to uncover illegal voters across the country. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

With 11 days until voter registration ends in Texas, election officials in counties across the state are scrambling to update voter rolls, a burdensome task during their busiest time of year. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

Mitch McConnell has health care. What's the problem?

A $50 million gift will fund Native student scholarships for the next five years and create a permanent endowment to support Indigenous students for generations.

While we slept, Donald Trump got approval to turn his personal crypto currency at World Liberty Financial into a BANK. The self dealing and corruption are about to be off the charts.

A man with a horrific antibiotic-resistant superbug infection has recovered after treatment with an experimental genetically engineered phage armed with a DNA-destroying CRISPR system 🧪 n=1 so can't draw firm conclusions, but it's promising www.newscientist.com/article/2584...

USA Today, which owns over 200 local newspapers across the country, has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. Anyone else alarmed by this?

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

E-scooter riders in England and Wales may face a higher risk of brain and internal organ injuries than motorcyclists and cyclists, according to a study in Scientific Reports. The authors recommend measures for increasing e-scooter safety. go.nature.com/4q01gnr 🧪

A General Many Hoped Would Lead the Army Is Forced to Step Aside. Gen. Christopher T. Donahue was seen as a rising star in the Army. But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth viewed him with skepticism. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/u...

General Christopher T. Donahue served in the U.S. Army from 1992 to 2026. In his final assignment, he was the Commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa. General Donahue was forced out of this position for poorly explained reasons in 2026. One of his talks on video: www.dvidshub.net/video/100804....

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

If Trump is among the five most evil and petty humans alive, Musk is without question among the five most evil and petty... ...*and* ungrateful. He builds nothing himself, he's a scofflaw, and he spends all day spreading hate. He pays others to do what he takes credit for.

Every single person whoever reads any news story about Elon Musk and his wealth should think to themselves that this man lied and lied for years to stay illegally in the US and then had American taxpayers fund his lifestyle for years and then made a trillion dollars off our backs

Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it

MAGAs are gutting: •SNAP—which 40M Americans need to eat •School Lunch—which 30M kids need every day •Medicaid—which 60M Americans need to survive •Housing Assistance—which 5M families need to live ALL to cut trillions in taxes for 800 Billionaires & give $70B to ICE gestapo Absolute MAGA fascism

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

NEW: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department just resigned. Even though he clerked for Clarence Thomas, perhaps the $1.7B heist was probably too much. Also note the Times (right) and the WSJ (left) refer to it as a settlement. The judge found IT IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. 1/

In the last month this former heroin addict approved increased production of Roundup (glyphosate), approved tanning bed use for children and made fruit flavored vapes legal. Are you feeling healthy yet?

John Roberts is one of the most successful proponents of white supremacist power in US history. It's every decent person's job to destroy his legacy.

Please enjoy my cartoon for Thursday's Toronto Star

Why won’t we respect him trying to destroy 60+ years of progress and enabling a mad man?

Remember when Trump said “we can't take care of daycare?” Now he wants $1 billion taxpayer dollars for his golden ballroom.

This is great news except that the fossil fuel industry will probably buy the patents for a few tens of millions (pocket change to them) and this invention will never see the light of day. #GreenSky 🧪 #OhTheCynicInMe
