Feeling your blood pressure rise watching the Sunday shows where they platform abusive jerks? The antidote is the dulcet sound of Andy McCabe and I discussing the weekly news on the latest episode of UnJustified. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Donald is so simpleminded. If insurance companies don't get paid, healthcare providers don't get paid. And they will expect US to pay cash for EVERY visit, med, and procedure.

"What was worse and undeniable was that the U.S. was now helping to underwrite Russian attacks...we were offering to help Russia at precisely the moment that the futility of their four-year escalation of a conflict that began in 2014 was becoming clear. Russia was no longer gaining ground."

This is a man hoping for a promotion, perhaps to Chair of the Joint Chiefs or he went rogue & he's auditioning for Sec Def bc he believes hegseth will be gone soon.

Punctuation is important…

The most powerful men in government have all been involved in sexual assaults. This is the Republican Party. 

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

"[T]here are going to be people jumping off the Trump train and we should be careful not to assume that their maneuvering is a belated embrace of liberal democracy. They should be vetted. So let’s get medieval on his limey ass."

Nuclear regulation developed for low-chance, high-risk scenarios. Similar to the risk of AI. A simple place to start is mandatory incident reporting. If something goes wrong, everyone gets to know. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/if-we-pay-for-safer-cars-why-wont

Bless these folks!

“Guys, they want us to go home.” 🔥 🇫🇷 French short film about what would happen to society if all the immigrants listened to angry old racist white men and left (aka the Republican agenda)

Watch @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social full conversation on the latest episode of It's Happening Here, out now on Apple, Spotify, Substack, and YouTube:

Yes exactly. It just did this! It’s not speculation or future-tripping. It happened!

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

Corporations: I’ll think about taking one of your annoying “surveys” and answer *your* questions when you go back to having humans in customer service to answer *my* questions.

And God said, I will send them without wings so no one suspects they are angels....

There's a derangement syndrome alright:

“.. And so the president of the United States has taken the logical next step: He is punishing South Korea, a loyal American friend, and tempting U.S. enemies to doubt America’s will to defend its allies.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

(Rod Serling voice): Imagine a world in which everyone was a content creator and no one had anything interesting to say.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

Rep Moran and I introduced the bipartisan AI Kill Switch Act today. This is urgent, common sense legislation to address the problem of an advanced AI model that has gone rogue and escaped its guardrails (OpenAI / Hugging Face incident) or had insufficient guardrails (Mythos 5 and Fable 5).

Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

American primeval by David Horsey.

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

Just now on the Senate floor, I called for an END to the AI program that is delaying and denying seniors the health care they deserve. We're voting right now: my colleagues should join me and END AI prior authorization in Medicare.

The Great American Experiment has taken a wrong turn.

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.

Democratic politicians telling us today how sad they are about Lindsey Graham's death because he purportedly had such a "great sense of humor" are why Democrats are currently struggling with a base angry and resentful at the evil agendas promoted by the likes of vile toadies like Lindsey Graham.

Trump's so-called “reorganization” of the Forest Service is an attack on America’s public lands.   I spoke with folks in Everett about what these cuts would mean for WA state's wildfire preparedness & prevention.

Seems like a good time to remind people the USWNT has won 4 World Cups! ⚽️

Protecting and expanding Social Security is not a question of affordability– it’s a question of values. We can deliver benefits through the rest of the century if the richest among us pay their fair share. @whitehouse.senate.gov

Did you know that the Fourth of July fireworks could put a dog through this much fear and anxiety? 😔 When choosing how to celebrate, keep in mind that it should be fun for everyone, no matter the species!

Damn. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

250 years of the land of opportunity. 🇺🇸 Land of the free, home of the brave. Out of many, one. Diversity is a strength. Proud to be an American.

During his two decades in the New Jersey Senate, Tom Kean Jr. consistently opposed paid sick leave for his constituents.

It's almost as if... scientists were right about C͟l͟i͟m͟a͟t͟e͟ C͟h͟a͟n͟g͟e͟...

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

Every time I watch PBS Newshour, I’m swiftly reminded of what an actual news broadcast should be.

Laughably tone deaf and not reading the room.

Just remember: when Trump said he "lifted" families off of SNAP—he really means he cut them out of it.   Now over 800,000 kids—AT LEAST—aren’t getting the help they need.

I could not agree more. We put our government up for sale to highest bidder, and it really hasn't been working out for us.
