The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
British Lawmaker Ed Davey Tells Parliament That Trump's Oil Announcements Look Likes Insider Trading: "This looks like corruption of the very worst kind"
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
Barb McQuade nails it. This needs to be THE theme going forward. Trump and his sycophants and tech bro oligarchs continue to enrich themselves, while the House gets paid for not working and insists that the poor work for basic subsistence. THIS IS THE PROBLEM! This is the message going forward!
“They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."
Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.
This incident is spreading through Chicago running circles. A 67 year old man, driving back from a long run with his friends, is pulled from the car and thrown to the ground by ICE (or BP?) agents because he did... something.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?
All while the US government is shut down.
"America First," amirite?

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.”
The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
Washington doesn't want you to know this… But there’s ONE WEIRD TRICK that ends inflation and recession risks. And I can share it with you TODAY if you act quickly.
@anneapplebaum2000 on the current moment of political violence: For the first time, “we have a social-media system that encourages the most outrageous, the most extreme statements, and then rewards them financially.” #TAF25

Most folks just don't realize how many "local news" programs across the country are a prepackaged script from a right wing company with their own agenda.
Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are the two people taking it most directly to Trump these days, & they are clearly getting in his head. I asked Pritzker about this directly, as well as a series of Qs going to the Dem brand.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills.
Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote.
WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.
Answer me this: if Trump says he's "sealing" the border and deporting all the "criminal" immigrants, why then do we need to keep EXPANDING detention centers (concentration camps) and wildly expanding the budget for ICE? It sure sounds like he doesn't have much faith in his own immigration strategy!
Yes, the NYT actually thought this was worthy of their reporter's time and the precious space in their paper. This is how you normalize the cruelty and blatant power grab of authoritarianism. What the fuck do the brains at the NYT not get???
Andrew Weissman just said on MSNBC that the trump regime pressuring the University of Virginia to force their president to resign was being done "cavalierly". Probably the only thing in the news today that gave me a little chuckle.😊
We need to stop treating the trump regime like they're adults. They are not. They are spoiled, petulant, cruel children who have gotten their way and gotten away with too much for too long.
So let's see judges and the adults in Congress cut through the bullshit and make them all pay.
ENOUGH!!
Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.
