Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

So, last night, a judge issued a court order. This morning? CNN, MS NOW, and Politico reporters are still locked out of the White House. But…rest easy; Xi's inside. With Chinese state media. Yeah no shit Beijing's cameras get in. America's don't.

👏Judge Rules Homeland Security Plan to Cut FEMA Staff in Half Is Unlawful The judge said the plan would hinder the agency’s ability to respond to disasters. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/u...

GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers voted against legislation guaranteeing health care for first responders sickened by the Sept. 11 attacks. On 9 separate votes or legislative actions between 2003-2010, he opposed, tried to block, or sought to restrict federal health care funding for 9/11 responders.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Houthis just filmed a warehouse full of US-made armor they took off Saudi-backed forces after Mocha fell. Shot on an iPhone. Such a damaging image! The coalition’s decade-long war in Yemen is ending in captured American equipment & open humiliation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

Breaking news: A federal judge ruled President Trump’s IRS lawsuit, which led to a now-abandoned proposal for a $1.8 billion payout fund, was filed for an “improper purpose” and referred the attorneys involved for potential disciplinary proceedings.

UPDATE: Wired has picked up the story. www.wired.com/story/leak-e...

Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment. WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They didn’t need scaffolding when they put the letters up 🤔

Profoundly sad. I’ve never seen this - or thought about it, which is shaming. Thank you for this.

A jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. Now, the DOJ is investigating her. This is exactly why survivors stay silent.

This makes me furious. As this delusional psychopath destroys the quiet grandeur of Washington DC, he is pulling the funding from the National Park Service. Destroying the city and pulling funding from National Parks across the USA. There is nothing he can’t and won’t fuck up.

The guy who tried to overthrow our government has his defense lawyer controlling our money to pay people who tried to overthrow our government.

It was a theft. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Our taxes to pay for Violence! The has got to be the line, People!

Genuinely wonder what would happen if, say, 50 million Americans refused to pay their taxes because they’re being spent unconstitutionally

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Bird flu spreading, hantavirus popping up, measles spreading, public health systems gutted, and Trump appoints Don Jr.’s turkey-hunting buddy to oversee the FDA. What could possibly go wrong?

He has made Americans vulnerable to outbreaks of viruses.

Oh, look what I saw on the beach!

Trump’s Budget Targets Out Last Line of Defense Against Pandemics and Environmental Crises #CounterPunch

We need to do more than win in November. We need a massive blue wave. The only way to stop the MAGA shenanigans of the Trump regime is to win big, limit their power, and then do it again in 2028. Please follow the people on this list who are on the frontlines fighting for US. go.bsky.app/K6JGV3h

Just a reminder—as we’re all reacting to the First Lady’s statement on the Epstein files yesterday. This guy is still serving in the administration.

The public DOES have a right to know.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris just gave the clearest signal yet she’ll run for president again in 2028. “Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris told the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network convention.

⭕ #TODAY Hundreds march through the streets of downtown #Chicago chanting, “U.S. out of the #MiddleEast!”

The USA has been humiliated by a 4th rate power. We have squandered billions, trashed our allies, had our troops killed and maimed for what? So Iran can extort $100-200 million a day? Congress could have avoided all this if they had voted on War Powers Act. GOP owns this disaster.

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

"He wanted it big. He wanted lots of gold, lots of marble. He wanted visitors awestruck by his architectural expansion of the country’s symbolic seat of power." {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

The press continues to sane-wash an obviously INSANE American president. 😳👇

Never in the history of our species has such enormous physical power been so recklessly, casually and clumsily wielded & threatened in the world. It is blindingly contrary to humanity’s welfare that this orange menace is still permitted to occupy the presidency. Shame on the GOP for enabling this.

It Should Be a Bigger Story That the President of the United States Is Fucking Insane rudepundit.blogspot.com/2026/04/it-s...

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.
