www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus.... this is YOUR tax money being used to pay off a Trump crony who plead guilty to lying to the FBI. A federal judge threw out this lawsuit but now Bondi is simply throwing cash to criminals. #michaelflynn

the media is sitting on a lot of serious Epstein news. It's unfathomable. #trumpisapedo

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

last week Rep. Maxwell Frost was punched in the face by a Trump supporter. Today, Ilhan Omar. This is stochastic terrorism and DJT's use of it has kept him in office. Toning down the 'rhetoric' on the Right? It's not in their interest. #ilhanomar #maxwellfrost

I'm not interested in hearing about 'improper training' while Americans suffer under state-sponsored terrorism and DHS quotes the Nazis on social media. #abolishice #impeachnoem #trumpisafascist www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

those 'down years' seem to coincide with one party's leadership in The Oval. Which absolutely everyone already knows unless they're a partisan hack or MAGA troll.

America needs a general strike. But, here's the issue: 67% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. How do they strike under such circumstances? When you wonder why destitute Russians fear rising up, take a lesson in what is being done to the US, bit by bit. It's not accidental. Desperation

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

@nbcnews.com ...really? Biden 'ignored inflation'? I find most of your coverage dead on, but this is subtle 'both sides' BS in what is supposed to be an analytic piece. Biden achieved the impossible 'soft landing' with a bill literally called the 'Inflation Reduction Act'. This is a disservice.

Charlotte nails it, here. I've run into a cadre of 'far-left' attention whores who have more buzz words than brain cells.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously. Mamdani isn't good enough for them. Nor is Rep. AOC. Nor is Sen. Sanders. No one is good enough for them. (thread)

I cancelled all my 2025 US trips after the election - not in protest, but in an abundance of caution. Would there be general strikes, mass protests or, you know, no air traffic controllers? Spending nearly a grand to fly into the GOP's banana republic simply wasn't sensible. abc7.com/post/hollywo...
