Billionaires didn’t prop up Trump for just a few years of fat contracts and get out jail free cards. Until they are put in check, their oligopolies broken up, their hold over state and federal governments shattered, our national nightmare will continue. Be single-minded in this pursuit.

We urgently need a federal privacy law to protect our privacy from big tech companies who spy on us on our phones and social media, to protect us from Flock cameras that are being improperly accessed by folks who are using that information to target innocent people.

Schmitt: Did you attend a concert wearing an anti-Trump shirt? Smith: I wore a “No Kings” shirt. It used to be a bipartisan American sentiment.

What is worse than a system that requires billions of people to work long hours for low pay often until death? A system that simultaneously destroys the habitability of the earth? Nothing is worse. The system must be uprooted and ended completely. Or we all die. Not reformed. Ended.

Republicans don’t give a damn about the national debt. Even in times when they say the economy is percolating, they pile on deficit spending to help their favorite donors get even richer. Republicans pretend to worry about the budget as an excuse for screwing over the poor.

ICE murdered another person.

NEW: He was picking up a work crew to take them to construction site at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. ICE showed up. And now this small business owner, the father of three American citizens, is dead. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

Historians are going to have a hard time documenting how we completely defeated Iran on day one of the war only to offer them $300 billion three months later to stop fighting.

crazy that if you harbor self-hate you will think that everyone hates you, but there's only one man in the US who can visit new york city and get boo'd from every corner of madison square garden and general city

US President Donald Trump was met with loud boos from the crowd at Game 3 of the NBA Finals as the anthem played before tipoff. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4alDFH7

The corruption keeps on rolling out.

Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

Clearly these are CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

We're suing Kash Patel's FBI to secure records to see if his Winter Olympics vacation was for work or play. We already submitted a FOIA, but the FBI said it would take 2,010 days for an answer. The American people shouldn't have to wait. We're seeking answers NOW.

Of course the scientists & people tracking & preventing this were fired by DOGE.

Brooke Rollins in November: We have screwworm under control. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026. Beef prices continue to rise. Screwworm is now found in the US. (We were declared free of indigenous screwworms in 1966) Biden had a war on cattle? How did I miss that? But beef was cheaper then!

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

Instead of musicians, he wants to make the 250 celebration about….himself, and give a speech. A rally. In the history of reading rooms, he’s the worst room-reader. He doesn’t even know there’s a room. And even some followers have had enough.

Yup.

Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social

Now that America’s 250th is officially a Trump rally, someone should sue to stop it. He’s spending public money on this spectacle and the only fig leaf was that it was non political.

Inflation hasn’t been this bad in years. Trump took a healthy economy and ran it into the ground with reckless tariffs and a Middle East war that is driving up the cost of everything from groceries to gas.

Recession warning lights blinking now Heather Long: This is stunning. Personal savings rate April 2025: 5.5% Personal savings rate April 2026: 2.6% That's a sharp plunge. It underscores how squeezed Americans are right now with higher prices and incomes not keeping up.

My team uncovered that foreign enemies are targeting U.S. servicemembers in war zones by buying their location data. The threat to national security posed by data brokers has never been more clear. We need to dismantle the surveillance advertising industry.

Scoop: Central Command is getting reports that military personnel are being targeted using commercially available location data. Few details available, but it’s a sign that the tech industry’s advertising-surveillance complex is having consequences on the battlefield. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Prior to the Trump administration, American health agencies were uniquely positioned to combat outbreaks like this But then Trump and Elon Musk dismantled USAID and pulled us out of the WHO Now, the only question is, how many will die because of their callous, arrogant incompetence

When do we wake up to the ongoing reality of Trump and his team actively weakening the Western alliance and strengthening Russia at every move. For years. With devastating effect. Not a hoax. A scandal and a crisis.

The deleted records covered the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases, along with rioters who beat police officers with flagpoles, hockey sticks, and bear spray.

The DOJ’s website used to have hundreds of press releases documenting every arrest, conviction, and sentencing from January 6th. Those records are gone now. The Trump administration confirmed it removed the pages and called the documentation “partisan propaganda.”

Source after source told 60 Minutes they fear today’s insider trading scandal about military secrets is tomorrow’s national security scandal. If market-watchers can spot irregular trades, surely enemies can, too. And they’ll make their war plans accordingly. cbsn.ws/4uSxuCf

To be clear, the eight Iranian women who were allegedly political prisoners set for execution and saved by Trump are nonexistent and generated by AI. The 170 Iranian schoolgirls who were blown to smithereens by Trump's orders were all very real, and all are very dead.

Let’s live today like we are free and rid of the fascists. Care for our neighbors and withdraw our attention and cooperation from our soulless overseers. WE can be together NOW. Today. We do not need to, and must NOT wait. Our lives and communities are here this moment. Grab life. Share life.

All war is founded in stupidity. Imagine the kind of world we could create if, instead of war, we pursued science and life so aggressively. If we funded feeding families, saving kids, clean drinking water, we eliminated homelessness, we connected states and nations and we just helped.
