Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing for AG is Wednesday. World Without Exploitation put up billboards in Texas, North Carolina, and Louisiana, targeting senators seen as most likely to break ranks. The message: Vote no, over Blanche’s mishandling of Epstein survivors, and release all of the files.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Paul Krugman is right: there is nothing “inevitable” about Social Security cuts. The crisis is political, not mathematical. Corrupt Republicans took new revenue off the table so they can force benefit cuts onto workers. Don’t swallow the gaslighting. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Ths is flying under the radar, but Russ Vought is advancing a new scheme to give Trump's cronies total control of nearly $179B in federal grant funds. Billions for lifesaving disaster relief and medical research would be subject to Trumpian loyalty oaths. Make no mistake: this is fascism.

This deep dive by @radleybalko.bsky.social into another 'free press' fraud is what real investigative reporting looks like... it's exactly the important type of work that Weiss is sidelining as she destroys 60 Minutes. The piece also has a spot on description of the Ellison/Weiss political scheme:

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

UPDATE: Mike Johnson said he has nothing to do with this dirty tricks operation. Which is interesting because what I reported was that it was linked to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the House Republican Super PAC. The CLF has declined to comment.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

BREAKING: Look at this. $DELL just won a five-year $9.7 billion Pentagon software agreement for the US military. But Trump also bought $DELL. He bought multiple times since February 10th, up to more than $5,000,000. On May 8th, he said: "Go out and buy a Dell." Unusual.

For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it. But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said
