Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

propublica.orgThat Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election DenialA previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Violating the First Amendment to hide the record of all their violations of the Fourth Amendment.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries has now been speaking for 8 hours straight against the Big Beautiful Bill. He just got a standing ovation for this: "It's extraordinary to me, Mr. Speaker, you got folks in this town talkin' about 'drainin' the swamp!' Guess what? You ARE the swamp! YOU are the swamp!"

Trump and Ryan Mackenzie promised to fight for working Americans. Now they’re pushing the "Big Beautiful Bill," slashing Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the country's richest people who had VIP seats on day one at the inauguration. The biggest bait and switch in history.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in U.S. history. The Signal debacle is a grave warning that must be heeded. The lives of service members and America’s national security are at stake. Hegseth must resign now, before dangerous errors lead to horrifying consequences.

I think it is pretty important for folks to absorb the difference between "we might not be able to stop him from doing this" and "we can't do anything." You can slow it down, fight it in the courts, shape public opinion and draw attention to raise the political cost and so on.

i have plenty of thoughts on why it matters that this is an illegal order but here i’ll just comment that i think liberals who throw their hands up and say “it doesn’t matter” have self lobotomized themselves into thinking that trump is god king of america

You are up to date.
