I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.
I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.
We don't know who requested the meeting between Jeffries & Kushner but Jeffries should never have agreed to it. Trump has seen polls showing Dems taking the House. Why should Dems meet to reach common ground after he has ruled like a dictator? No compromise. Just kick his ass.
El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.
It’s striking that Douthat has been at the NYT all these years.
The right has built a closed media ecosystem on the (false) belief that legacy media is a closed ecosystem.
Meanwhile, a rightwing intellectual mediocrity like Douthat kept chugging along at the Times.

The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028.
They did not boo.
They did not walk out.
They just sat there and ate their dinner.
The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.
NN: Should networks air Trump's speech?
CARR: Of course. Any time the president delivers news or content in primetime, broadcasters should make sure public can see it
N: Do they have a responsibility in terms of TV licenses?
C: Broadcasters have an obligation to operate in the public interest
Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸
Nine planets around the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted
One sweet world
Around a star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath, I’m swimming
Happy Earth Day.
We’ve only got one.
Let’s be good to her.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane
Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”
Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.
QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?
WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.
Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

Daniel, you say you’ve been organizing in the streets.
Real organizers don’t stand around with their hands in their pockets while others do the work.
Let’s stop pretending.
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!
Who’s next?
One demotion cannot detract from accountability.
Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.
I’d just like to point out it appears Alex Pretti was holding an iPhone in his hand just before he was murdered by Trump’s lawless thugs. Tonight Tim Cook attended a private screening of Melania’s movie at White House.
Let that sink in.
If you work at Apple, Zoom, Amazon and AMD (not to mention Palantir or Nvidia) i think you should organize, unionize, and hold your fascist enabling CEO accountable.
You are powerful together
An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:
The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law
"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just…didn’t?"
A big question from @snipy.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's PN:

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us
Noem: "What happened was our officers were out trying to get a car stuck out of the snow when they were surrounded and assaulted and blocked in by protesters ... this was an act of domestic terrorism" (It was 40 degrees in Minneapolis yesterday and snow was melting ... )
Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.
Once again, I think citizens of democratic cities and states need to start discussing the odd situation in which we find ourselves — paying the bulk of taxes going to a mafia govt that wants to disenfranchise and kill us.
it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants
1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years
But we've identified 10 promise keepers:

Clorox
Eversource Energy
Holland & Hart

Whirlpool

How soon can we get Mamdani to pry Newsmax out of the fucking taxi cabs? It's a goddamn humiliation that tourists land at our airports, can't take mass transit into the city, and then have propaganda and lies blasted at them from state-controlled channels.
Found the Associated Press article where the existence of this letter was first disclosed two years ago, in response to a FOIA request
It's definitely real

From an interstellar comet to breathtaking auroras and from brand-new rockets to iconic space telescopes, here are some of our favorite images from the cosmos in 2025
TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.
Once again, not a single member of the press corps stands up for their female colleague being verbally abused by the President.
Trump is a historic disgrace, but every single person in that room standing in compliant silence is complicit.
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan
Dear @angryblacklady.blacksky.app, there's a super sweet story of a woman who works with adults in a Memory Care unit and she discovered that @theonion.com in physical form is a great way to help dementia patients pass the time and laugh again. FYI and have a great Thanksgiving feast!

Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
