In 2024 the former CEO of a defense contractor made a stunning confession to two FBI agents. He alleged that was the ringleader of a massive pay-to-play operation, bribing senators with campaign contributions in exchange for govt contracts. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

🚨BREAKING: Susan Collins caught campaigning with a GOP Maine House nominee who joked about running over a drag queen, compared Pride flags to swastikas, and posted "they loot we shoot." She refuses to denounce him.

Bassam Tariq's YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER is unquestionably one of the year's great action movies and features Mahershala Ali's best performance since MOONLIGHT. My review via Screen Daily

Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump's second term: "We've lost morality. We've lost decency. We've lost respect for the rule of law. We've normalized verbal abuse. We've normalized bullying. Morality and integrity have gone out the window. We're supposed to elect our best, not our worst."

Have you submitted a comment against repealing the roadless rule yet? If not, now is a great time to help protect roadless wilderness! 🌲🌲

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social

ICYMI: Trump is working to repeal the Roadless Rule – potentially leaving 44 million acres of our public lands and forests open to development. Protect our forests! These are places where New Mexicans hunt, fish, pray, and connect with the land. Make your voices heard. (1/2)

Susan Collins making clear she won't do anything to stop a Republican policy that she concedes hurts her own state. Also notice how she's too much of a chicken to use the words "Trump" or "president" and instead resorts to "The Administration." #MEpolitics

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

This morning, I was notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 53th death on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We must continue to fight for accountability for everyone who has lost a loved one. And it’s time to end the use of all for-profit detention centers.

On July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by ICE in Houston while driving to work. He wasn't under investigation or a suspect—he was a father, worker, and community member. We demand accountability, the release of those detained with him, and an end to ICE collaboration.

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.

Another killing by ICE, this time in Maine. That’s twice in one week. How can America keep asking immigrant workers to work as usual if they are being shot dead on their way to work? Stop killing us.

JD Vance blocked on Twitter because we tweeted the statement he made about Trump 10 years ago--before naked opportunism set in. “Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.” --JD Vance on Trump

Just spent an hour scrolling videos of ecstatic New York City, my eyes filled with tears, a dopey smile on my face. And thought of this from my book Evil Geniuses, about America's racial transformation the last half century. The celebration of the Knicks was a celebration of America at 250.

One the day that Trump name should have been removed from the Kennedy Center, Trump's hand-picked group of toadies changed the Kennedy Center's charter to read that if Trump's name is removed then all funding MUST be removed from the Kennedy Center. They then stole $17 million from the Nat. Opera.

👀 “Article VI, Section 9, of the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature unlimited authority to set the retirement age for judges.” Virginia law provides VA Dems a simple solution to overturn the state’s rogue scotus’s redistricting ruling - retire it - and then appoint a new one.

The pro-democracy movement is already flexing its power in the streets and the voting booth. Now we need to harness our collective power as workers and consumers to demand an end to the oligarch-enabled Trump regime. Join us for the nationwide day of economic disruption on May Day: maydaystrong.org
