Mike Johnson was covering up child rape a full year before Pam Bondi made it trendy.

Nazi tactic. Blame the victim. Blame the victim’s family. Unfortunately when good people resign they are replaced with Nazis willing and begging to do the unspeakable. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

Leavitt making explicit the implication I teased out here. Republicans are arguing that no one should get Medicaid to make sure that no single immigrant ever slips through the cracks and gets it. www.salon.com/2025/10/03/j...

Trump and Texas moved first. Now California must act. On Nov 4, voters choose our maps. #YesOnProp50

here's today's post: "fuckbrained old coot blithers his way through deranged press conference" — America’s Mad King has completely lost his mind. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Trump wants Republicans to keep their power in DC next year—and he wants to gerrymander Texas to do it. Live in TX? Join me and @standupamerica.com to stop the GOP’s sham redistricting effort: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

whatever else republican house speaker mike johnson (and the congressional republicans who serve under him) ever do in this life, this headline will last forever and ever, for their whole blessed lives. (gift link, no paywall) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/u...

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Some immigrants have gone a week without showers. Others sleep on bare floors. Medications have gone unprovided. As detentions have soared, former detainees, lawyers, family members and lawmakers tell us conditions in facilities across the country have become intolerable.

SCOOP: Rule changes uncovered by @aglantz.bsky.social reveal VA doctors could now discriminate against patients based on “national origin,” “politics” and “marital status”, meaning they could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats www.theguardian.com/...

President Trump earned around $57 million from his stake in a family-backed cryptocurrency firm last year “In a matter of months, the Trump family has reached into nearly every corner of the crypto industry.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

ICE got fancy hotel in Pasadena (until protestors got them kicked out) ICE gets fancy pay and BBB wants to give them $40,000 bonuses. National Guard gets shit pay and to sleep on the floor. worth considering and discussing disparity in compensation and treatment of US Military versus ICE--

For four long years I was told not to call what’s coming our way fascism but here we are:

SCOTUS makes decisions using the shadow docket. What do we call Republican budget bill coming out at 1 am, without a review of the contents by the American public? I call it theft and the continued transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% wage earners to the top 10% wealthiest. Kakisotracy in action.

When opposition to “nationwide injunctions” becomes a rightwing article of faith then SCOTUS takes inappropriate vehicles to try and end it (birthright citizenship case) and Republican members of Congress write ham-fisted bills. Watch @joeneguse.bsky.social go to work on Rep. Jim Jordan.

The Big Bullshit Bill will not only decimate Medicaid (something that *no* congressional district supports by more than 15%), it will also codify the Trump administration's proposed changes to the ACA and allow its federal subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will lose coverage.

Trump’s economy

They can come into your home & if you fight them they will charge you for obstructing justice. No warrant is needed, they can just go in if they feel like it. The gestapo are here people. Are you gonna wait in at home waiting to be taken next? www.thedailybeast.com/leaked-memo-...

Thank you 60 Minutes for calling out @paramont.bsky.social for appearing to kowtow to Trump so he will approve your merger.The stars of this network need to show their dissatisfaction of this capitulation, viewers should boycott their programming. Shame on you Paramount+. #nokings #FreePress

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Remember that guy that created a FAKE UNIVERSITY. I think it was called Trump University. You know the guy that lost a lawsuit for $25 million and had to reimburse the students. That guy. Guess what? That guy is now threatening to take away the accreditation of law schools and medical schools.

Like the SAVE Act, Senate Bill 16 threatens the voting rights of all Texans. Live in TX? Use @standupamerica.com’s tool and urge your state representative to vote NO on SB 16: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

At the Columbus, OH 50501 rally today. This is my heavily edited photo of a handmaid holding an upside “in distress” American flag atop the monument to William McKinley in front of the Ohio State House

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The CFPB has returned nearly $21 BILLION to over 200 million consumers since its creation in 2011 while costing roughly $9B over that same period. It has returned more than twice its cost to consumers. Only reason to eliminate this is if you were one of its targets; not one of its beneficiaries.

The United States is now a country where you can be picked up by secret police ~on accident~ and thrown in a El Salvador gulag, and then the federal government will fight tooth and nail to resist bringing you home, even after the Supreme Court says you should be released.

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers push back on DOJs bid to delay their response on what exactly feds are doing to bring the man back to the States from the prison it sent him to in El Salvador. The man's attys cite the administration's "stunning display of arrogance and cruelty." Story updated ⬇️

"So there will be many fewer regulators looking over the shoulders of insurers and hospitals, *and* the rewards for cheating the system have been greatly increased." prospect.org/health/2025-...

An Australian who has been living & working in America for 7yrs took a 2-day trip home to scatter his sister’s ashes. On his return to US, despite holding a valid working visa, he was detained for more than 36hrs, called “retarded”, had his visa cancelled & was then deported www.theguardian.com/...

The Republican Congress doesn't do much... unless it's canceling rules to protect consumers, then they are quite energetic. Here's a quick story on the House finalizing two resolutions to nullify rules capping overdraft fees and blocking scrutiny of Big Tech payment apps prospect.org/power/2025-0...
