C’mon Wisconsin, we can do better than a mealworm like Ron Johnson!

When Trump talked about ushering in a "new golden age," he was talking about a new golden age for his family's pocketbook.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

ICYMI: Most Democrats have education plans. Many of them have some very good pieces.

But Beshear has put education first and that is hitting with voters that Democrats need to reach.

#ICYMI: We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.

Not a single shred of ethics, competence, or sanity in that whole chart.

Again, it's not just that it is targeting MI, but Harmeet is targeting Wayne (Detroit and Dearborn) and not Oakland or Antrim, where there were criminal shenanigans by Trumpsters in 2020 or Washtenaw, where a non-citizen did unwittingly vote in 2024 (but got prosecuted after the fact).

Rep. Tom Tiffany, GOP candidate for Wisco governor, is all for this project. Vote accordingly.

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious conflict of interest.

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal.

Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government.

Let's look at the data.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.

Well, people that need health care, child care, and nutrition assistance don’t make a lot of campaign contributions. But billionaires and corporations sure do. Fix our utterly corrupt campaign finance system and a lot of other bad things will get better as a result.

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Hegseth Again Threatens Attacks on Iran’s Civilian Infrastructure

Pete Hegseth stood at a Pentagon podium this weekend and threatened to bomb Iran’s civilian power grid.

Under international law, intentionally targeting civilian energy infrastructure is a war crime.

@WatcherGuru JUST IN: $760,000,000 worth of oil shorts were reportedly placed 20 minutes before President Trump announced the Strait of Hormuz was open.

Everybody should be talking about this. It happens EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Oil CEOs Raked in Money From Trump’s Iran War Energy executives sold stock worth $1.4 billion in the first quarter on the back of a historic shock to the world’s crude supplies.

While your gas prices are skyrocketing, Big Oil executives have cashed out $1.4 BILLION in stock in a single quarter, a 15-year peak in insider selling.

In one quarter, Chevron’s CEO sold $104M, ConocoPhillips’ Chairman & CEO sold $54.3M, and Baker Hughes’ CEO sold $33M.

Trump Officials Pledge Swift Completion of Controversial Gas Pipeline

The Trump administration wants to fast-track a new, unnecessary gas pipeline through the Northeast, spreading toxic pollution in the New York-New Jersey Harbor and locking in decades of dependence on fossil fuels while forcing families to foot the bill to build it. We’re in court to stop it.

Well, you kinda have to give them points for originality.

In prison for life.
No chance of parole.
In solitary confinement.
No TV or internet.
On a vegan diet.

It could be hard to find any that were only one of those things.

Alligator Alcatraz phones were cut off. Then the beatings began, court docs say One attorney wrote in a sworn declaration that officers broke a detainee’s wrist and “pepper sprayed everyone.”

Why Climate Goals Aren’t a Lost Cause—Even If We Overshoot Them Earth will likely warm by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, but we can’t give up on trying to get temperatures back down

Overshooting 1.5°C looks likely—but it’s not game over. The key is limiting how far (and how long) we exceed it, then bringing temperatures back down with rapid cuts + carbon removal. Every fraction of a degree still matters.

We the jury, find the defendant not guilty, Your Honor.

Haha 🤣

Steve Bannon pissed his pants on stage at the World Economic Forum, Kash Patel is missing, Pete Kegsbreth is quoting Pulp Fiction as the Bible, RFK, Jr. eats raccoon penis, and Trump keeps using war to milk the markets. No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. Lock them all up.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?
