Honestly, I'm surprised Hegseth still calls it the "Department of the Navy" and not the "Department of Aquamen" or something else a fifth grader would think sounded cool

"The closure will displace several hundred students and overwhelm local schools like the Ravenswood City School District, which is bracing for students from the East Palo Alto campus ... .

"Officials from the district said the shift could cause 'an immediate crisis' without additional space ... ."

No Work, No School, No Shopping: May Day Training Call · Indivisible This May Day, we’re calling for a day of No Work, No School, No Shopping. We're flexing our economic power as workers, students, and everyday people to send a clear message to Trump: we will not do...

At this time tomorrow, we’re hosting a May Day training that will cover what “No Work, No School, No Shopping” means and the many ways you can tap into the day of economic disruption on May 1. We will also dig into the strategy behind economic noncooperation and why we’re taking action now.

Dr. Vin Gupta warns a new American Lung Association report shows over half of U.S. children live with poor air quality.

Nearly 150 million Americans are affected—and experts say it could get worse.

Especially when we have a non-functioning EPA.

Fifth sitting member of Congress who has died in office since Trump II began. Four of the five have been Democrats.

This is a very good resource. I don't know how @taniel.bsky.social does this but he makes highly technical stuff like this very easy to follow and use:

Your State-by-State Guide to the 2026 Supreme Court Elections - Bolts Abortion, redistricting, and ballot access remain heated issues as voters face dozens of supreme court races across 32 states this year.

I decided to write about at each & every one of the 32 states with supreme court elections this year.

Why? On abortion, redistricting, death penalty, & more, these institutions & their elections remain so critical.

So here's everything you need to know. NEW from me:

Correction: The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Republicans.

And evidently, voters are not happy about it. That's why they turned out to vote "Yes" on Virginia's counter plan — to protect their own voices as Trump tries to drown them out. https://bit.ly/4mJbgQh

Pennsylvanians have an important choice to make this fall: a governor who protects your reproductive freedoms or a governor who attacks them.

The difference is stark.

So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

We won't forget any of this, Marco.

You'll never be the president.

You've sold your soul for NOTHING.

Two Iranian Women in ICE Detention Are Not, In Fact, Related to Qasem Soleimani, Documents Show After Laura Loomer pointed to two women she claimed were connected to the late Iranian military commander, they were arrested and remain in immigration detention. One is now gravely ill.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.

Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

So, the guy who thinks that witches have taken over California is now the acting Secretary of the Navy? Super.

Why can’t we rely on Canada, did our government do something that alienated them

Tulsi Gabbard’s dangerous war Trump's hatchet woman is weaponizing classified intelligence like never before.

Gabbard showed that she had learned the lesson of how to survive in Trumpland: She released more intelligence documents to discredit a Trump foe.

She should send them this

The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

One reason critics tend to accuse the Democratic Party of being a kind of Washington Generals to the GOP is that for decades the Republicans have been really explicit about understanding the Democrats as exactly that, and it seems to shock them if and when Democrats don’t play that role.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Trump initiated this arms race. trib.al/1kgPPR5

So by declaring the Virginia initiative “not good,” he inadvertently confirmed the actual Trump-GOP position: Republicans should be allowed to rig elections to maximum benefit, and Democrats should roll over and accept it.

VAN HOLLEN: You said you disputed some of my facts. Do you dispute that Sheikh Tahnoon through his company invested $500m in World Liberty Financial just before the inauguration?

LUTNICK: I'm not aware of that


VAN HOLLEN: Seriously? It's been so widely reported

RFK Jr. tries and fails to defend cuts to NIH research and preschool programs The HHS secretary tried to defend NIH cuts by pointing to the national debt. The closer one looked at his pitch, however, the worse it appeared.

On the one hand, the White House budget wants to increase defense spending by roughly a half-trillion dollars, while ignoring deficit reduction.

On the other, RFK Jr defended “painful” NIH cuts — by pointing to the national debt.

The closer one looks, the dumber it appears.

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”
