With the Strait of Hormuz blocked, policy expert Karim Sadjadpour says the war in Iran is becoming increasingly complicated: "I don't think President Trump ... understood what he was getting into." n.pr/41gW0A5
A tsunami of corruption is sweeping through Washington.
The Trump administration makes decisions based on how much they can enrich the wealthy and well-connected.
We must act before our global standing craters, our economy falters, and Americans pay for this for generations to come.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Kristi Noem is an absolute disgrace and we aren’t going to let up until Congress impeaches her.
Remind your representatives who they work for:
After Trump took down the Pride flag, New York officials put it back up with zip ties. Then they sued. This is perfect.

Nick Shirley: “30 voters registered at a California UPS store!” 🤔
Paul Mitchell: um, people live above it. Look up, bro. 🙃
As usual this dude’s *reporting* is full of holes
How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

In the least shocking news ever, the DOJ illegally redacted Trump's name from manyEpstein files. [And of course that doesn't count the ones they just didn't release because they are about Trump]

While Amazon touts the surveillance state enabled by its Ring cameras, remember...
Amazon's U.S. tax bill dropped by 87% in 2025, mostly thanks to Trump's tax cuts.
Meanwhile, its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion — and it announced 30,000 job cuts.
Is this the world we want to live in?
Always embarrassing @MarshaBlackburn predictably blaming the Nashville power crisis on DEI
This person should be nowhere near the Governor’s office
TN Republicans will do all they can to turn this situation into a way to privatize and enrich their friends
The more I read, the more convinced I am that 47 is the head of all this, not Epstien.
The Boss speaks.
I hope they didn’t think we forgot about impeaching Kristi Noem. 181 cosponsors and counting, 40k+ letters sent, and countless calls telling Representatives to get on board.
Let them know we aren’t slowing down. Send your letter here:

President Trump says he will move to close Washington's Kennedy Center for two years. It follows a wave of cancellations since Trump ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the building. n.pr/45GnJNr
This is good - the people‘s resistance is working.
And also, what hits me watching this is more people are going to get killed. Trump and ICE are going to keep escalating. Eventually a brownshirt will crack again and kill someone.
We need Congress to stop this. Defund ICE/Border Patrol/DHS.
Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:
“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”
"No one is illegal on stolen land."
- Billie Eilish, Grammys acceptance speech
The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously.
Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.
