I asked Kevin Warsh whether his secret $100 million was invested in any companies affiliated with the Trump family, Chinese-controlled companies, or financing vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein.
He refused to answer.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer was the latest Cabinet secretary to be shown the door. Her exit is yet another sign that Trump's second term is not unfolding as he may have hoped.

ICE has been using a Navy logistics contract to outfit detention warehouses with minimal oversight. New documents show it may want its own construction contracting vehicle — one that's faster and less transparent.

European Court of Justice says measure by PM Viktor Orban's government breaches EU law 'on a number of separate levels'.
“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.

Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump.
The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms.
This isn’t a race to the bottom.
It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.
This black-and-white studio portrait from the early 1900s shows Raden Adjeng Kartini (1879–1904), the groundbreaking Javanese noblewoman, educator, and advocate for women’s rights whose letters and activism became a cornerstone of Indonesian feminism and national awakening. In the image, the young Kartini appears in a classic head-and-shoulders composition, positioned slightly off-center against a softly lit, plain backdrop accented on the left by dark, feathery palm or bamboo fronds that add a subtle tropical touch. Her dark hair is elegantly pulled back into a neat traditional Javanese bun adorned with a small white flower or ornamental accessory, framing a youthful face with smooth skin, and a calm, thoughtful expression—her gaze directed slightly to the right of the viewer, lips gently parted in a poised, intelligent demeanor that conveys quiet determination and introspection. She wears a delicate white kebaya-style blouse of fine woven fabric featuring intricate lace trim and subtle embroidery along the high collar and front, evoking the refined elegance of Javanese aristocratic dress at the turn of the 20th century.
Raden Adjeng Kartini was a pioneering Javanese noblewoman, educator & advocate for #womensrights & education whose short life and powerful letters made her a national heroine and enduring symbol of Indonesian women’s emancipation.
She was born #OTD in 1879 and it's Kartini Day in #Indonesia.
Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.
Make sure to vote YES.

Remember in 2015, when Sen. Tom Cotton and 46 of his Republican colleagues wrote to Iran in order to undermine their own country’s negotiating position during delicate nuclear negotiations?
As talks in Islamabad continue, I keep thinking about that GOP sabotage effort.

Donald Trump's Fed Chair nominee could not even say Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
He is nothing more than a sock puppet.
When Donald Trump gave Live Nation-Ticketmaster the green light to keep overcharging fans, guess who stepped up?
State Attorneys General. Jurors. Everyday people who are tired of getting scammed by giant companies.
This is how we win.
He’s a complete moron.
He still hasn’t “won” Iran.
Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.
Of course they are concentration camps. And @anatosaurus.bsky.social is right that once you accept the euphemism you are halfway to normalizing the thing.
Donald Trump is now peddling the fantasy that he could have "won" Vietnam in five months. Truly remarkable coming from the same man who invented "bone spurs" to stay home while others his age were on the front lines. A masterclass in cowardice-fueled revisionism.

Color photograph of Dr. Dianne K. Newman (born 1971), the pioneering American molecular microbiologist and geobiologist whose interdisciplinary research at the California Institute of Technology has transformed our understanding of microbial metabolism in oxygen-poor environments, ancient Earth geochemistry, and modern applications in chronic infections and sustainable ecosystems. In the image, Newman appears in a warm, close-up head-and-shoulders composition, positioned slightly right of center and looking directly at the viewer with a gentle, knowing smile and bright, intelligent eyes framed by rectangular black glasses. Her dark, wavy, shoulder-length hair falls naturally around her face. She wears a simple black V-neck top, a delicate gold chain with a small heart-shaped pendant and small pearl stud earrings. The background is a softly blurred laboratory or research office setting filled with wooden shelves, glassware, bottles, scientific equipment, and storage containers—evoking the active, hands-on environment where her groundbreaking work takes place. The lighting is natural and even, highlighting her face while keeping the scientific surroundings visible but unobtrusive.
Caltech molecular microbiologist & geobiologist Dianne Newman launched the field of molecular geomicrobiology, which explores how microorganisms have shaped Earth's evolution over billions of years.

A dropdown menu presenting options for different ICE detention data-points to overlay on a map visualizer.
A map of the United States, covered in multi-colored placemarkers. Each dot on the map represents an ICE field office, detention center, check-in office, or proposed warehouse.
The question we get asked the most? "Why doesn't your tracker list existing ICE facilities?" Short answer: it does!
Use the dropdown above the map to see hold rooms, field offices, detention centers, and more. Best viewed on a desk/laptop. This data helps visualize the scope of ICE's jail network.
I think a lot of us feel this way much of the time in these dark days.
Please know you're needed and matter, for everything we do has a ripple effect. We're all connected on this beautiful planet.
We're stronger together.
We make a difference together.
We'd all be diminished if you didn't exist.

Dear Virginia (the state) ;
you have chance to stand up to Trump by voting yes on your newly drawn maps. Trump thought blue states would be too afraid to fight fire with fire, while red states redistricted away. My home state stood tall and we won new maps by a large majority. Let’s go. check MAGA!
