The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina.
They choose not to do this!
What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common?
California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.
I hear Kash Patel does not want people to refer to him as J Edgar Boozer. Just FYI.
This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.
The Trump administration is removing protections for over 59 million acres of the National Forest System, opening untouched land to logging.
I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."
That Kash Patel, for instance, doesn’t understand that, as FBI head, he is expected to be um, responsible is just kind of odd.
It was obvious (to me) all along that all the oathbreaker Donald Trump’s picks on his 2nd bite were INTENDED to be incompetent, the better to break government so we wouldn’t miss it & fight back. That said, I am kind of bemused by all the officials who obviously regard their position as ceremonial.
"Loomer, reached for comment, was unmoved, insisting the women were indeed related, but that it didn’t matter either way. “I want all Islamic immigrants deported. I don’t support any of their asylum claims,” she said."
This lady is the evil. The type of person who should never get close to power.
God almighty, never in my life did I imagine something like this could happen—but RFK Jr’s MAHA movement keeps surprising us😢
Tobacco is the world’s number 1 cause of premature death & the tobacco industry is one of the most repulsive & cynical industries on earth

Yet another clear sign of dementia. The unwillingness for Republican senators and House members to take this seriously should disillusion, anger, and frighten everyone to their core.
A new wholly corrupt settlement handing your money to Trump cronies.
It’s notable for several reasons:

I’m seeing GOP pols accusing critics of the oathbreaker Donald Trump’s war of choice on Iran of disrespecting/attacking/failing to support Our Troops.
This is yet another echo from Viet Nam. That accusation was used with abandon by the people who wanted to continue that WarNotAWar.
I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages!
If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is
Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women
Priceless post from the official White House social media
They paid zero taxes and are gearing up to lay people off. This is not sustainable. We can't continue to support this toxic capitalism. Their "Marie Antoinette moment," is coming.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.
The CEO of United Airlines reportedly wants Trump to let his company merge with American Airlines.
That's a terrible idea.
Anti-competitive mega-mergers that stick consumers with higher fares are one of the main reasons flying sucks so much today.
They DID impeach Clinton for, IMO, the crime of depriving Bush I of his rightful 2nd term. The GOP Speakers ( & elect) who did it for the crime of having an affair (they sent Ken <ptui> Starr on a hunting expedition) were serial adulterers Gingrich & Livingston & serial child molester Hastert.

Yes - the oathbreaker Donald Trump is a SYMPTOM of the degradation of the GOP from a conservative political party to a reichwing power cabal, not the cause. A functional political party would never have let such an obvious incompetent with WAY too much baggage anywhere near power.
Hillary Clinton was right about everything.
Kamala Harris was right about everything.
Both would’ve been incredible Presidents and I remain proud AF to have cast my vote for them.
For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view.
Workers I spoke to are pissed.
Thank you. GWB seems to have been memory holed for all the things he did that had him in the running for “Worst POTUS Ever.” Like torture, ignoring warnings about 9/11, mishandling Katrina recovery (unless you were white & rich), “joking” about being dictator, appointing Roberts & Alito to SCOTUS…
good day for resignations
mr president
Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
This flew under the radar: Trump's new acting AG Todd Blanche shut down major DOJ investigations into crypto companies, dealers, and exchanges as Pam Bondi's second-in-command — all while holding at least $159,000 in crypto assets himself.
The fox is guarding the hen house.
Ok I'm bored and want to procrastinate work so let's do a thread instead. Wanna hear a story?
Alright then, story it is. So gather around, children, because now we're going to talk about the most important science book you've probably never heard of.
Ready? Off we go, then.
