1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
It's not just a lie. It's copied from a satirical website.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s a war on working families’ health and wallets.

Can we get our $40 billion back please?
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
I hope @jerilryan.bsky.social brings the heat again. The #WritersGuild of America stands behind @jimmykimmel.com. They need to strike against all #ABC shows he is returned to air and the network affirms its commitment to #FreeSpeech.

"THIS IS...PATRIOTISM" graphic.
Many Americans suspect our nation is on the verge of becoming a dictatorship — and across the land, we are coming together to defend our democracy. In my hometown, more than a thousand of us rallied together for the second time this past Saturday. As I said to my neighbors, “This isn’t liberal versus conservative or Democrat versus Republican. (God-willing, a time for that healthy political discourse will come later.) This is more fundamental than that: It’s freedom versus autocracy. This isn’t America-bashing…it’s patriotism. People from across the political spectrum are waking up to our national emergency, and it’s time for blue and red to stand together for democracy. And that’s why I wear my purple shirt!”
The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!
There is a much too rarely mentioned but essential difference between Donald Trump and Abrego Garcia: Abrego Garcia is not a convicted felon.
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments
“Trump envoy suggests dividing up Ukraine like post-war Berlin”
We told you that Putin owns Trump.
Musk's DOGE goons physically dragged a high-ranking Social Security executive from his desk for not going along with their plan to list more than 6,000 migrants as dead despite being alive.

Pretty much the same amount Republicans promise to “save” in this budget is what the IRS could have collected from tax cheats and wealthy/sophisticated filers WITHOUT RAISING A SINGLE TAX.
But instead somebody somewhere will lose out on healthcare. Stupid and cruel.
SCOTUS doesn't have original jurisdiction. It had to get through lower courts. But it was such a WTF issue, the Court stayed it to ensure they could then take it and slam Trump with a 9-0 (!) decision.
9 to O!
Trump lost a bid to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by plaintiffs known as the Exonerated Five (formerly the Central Park Five)
Don't forget to make your weekly call today to demand Hegseth's firing. 202-224-3121.
This is from the 2022 ACMs, but still awesome. It might explain why she doesn't mention Trump for those wondering.
You’ll notice that when Musk delivered his bogus “when we make mistakes we correct them quickly” statement in the cabinet meeting he chose to mention suspension of Ebola funding and not the firing of workers who maintain U.S. nuclear weaponry.
No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”
Encourage your local, state, and federal representatives to join BlueSky if they have yet to do so.
Actually, TASS is one of the more reliable Russian outlets. It's RT and Sputnik that are basically Kremlin megaphones.
Telegraph editorial:
"Mr Trump and Mr Vance were indisputably in the wrong, factually, geographically and morally."
