The "Science Guy" said the White House's proposed budget could spell serious trouble for the space agency.

I cosponsored articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth is the most unqualified SecDef in history. He helped launch Trump’s unconstitutional war in Iran, endangered US servicemembers, and has committed war crimes—including attacks on children.

He needs to be removed from office.

It's raining on CAs Central Coast and "Raul" a strawberry worker, reminds us, "Rain or shine, we farm workers are out laboring in the fields. We work hard to plant, care for and harvest the crops that feed families across America." #WeFeedYou

Just as Obama Denounced Rev. Wright, Catholics Should Denounce Trump The 44th president made a tough call for the sake of his campaign. Trump supporters should make a similar one for their own salvation.

Bingo! If he isn’t the Antichrist, he’s giving it his best shot. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

If Adolf Hitler were suddenly reincarnated and installed inside the American government, one of the first things he would do is start investigating organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The SPLC is America's early warning system for fascist, white supremacist takeovers of our country.

The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.

Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

"Americans are not asking you to gut protections for the red fox, or the right whale, or the sea turtles, or the manatees. Oil and gas lobbyists are."

@repstansbury.bsky.social nails it: The Endangered Species Act is both effective and popular. Gutting it is the exact opposite.

Not a penny to make life more affordable for American families, but $70 BILLION for ICE to terrorize our communities.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

In my experience, meeting with alcoholics at 'happy hour' without offering drinks is:
1) anything but happy;
2) guarantees a very short meeting.

What a conundrum.

Only Maga attorney willing to weaponize DOJ.
Only dumb attorney willing to be Maga.
Maga attorney incapable of weaponizing DOJ.
Only smart attorney capable of weaponizing DOJ.
Smart attorney refuses to weaponize DOJ.

Result: Fustercluck of the first order.

The Police Benevolent Association is suing the Civilian Complaint Review Board in an effort to return to an era of secret police misconduct records.

Subpoenas were issued in probe of Russia ‘conspiracy,’ then DOJ clawed them back, sources say The Justice Department sent subpoenas to witnesses, and then withdrew them, in its investigation of former CIA Director John Brennan for his role in the Russia investigation.

The DOJ has begun withdrawing several subpoenas that had been issued just days prior in a criminal probe of former CIA Director John Brennan for his role in the Russia investigation, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The 2026 G20 Summit could have brought millions in revenue and worldwide visibility to a number of American cities.

Instead, Miami appears to have benefitted because it is home to Trump’s Doral resort—which he selected as the host venue.🧵

Doesn't look like agreeing to Trump's absurd demand for an end to edited interviews got you much, CBS. Maybe next time choose *not* to get extorted?

This is a long think piece, but I argue that Trump's Iran catastrophe may disrupt his efforts to consolidate his authoritarianism, but even more, may provide cause to go after his Tech bro donors and data centers.

Plans to warehouse ICE detainees don’t address the plumbing problem An MS NOW review finds a lack of DHS planning for drinking water and wastewater that could scuttle the next phase of mass deportation.
