Libraries are a cornerstone of American democracy. Yet President Trump and his extremist allies want to defund our libraries, ban books, and jail librarians. Here’s how we’re fighting back. #NationalLibraryWeek

One of the biggest lies in American culture is that the wealthy got wealthy by making morally good choices (ie working hard) and the poor got poor by making morally bad choices (ie being lazy and irresponsible) and that they both deserve what they got.

I think it is clear that one aspect of the US mismanagement of the war and now the negotiations is simply racism.

They can't understand the way that they were outmaneuvered. And they can't accept it.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

When are we going to talk about the fact that Elon Musk is arguing in multiple courts that he should be allowed to make and sell child pornography

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal.

It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

Line chart showing presidential approval rates for disaster aid requests submitted by Democratic- and Republican-led states, covering the period from the Reagan administration to today. The chart is based on a Politico/E&E News analysis of records from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

89% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Republican governor and two Republican senators

23% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators

Senate Dems (and even some Republicans) have been trying to pass TSA funding for a while now, but they can't because Trump ordered Republicans not to support any deal.

Trump is the reason why TSA isn't funded, and now he wants to play hero by going around Congress to fund it (illegally) himself.

Five Leadership Lessons from Robert Mueller His critical refrain — “If you have integrity, nothing else matters. And if you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters.” — matters especially now.

We need especially right now to remember the model of integrity and vision for public service by the Greatest Generation and leaders like Robert Mueller — I tried to distill some of the core leadership lessons that Mueller always talked about: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-leade...

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.

ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.

The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.

Budgets are moral documents.

Chris Murphy: "This is nonsensical. This is what happens when you put real estate developers and talk show hosts in charge of American national security."

The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.

It's interesting to see people being protective of TSA agents. Maybe because I remember before TSA existed and view the whole agency as part of the post-9/11 security theater assemblage.

They're not needed. Flying was more enjoyable before they were there. That agency can also be defunded.

“Progressive taxation is the single most important policy lever for reducing the power of the rich—not because it raises revenue that can be redistributed via public programs or directly to the poor, but because it imposes a de facto statutory maximum on income or wealth.” @econmarshall.bsky.social
