“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus …
Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti.

They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Good’s death.

What don’t they want the public to know?

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.

Hunh. I missed that one.

CBS again bent the knee to Trump and blocked Stephen Colbert from hosting Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE?

We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.

Watch.

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings.

This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.”

“No,” her husband said.

I urge you to read this today.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.

Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Now that members of Congress are able to see what was redacted they are learning how Todd Blanche failed to comply with the law in countless instances, and it’s now about to get real because what DOJ was hiding is the most incriminating stuff.

A new proposal from the Trump administration would take away one of the main safeguards federal employees have when they are fired. It would strip an independent review board of its power to hear appeals from terminated workers and block those employees from taking their cases to court.

Please call the Senate they will vote very soon on whether to allow dangerous sulfide-ore copper mining on the edges of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Tell them to vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140 (H.J. Res. 140).

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

2/2 Atlanta rush hour while navigating 1,347 unfamiliar streets all named Peach something.

They called us the next summer but we had other plans.

Many years ago I had a summer camp job in western North Carolina. My coworker and I were among the only staff old enough to drive rented vans, so at the beginning and end of sessions we’d have to drive into Atlanta to pick up campers.

So, yeah—15-passenger van WITH TRAILER through 1/2

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
