John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.
If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.
If you ask me, Sen. Jon Ossoff is sounding more and more like a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
Ossoff: I donât know who placed those trades, but Iâll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they wonât, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
Dear Media:
Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.
We donât need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.
The President is a rapist.
Donât stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles and tRumpâs involvement. Hold the pedo in chief accountable.
Iâm in! Last year was my first SFB and what a great, live event and fun year! Canât wait for the live draft in San Francisco in July and hope to connect with other Bay Area attendees again! Letâs go! @scottfish.bsky.social @fantasycaresorg.bsky.social #sfb16
The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/

Iran in Ghana @@IRAN GHANA â˘6h Read slowly. "We don't need the Strait." "Go open it yourselves." "Fine, we'll open it." "Actually, we're blockading it." "OK not blockading everyone." Five positions. Six weeks. Two of them today. And our armed forces just sat there, sipping tea, watching America negotiate with America over a strait Iran already blockades. Empires used to fall in centuries. This one can't hold a policy for an afternoon.
Iran in Ghana & @IRAN GHANA ⢠5h X The Pope prayed for peace. Trump tonight called him "WEAK" and said: "I don't want a Pope who criticizes me!" Let the record show who this man is: He went to Epstein's island consistently FOR YEARS! He paid hush money to a porn star while his wife was pregnant â and got convicted for it. 34 felonies! His missile hit a school full of innocent children in Minab. 168 dead! Six months ago, he said with his own mouth: "I'M NOT HEAVEN-BOUND" (the only honest sentence he's ever said). The Pope lit a candle for your DARK soul. But there are 168 little girls at heaven's gate who got there before you. BECAUSE OF YOU! They'll be the jury. And they remember your name. THE HELL AWAITS YOU, DON! @ 23 17 557 S2.1K i
Let's review: Trump threatened to destroy "a whole civilization." Then he begged for a ceasefire. Then he flew his VP across the world to negotiate for 21 hours. Vance left with nothing. So now Trump wants to blockade the strait he can't even sail through; the same strait Iran closed weeks ago and dared anyone to reopen. Your best generals failed. Your best diplomats failed. And your big move is.. doing Iran's job for them?!? Our Revolutionary Guard should send you a thank-you note. You're the cheapest contractor they never hired. No one can write a comedy this good.
Iran in Ghana & @IRAN GHANA ⢠18h BREAKING: IN A BRAVE MOVE, THE US JUST ANNOUNCED IT'S BLOCKING A STRAIT IT'S BEEN BLOCKED FROM. Read that again.
New Iranian tweets on the blockage and negotiations.
I haven't been this enthusiastic about a candidate in a long time! A young supporter created a fact sheet yesterday (and she fact-checked it)! #BecerraForGovernor

Filming ICE in public is protected speech. If someone with a badge loses their temper, your constitutional rights donât disappear. www.PAXIS.app explains:
Thatâs not âlaw and order.â Thatâs First Amendment retaliation.
FIGHT ICE WITH PAXIS so people know their rights: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS
"With his bloodthirsty utterances, his fierce loyalty to Trump and his appalling inability to manage this huge moment in world history, Hegseth is every bit the disaster that anybody sensible could have seen coming," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

Impeach and remove RFK Jr., asap.
He is a massive public health hazard. Save lives and end this nightmare.
Claude Mythos Preview is, of course, a big deal for cybersecurity. But perhaps more importantly, the model brings into stark relief how AI companies are amassing more power and influence than nation-states.

Good point Dion and the issues seem to be most evident in orgs that donât prioritize tech as part of the business. Shocking, huhâŚđŠ

I said it back in early 2025 but Elon Musk seizing the Treasury's payment systems and the federal payroll systems from career bureaucrats was one of the most important steps in achieving Trump's coup against our Constitution and no one was paying attention
If youâre going to rage-tweet a war, at least learn the difference between âreignâ and ârain.â đ¤Ą
Those are the words of a "potential" war criminal (pushed and encouraged by his "potentially" war criminal president)
These billionaires pay their workers so little that many of their workers need public assistance.
Meanwhile, their companies just got another round of tax cuts from a bill that gutted the public assistance their workers have to rely on to get by.
Trickle-down economics is a sham.
They just donât care..
Huge, impactful, disastrous move by Trump being almost totally ignored or misreported by major news organizations: www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...
