The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Great question! One that has baffled me for years.
What does Trump have over his people that they are so eager to sacrifice their souls and every shred of their dignity to grovel at his cloven hooves in such abject fealty? Their obsequiousness transcends far beyond being merely surreal.
Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
Today’s order concluding Illinois v. Trump confirms what's been clear to the people of our state from the beginning:
Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to occupy our streets was a reckless and illegal abuse of power.
It says more about the U.S. population than Donald Trump. We knew what he was capable of from his first term. We didn’t care.
More than a trademark, it’s his entire product line.
Fox News: Tim Walz: “We've got a feeble-minded, trigger-happy president who plunged us into a war where no threat was present, with no clear objectives and no exit plan. We need to call that what it is. That's fascism.”

John Roberts’ Wife Made Millions From Bribes
Roberts accepted $10 Million in bribes disguised as recruiting fees from Law firms with cases pending before the Supreme Court.

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
I can’t get over the fact that no one does anything!!! No impeachment?
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.
Largest renewable project in U.S. history - 3.5 GW of wind in New Mexico - begins delivering power to California and Arizona.
@CaliforniaISO has taken operational control - will count as in-state wind
Will speed up California's push for 100% WindWaterSolar

Agree that citizens united was a blatant attempt to buy elections.
Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again. Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.
This!
“Cabinet members, who owe their positions to Trump and who likely recognize they will never rise to such power again in a merit-based system, will probably not question Trump's mental acuity.” -Heather Cox Richardson

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
Our government is willfully hiding evidence of crimes to protect the criminals! This should have everyone up in arms!
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
Thanks to Trump, I get to pay a small fortune in taxes while 88 companies paid a grand total of $0 in federal income taxes. Here are a few:

they lie with impunity. America is being destroyed by the Republican Party
Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time Saturday, joining preschoolers at a child care center for a book reading and singalong.

Donald Trump is a reflection of what America has become: a nation comprised primarily of uneducated, arrogant, racist buffoons without a conscience or even basic social skills, scamming their way thru life with impunity while believing that laws apply only to other people— never to them.
America needs to do this.
Everyone knows it. Some choose to hold the position that he won, but they know he didn’t.
But how was he harmed? He wasn’t!
That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!
The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history
