“Know this, justice and accountability are not favors granted by the powerful.”
More of this, please! (Note: This video is 5 days old. Since it was posted, the federal government has abandoned its unlawful attempt to defund the program.)
‘He’s a test case to see how far they can go’
Same strategy employed by Walton family and Disney Corporation to save $ and screw hourly employees.
You are totally right. It’s sad that it’s become the norm to let anyone say anything on TV without any push back.
Mainstream media is now government propaganda or at least propaganda adjacent, too cowardly to stand up to the regime. (There are a few journalists who are exceptions).
Appeasing a dictator doesn’t work, as Chamberlain’s failures in the leadup to World War II show us. Yet as Trump floats ceding Ukrainian territory to Putin, we need to remember the lessons of history. #Velshi
Science draws conclusions from research and evidence. Findings can be duplicated and usually are duplicated by other scientists in different labs in different cities and different countries. JFK Jr’s people manipulate or interpret data to “prove” what they want them to show.
This is responsible journalism. She didn’t just let that statement stand.
The US has had mail in voting since the times of the Civil War. Interesting exhibit from the Smithsonian. 💫The more you know
This regime hates children. And it really hates non-white children. “The putative class includes all Guatemalan unaccompanied minors in Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement custody as of 1:02 AM on August 31, 2025”
…2017-2018 US border family separations, 2024 partisan vote against bipartisan immigration reform in Congress, 2025 ICE arrests and abductions…
When “leaders” selfishly pick special interests over what’s right, children suffer and die: Epstein, Gaza, Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Tree of Life Synagogue, Highland Park parade, Annunciation Catholic Church, Trump failed impeachments 1 and 2, rebranding of January 6 insurrection, USAID, RFK Jr, CDC, etc.
“It’s not a gun issue, it’s a mental health issue.” Oh, okay, then stop cutting mental healthcare initiatives, programs and drug availability. P.S. It actually is a gun issue.
This is the (not so) long game they are playing!
It’s so scary! The media has made Trump47 possible and now they are allowing him to take more and more power without giving their readers appropriate context for what’s happening. They should be raising the alarm!
The current crisis in the United States is a direct result of a lack of empathy demonstrated by our “leaders”. Shootings by men who feel wronged and invisible. Laws that favor the wealthy and punish everyone else. Crowdfunding for healthcare costs. We must usher in an era of leaders who care!
“Having covered mass shootings for almost 20 years now” is a fucked up sentence that shouldn’t describe reality in a “civilized” country.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
I think they may have finally realized that taking the high ground just ceded more and more power to the right. I hope that anyway.
Our youth are the canary in the coal mine. The tech companies consider this risk “the cost of doing business”. And our current political regime is enabling them.
For real. Negotiation? He himself just capitulated to his masters. Smh
Tipping wasn’t born in the U.S.—wealthy Americans brought it back from Europe in the 1850s–1860s after traveling abroad. But here’s the twist: Europe used tipping to show off wealth and status. In America, it mutated into a wage replacement—especially for Black workers after slavery ended.
The vast majority of Americans wanted to end the practice of slavery, so slave owners felt threatened. They feared being outnumbered in the Congress. So when the free state of Maine wanted to join the Union, they concocted the Missouri Compromise.
The economies of the states where slave ownership was legal were strong because thousands of people there worked for free.
US history is inextricable from the history of slavery. As is our tradition of political manipulation. The Civil War was fought because slave-holders wanted to keep owning people as property. Their personal wealth was directly tied to the fact that their workforce was made up of enslaved people.
Yes! And when you start learning who his cronies and allies are, brain explodes again because they are all crooked in their own right and still hold, or were elected, after their questionable conduct (if not actual crimes)!
Shit! The regime is detaining journalists.
Good to know! The children of OK deserve better!!
We are the true America. We recognize that the only way to have a strong and just nation is to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all. To take care of each other. We must stand up to the power-hungry and to white supremacists!
Interesting how this decision came down while DJT was in Alaska getting tips from Putin to discredit voting machines.
When covering CA’s redistributing proposition, it’s essential to mention that it would only ever take effect IF Texas gerrymanders their districts. Outlets that omit that point are not giving people necessary context!
This is so bad. We should all be very upset by this.
The present state of US affairs makes it abundantly clear that we need to teach US history, unvarnished. In every state! Jim Crow should never have been. Our nation left one shameful chapter of history and ushered in another. And now we’re doing it again. Enough!
A tale of two vibes.
News outlets that don’t fact check should lose credentials.
Conservative playbook in the US and the UK. Accuse the other party of anything that can cause justifiable grievance. News outlets that don’t fact check should lose credentials.

“Todas las ideas hay que respetarlas, el fascismo, no. El fascismo no es una idea, es la muerte de todas las ideas” Sandro Pertini (1896-1990)
Where I live, community service is a high school graduation requirement. Perhaps public service in adulthood should be a requirement for candidacy to US president. The military dodger calls up the national guard like they’re his pawns. He disrespects public servants to prop himself up.
A plane removing a tail number is like a car removing a license plate. With the tail number, civilians, journalists, and immigration organizations can keep an eye on which deportation flights are leaving, and to where, and loved ones can track deported family members. newrepublic.com/post/199077/...
This video is so outrageous! This administration is outrageous. P.S. Prager U is already taking over the dept of education in Oklahoma with a plan to expand their reach into other states. Pay attention! This is not a drill. It’s government-sanctioned propaganda.
“Dems shouldn’t gerrymander just because Texas is gerrymandering! Two wrongs don’t make a right!!” Yeah well, two wrongs might make a not-authoritarian regime and the death of democracy as we know it, so I’m gonna say go for it.
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This is what happens when the Right spreads fear of transgender individuals and anyone who “looks different”. It is infuriating! Everyone should be able to use a public bathroom with an expectation of privacy.
Replacing the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics with a stooge, proclaiming that crime is up when it’s down, and taking over the Smithsonian are all about trying to take over facts. But facts are facts whether or not Trumpists agree.
President Trump and his presidency are practically like a textbook on why you shouldn’t run the government like a business.
Historians and history teachers. My kid’s history teacher is amazing. In her class history is a story about real people. The kids have to immerse themselves in it and reflect about what they’re learning. Honestly I might have become a historian if she had been my teacher in secondary school!
Oh, they want to end crime in DC? Maybe they should all resign or turn themselves in.
The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.
Tariffs will cost us our economy and the US will lose our place in the world. We will struggle to recover and may never make our way back. All that has made America great is being erased by MAGA and Project 2025.
To the other countries of the world…begin lobbying your leaders…NOW….to skip the 2028 Olympics in the United States.
“first of all, this seat doesn't belong to me. The chair doesn't belong to the governor. This seat belongs to the people of the state of Texas, and I took an oath to protect them and defend them.”
Republicans don’t care about children. Whether they’ve been trafficked. Whether they’re starving in a war zone. Whether they are hungry in America. Or can’t afford medication for an ailment that if left untreated will cost more in the ER or worse.
They’re bad for large scale operations and small, family-owned businesses, which are supposed to be “what America is all about”. All posturing & sound bites.
Maybe he went up there to distract. Maybe he just wandered up there. Either way he looked dumb and he managed said something dumb too: his salary ($400k) covers 1/1000 of what he costs taxpayers with all his personal trips.
And they’re doing it in our name. F that!
Further proof that it’s not about entering the country the right way, or violent criminals. That they don’t care about diplomacy or foreign relations. Even being a Christian is irrelevant, so it’s not about being the wrong religion. It’s about appearance and genes, it’s about quotas. It’s evil.
In America we have NEVER had enough people available to work on our farms. We have ALWAYS relied on migrant workers.
Can someone introduce a bill requiring all congresspeople must hold a certain number of town halls each year in order to keep their office? To save our country we need the systems to operate such that our reps are constantly thinking of their constituents, not their careers!
Yup, big coward. Afraid of words.
This is fantastic!! Bravo 👏
If you think A.I. will solve your problems, you don't understand technology and you don't understand your problems.
This. Every damn word of this.
Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.
Certainly seems possible that the man who wanted the Smithsonian to remove any mention of his impeachment would want the DOJ to redact his name in the Epstein files.
I’ve heard that male prisoners are unkind to pedophiles in prison. Wonder if the same is true about women prisoners.
I really think they’re banking of us “not caring as much” because she a woman. But guess what, we care. A lot. This is depraved.
Our immigration system needed additional funds for additional immigration judges and staff. To process paperwork. Instead the Trump regime took FEMA money, gave to ICE who hired a bunch of thugs. Now his friends are making a bunch of money imprisoning people with no criminal record. This is evil.
Susan Miller, a retired CIA officer who helped lead the team that produced the report about Russia’s actions during the 2016 campaign, told NBC News it was based on credible information that showed Moscow sought to help Trump win the election
These are tools that could have a place. But the solution to these problems he lists and others is humans who look out for each other and not only for their own interests.
Most of what China does to the planet is in service of western companies producing there, you know. The idea that the ecological devastation counts only for China and not for our companies is a bit silly. It's the same head in the sand tactic as we use for electro waste.
History must be archived and shared! Please write to them. Snail mail supports USPS at the same time!
My thoughts exactly!!
There’s a lot of things they are doing that should need congressional approval, like the tariffs.

Julie K. Brown was one of the first to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. On the Contrarian Pod, she joined Jen to expose the powerful men and the Palm Beach community who helped cover them up. This is a story of evil. We encourage you to listen to the interview in its entirety.
Please pay attention.👇 We cannot afford to leave our democracy in the hands of a process that requires this DOJ to act in good faith. We must act now to harden our election systems. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...
This is the man who doesn’t want lawmakers to divest from their investments or put them in a blind trust while in office.
This is what I see every time anyone mentions Josh Hawley. Since 2021 he could have chosen to be the leader of the fight for the American people. Instead time and again he has chosen what has been best for himself and his ego. I’m not fooled by his vote yesterday.
Let them eat cake.
This is part of Biden’s and Trump’s legacies. I’m horrified, I’m heart-broken, ashamed and angry at the US government.
Trump skims nuclear safety funds to spruce up vanity gift plane from Qatar www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
News Analysis: To hide the cost of renovating the plane Qatar donated to President Trump, the Air Force appears to have tucked it inside an over-budget, behind-schedule nuclear modernization program. nyti.ms/4o9OPEg
At least Republicans haven’t made a peep. To them I ask: is protecting your job more important than the state of nation and its future?
The US no longer has a functioning federal government. There are no checks or balances. The President keeps appointing incompetent loyal cronies and Congress doesn’t say a peep. Not to mention that he’s spending MILLIONS of tax payer dollars for his personal gain. Again. There is NO OVERSIGHT.
Chilling!
This is why presidents must divest from their own business interests while serving their terms.
Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.
STOP BUILDING PRISON CAMPS!
Someone tell DJ Vance that the only certainty in life is change.
The only way to stop waste, fraud and abuse is to get rid of Trump and MAGA.
No need to saddle her with Epstein’s crimes. She has enough of her own to atone for.
These men are the modern day equivalent of the slave patrols of the 1800s. The people they are hurting and detaining don’t mean anything to them. They are unfeeling. They are in it for their pay out, at all costs. This is not where Americans want their tax dollars to go.
