Trumpās plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the āpro-peaceā candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
As union membership goes down, more wealth gets transferred up to the top 10% from the working class. Thereās a reason why corporations and billionaires spend $400 million per year busting unions.
This is the way

Way to go Mom. Life is hard. You did so well. All the love to you and those kids. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
āA dangerous crank ā what on Earth are you on about??!ā @chrislhayes.bsky.social goes in on RFK Jr. for claiming he can diagnose kids just by looking at them.
Can all the people who actually understand science and disease control start their own organization please? We still need to know the real information and we need scientists out here still doing their work.
They LIED to youā¦ youtube.com/shorts/6d7QL...
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have āstayed and foughtā, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): āIf there are any adults left in the White House, itās well past time they face realityā¦ We cannot let RFK Jr. burn whatās left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the groundāhe must be fired.ā
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: āI have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American peopleā. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
Restricting COVID vaccines while 47,500 Americans died last year is not āscienceāāit is sabotage. Denying families access forces risk onto the vulnerable, deepens inequity, and weaponizes public health for ideology. This is cruelty dressed as policy. #HealthNotPolitics #VaccineAccessNow
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isnāt.
Iām so grateful sheās running. South Carolina deserves a senator who actually cares about them.
So excited for this conversation today!! Watch it on TheSirenNetwork.com
We are very far off the cliff here folks. šŗšø
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare āno more electionsā and stay in office forever. Today he just said āa lot of peopleā want āa dictator.ā See where this is going?
Itās not that Republicans wonāt allow us to vote in future elections, itās that they donāt intend that our votes be allowed to count.
He genuinely thinks governing is a series of photo ops.
I was in the news business for only 4 decades, so maybe I don't know much. But it seems like the transformation of the U.S. into a police state would be worth a headline and a few paragraphs.
How does that benefit Gavin? Thatās just Ron and Sean seeking relevancy.
It's beyond outrageous what Trump has done to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And it's all because he became the most prominent illustration of how the amoral, sadistic, lawless, mendacious, and authoritarian thugs who today control our federal government seek to destroy our constitutional order. ...
Utterly depraved.
Letās be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no senseāitās not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Pam Bondi knows whatās on the files and is actively covering it up. She is now a co-conspirator in the overall crime.
Kamala Harris was right. But sheās a woman. Sheās Black. We canāt have that!! Now look where weāre at.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

āI was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that islandā¦ and I was not the only girl on that islandā¦ Ghislaine must die in prison, because Iāve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.ā Listen to the survivors.
Itās time for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to fire his comms people. Thatās a lot of words to say āGTFO.ā Also, unleashing the military on the people isnāt a distraction. Itās five-alarm fascism.
Volume UP!!!! This kid is going places! Bless him.

Unbelievable. This coverup is absolutely unhinged.
25. And I donāt see this pattern changing any time soon, not until the dominant faction of the Democratic Party, the one w/ the money and influence, understands the partyās majority is no longer going to tolerate the belief among elite Dems that itās better to bargain with evil than to fight it.
She was paying $479 a month for her ACA health insurance. Next year she will be paying *$2,800* a month for the same plan. And it's all because Republicans decided to end ACA subsidies. Expect to hear stories like this all across the country very soon. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
š§ THIS is why it's vital to record ICE "agents" - from every angle, during EVERY encounter! š” They're crafting their cover stories on the fly - with zero allegiance to the truth. Film it. Livestream it. Publish immediately! Help ensure that public perception reflects the FACTS! š„ @cheyenne.I.hunt
The most impressive thing about this campaign is how *creative* they are. Theyāre trying new stuff! Multiple times during the last few months Iāve thought āwow, Iāve never seen a campaign do that.ā Much more of that needed everywhere.
Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

The amusing thing about this clip is the infrastructure bill was literally the first and only thing Nancy Mace brought up in terms of her accomplishments in Congress. Her biggest win for her district was legislation she voted against.
Let me know if you like. Would it be good to get the key information you need to know in a once, or twice, a week Big Picture breakdown? youtu.be/peVWvSCTJbg?...
Bingo.
Meanwhile this is what the Wilson County, TN Republicans are proudly displaying at the fairā¦ incredibly dark stuffā¦ Our kids are watching.
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: āSilence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it isā¦Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.ā

From Russia Today's Telegram channel, this morning
"Newsomās threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."
This is how you do it! As Jim Acosta said, one of the best campaign ads ever. Hereās to authentic ppl in office! Remember the bitch who said āwell weāre all going to dieā in response to losing Medicaid? Well letās help Josh show her the door. šŖ You in Iowa? Spread the word! #Pinks

Yeah, this is a highly unusual all-hands-on-deck meeting that wouldnāt be happening if Alaska was productive. 5 European leaders, the head of NATO and the head of the EU donāt just drop everything and fly to DC. H/T: @radiofreetom.bsky.social

My law firm is currently litigating 50 voting and election cases in 22 states. Here are the states with the most cases: GA, AZ, FL, NC, LA, MT, NV, WI. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight for democracy. Please, pay attention.
We need other Democratic governors to step up. We donāt need words. We need action.
In other words: They lied.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I donāt want to hear that billionaires canāt afford a wealth tax.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."
If youāre under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, theyāre not hiding it:
Release the Epstein Files!
So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.

You know, Iām not surprised that the people who have been bringing us āalternative factsā for like a decade now are planning to share fake jobs numbers and tariffs numbers and Smithsonian museum exhibits but it does scare the shit out of me how much theyāre intent on destroying our shared reality
Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked girls. Now she gets work release. This isnāt justice. Itās a reward. Sheās not reformed,sheās rehearsing her comeback. The system that let Epstein off the hook is doing it again. The survivors get silence. She gets a job. This isnāt a mistake. Itās how power works.
absolutely savage

A video arguing that women shouldnāt be able to vote was just shared by Trumpās Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military. And Democratic Party leaders still canāt stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.
