This is not transparency. Nearly everything the GOP just “released” has already been released. This is a pathetic attempt by Republicans to buy them more time to bury this crisis. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

nine former cdc employees pen op-ed for the new york times, saying rfk jr’s leadership “should alarm every american, regardless of political leanings.” after replacing “experts on federal health advisory committees with unqualified individuals who share his dangerous and unscientific views.”

Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it
Trump is a hell of a carny pitchman, I have to give him that. When a ton of people tune in, he's going to say he's sending troops to Chicago. Probably started the rumor he's sick or dead himself.
MEMPHIS: “Despite locals’ health concerns, the Greater Memphis Chamber has gone to unusual lengths to promote a data center, including sending a mailer with inaccurate information.” www.propublica.org/article/memp...
Never been a big Dalio fan. But he is being courageous, here. He said this knowing he could face retaliation from Trump, when nobody else in the capitalist class will. That's important. It says something about his moral core. And he should be applauded.
If you think the bruises on Donald's hands are bad from last week, you should see his knees from Alaska.

In support of Trump's peace efforts, Russia will continue the war.
I am increasingly worried about concentrated control around the flow of information in our society. I don't know about you. But if you care about democracy, that's the whole ballgame.

Never in Israel's history has a security cabinet been asked to pursue such a radical plan so strongly opposed by the IDF, with even some of Netanyahu's ministers expressing doubts. Yet the prime minister sided with the far right, asserting that Trump would back Israel if it acted swiftly

Moreover, even if he leaves, it's the same crooks and assholes in the WH. And now, unhindered by the ailing, geriatric, madman at the helm. I'm highly confident the celebration would be short lived.
Am I the only one on this site who thinks that Trump is probably fine in terms of his health (or at least not meaningfully worse than before) and its largely wishful thinking to believe otherwise?
Trump working hard to lower prices this morning
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Spent the day driving around Manchester, New Hampshire, a city for 80-something New Yorkers in deep debt apparently. I was driving alone, something I’m known to do. I saw a woman fleeing domestic violence. I “rendered aid,” vaguely. Minutes or maybe an hour later I was walloped by a Mack truck.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Erik Loomis: The labor movement has failed to step up to the moment in countering Trump, even as Trump unilaterally strips public sector workers of collective bargaining. Labor will die as a movement if this continues.

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:

Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
As Trump’s health declines, he seems completely preoccupied with his likelihood of reaching Heaven. Guess what, Donny? It’s too late for you. On the bright side, you’ll spend eternity with your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein.

For those who think the Trump administration is speedrunning the German 1930s by following Hitler’s playbook, today is the anniversary of Operation Himmler, a series of false flag events which gave Hitler the justification for war.
When QAnon emerged publicly in August 2018, the media was totally blindsided. Most had either no knowledge, or had actively ignored it. There's no excuse now. The president is sharing insane prophecy cult memes, and it needs to be covered. It's not normal.
