"Raul" harvests tomatoes at Gargiulo and is excited about his new 3 year UFW contract. He'll earn $0.90 per 25lb bucket for first-pick round tomatoes, a 4-cent increase from last season. Based on average production he might earn around $1.50 more per hour. #WeFeedYou

BREAKING: It took eight tries, but the Senate has voted 50-47 to advance a resolution to limit Trump’s war on Iran. Bill Cassidy flipped after losing his primary, joining Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul in voting with Democrats. John Fetterman was the only Dem to vote against.

Louisiana has refused to reconsider the convictions of 1,000+ mostly Black men sentenced by split juries, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2020 that such convictions are unconstitutional and based on an inherently racist law. (Published Sept. 2025)

It is all connected. Billionaires are building the data centers to power the artificial intelligence that will replace our jobs and the US government is doing it for mass surveillance and war. Oh and they’re building the data centers over farmland to reduce our food supply, since their AI robots

Scott MacFarlane reports Democracy Forward has ordered the Trump administration to preserve all records tied to Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against his own IRS and the newly created slush fund. CEO Skye Perryman: “Preserve your documents, because we’re going to see you in court.”

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Don Lemon: “If Barack Obama had sued his own government, settled with himself in secret, created a billion dollar fund with no congressional oversight to pay his political allies. What if he did that? They would’ve had him in chains before sundown. The National Guard would have been called in

The amount of corruption that is happening is absolutely ridiculous. The Justice Department has agreed to permanently shield Trump, his family, and his businesses from IRS tax claims a last-minute addition to the slush-fund deal.

This is outright theft. Trump is stealing $1.7 BILLION of your money to set up a totally unprecedented, first-in-American-history political slush fund that he can use to dole out cash to win loyalty and favors for him and his family.

this is a masterpiece

No qualifiers needed Senator. It IS an obvious abuse of power

Brilliant job today by Sen. Van Hollen. Blanche can't handle the truth. He doesn't act like an Attorney General. He was Trump's criminal defense lawyer, now he's Trump's personal retribution prosecutor and grift dispenser. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

As if people don't remember what football and its (mostly) white fans did to Black athletes just taking a knee during NFL games?! What is the plan to support these athletes if they make this move?

Oh my god

Trump tore down nearly half the White House, without approval, then told you this ballroom would not cost any taxpayer money. Now, Republicans are requesting $1 Billion of your money for security features related to it. #ballroominflation https://bit.ly/4tdZaAg

“There’s no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it’s our [Jews] land. And that’s why America must always stand with Israel.” Wow. He just came right out and said it. He really needs to step down

🚨BREAKING: A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the VRA. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is the correct way of referring to adding justices to the SCOTUS. Dems need to learn how to frame a movement positively before the right frames it for them in a negative light. Modernizing by right-sizing the SCOTUS to reflect the now 13 circuits is necessary for overall balance and fairness.

Reuters-Ipsos poll: 34% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance. 64% disapprove. Just 22% approve of Trump's performance on the cost of living.

John Roberts has been trying to kill Voting Rights Act since he was young lawyer in Reagan DOJ in early 1980s. That's most important context for today's Callais decision. Roberts Court has now issued 3 major decisions gutting VRA, turning law into dead letter www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Oh, you go Karma. 🤞🤞💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

Look if Trump wants to keep making the ballroom a big issue, he definitely should. Voters will be thrilled for the President to get a ballroom, on top of the billions he’s grifted, while their grocery and gas prices continue to climb. Great issue for R’s to campaign on in 2026.

Not to be overly alarmist, but everyone should be worried about DOJ’s indictment of SPLC. Here’s why: joycevance.substack.com/p/whats-wron...

Four Democratic senators say they are investigating whether the Pentagon left U.S. troops at a command post in Kuwait without sufficient protection ahead of an Iranian drone attack that killed six American servicemembers and left more than 20 wounded.

Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent of Vermont, is pressing top Democrats to require candidates to reject super PAC support in primaries or face punishment from the national party and its affiliates.

Still gonna bitch every day until everyone wakes up to electing a shitty businessman to dissolve all social value in government to privatize the things that make him $ & drive away our best minds & scientists to better countries to lose forever. Your government was never intended to profit off you.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said today the United States is being “humiliated by the Iranian leadership.” He also questioned the endgame, warning that entering a conflict without an exit plan risks repeating failures seen in Afghanistan and Iraq.

RFK's rage and self-righteous sense of entitlement are obvious and scary. He is not someone I would want to be around at work or personally.

I wrote about Eastman's efforts back in Nov 2021.

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon. The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

Why did Dave Chappelle agree to a comedy show in Saudi Arabia? Why does he live in Yellow Springs, Ohio? And why did he pay for a new headquarters for the NPR station there? Just an amazing NPR Newsmakers conversation with Michel Martin. youtu.be/3zEbK4VPNO8?...

Can confirm

As soon as today, the US Senate will vote on a House resolution that allows copper mining by a Chilean company near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Boundary Waters is the most-visited wilderness area in the country, and it cannot be replaced.
