Why can’t we find this great reporting from a major unbiased newspaper in the US?

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1939: Marian Anderson performs for 75,000 people at the Lincoln Memorial. The DAR had refused to allow the renowned contralto to sing in Constitution Hall, so FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt helped arrange the concert on federal property. /1

boosting because good and we need more good

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

So true! The entire GOP owns the blame for #NaziTrump stupidity! @wsj.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @theguardian.com @aljazeera.com @lemonde.fr @apnews.com @npr.org @mlbscores.bsky.social @espn.com @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

Hostile reminder that Congress has the ability to modify or take back the powers they granted to the executive branch thru legislation. Basically Congress can wake tf up at any point and stop Trump’s tariffs. 👀 It’s a fundamental principle of the constitution, which y’all love so much right?

This is nonsense

People across the country and around the world turned out on Saturday for what organizers say has been the single biggest day of protests against President Trump and his second-term actions. In the U.S., more than a thousand rallies were planned in small towns and major cities from coast to coast.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

You know what's on my mind today? Pictures and videos of murdered children, calls for empathy and humane-ness don't work and do not protect other kids - ones who are still alive. Those who make the decisions don't watch them. They do not react and they use other motives for action.⤵️

The willful ignorance and destruction are so infuriating.

Kilmer Abrego Garcia was “accidentally deported” to El Salvador, and is being locked behind bars in a hell-hole prison. This is the abhorrent result of the Trump regime’s refusal to ensure due process. In America, Garcia was violently stripped of his fundamental rights. By order…

Currently of the opinion that the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is a referendum on misinformation.

We're hearing Julia Pollak of ZipRecruiter will be DOL's next chief economist so we did a little digging. Typically, whoever is in this role coordinates with the White House Council of Economic Advisors on messaging around the economy. Here are some interesting things we found.

I was a storm chaser before mobile Internet (and thus radar) was a thing, rarely had cell service. At the time, few of us were dumb enough to chase high precip supercells in the Midwest/Northern plains at night. Images like this bring back memories.

NEW: Internal staff email from Smithsonian secretary Lonnie Bunch addressing Trump’s executive order. “As always, our work will be shaped by the best scholarship, free of partisanship, to help the American public better understand our nation’s history, challenges and trumphs.”

Pete Hegseth was never qualified to lead our troops. He’s proving it right now. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s dangerous.

He provided classified strike packages on personal devices. He can scream and cry like the little bitch he is but he did it.

Trump Administration deporting Gaza protesters. They all thought the Biden administration needed to be ousted bc they didn’t enough support. FAFO

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

Boycott any company that sponsors. Let make sure it’s just Balance of nature, my pillow and relief factor and whatever else Foxnews one

Does anybody else think that workers here in the US without papers deserve to come out of the shadows? We have allowed some level of bs for too long. I hate what ICE and the scary fascists are doing, but frankly, we need to find a way to allow people to come here and work in low paying jobs legally

The Defense Department releases new guidance on how it will enforce President Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military, and asked a federal judge to lift her recent order blocking the ban.

👇🏽An organic and entirely appropriate reaction to the obscene gaslighting

I like this one! Super funny. Very hard to find the space for humor right now, but The Onion succeeds.

Thank you for showing up and telling your stories. We’re in this fight with you

The Real Level Set! Do us all a favor, America. Next time, don’t stay home. Get your ass to the polls and make sure your family and friends do too. That’s what Black folks do.

Hey #ChuckShumer step down and get out of the way of those who actually want to save our democracy.

Such beautiful writing. I wish it was in celebration of my country, not mourning for what we were.

This isn’t just about a shut down. It’s about a tax break for the wealthy and a ballooning of our debt while DOGE pussyfoots some performance bs while ruining our government. It’s not hard to comprehend. Please get headline right.

Any questions?

Mike Johnson will be a small sentence in high school American history books. “Some in the federal government supported curtailing free speech to create the image of a government in control of messaging.” I can see the AP examine question now.

Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.
