Good morning, Putin’s Moscow is burning today because President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people refuse to cower to a murderous tyrant and are fighting for their right to exist.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon swears in new civil rights division lawyers at the DOJ. Because nothing says “we care about civil rights” quite like only hiring white people.

Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

Ok, this is an elected representative. How can he be this stupid? It's been precedent for 150 years! 🤣🤣🤣😎

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

ICE is a rogue agency inflicting terror on immigrant communities so that the private prison industry can profit from that terror. Abolish ICE, divest from detention, and hold every institution that profits from this system accountable.

CBS Propaganda was forced to pay a fine after Stephen Colbert played an unlicensed song from Peanuts during his final show. The owner of Peanuts donated that fine to hero Chef Jose Andres’ amazing World Central Kitchen. A beautiful final fuck you from Mr. Colbert. Love it. 💙👊

Talarico: It looks a lot more like professional wrestling, right? You've got these old guys lathered up in their fake tan, throwing cheesy nicknames at each other. And those nicknames, they don't lower the cost of groceries.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

Is there anything more "out of touch" than spending millions in taxpayer money to coat horse statues in gold while Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas?

Nearly half of the data centers intended for 2026 have already been delayed or canceled. Keep the pressure on. It's making a difference!

In case it wasn’t evident that CBS has been completely transformed to a state funded propaganda network, them literally destroying 60 Minutes and firing journalists for refusing to report outright lies is all the proof you need. CBS is imploding and I couldn’t be more thrilled to see it.

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

WE ALREADY HAD A FUCKING NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN WITHOUT A SINGLE BOMB DROPPED OR SCHOOLGIRL OR SERVICE MEMBER KILLED AND THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS ALREADY OPEN. In case anyone needs a reminder that any deal that emerges isn’t a laudable victory; it’s a costly repair of self- inflicted damage.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.
