To CNN Trump’s authoritarian manufactured crisis is a “showdown.”

It seems like the worst people get to keep their lives while their victims are swallowed by the worst evils of society.

Those celebrating Cory Booker's stunt today got their moral-victory-endorphin-rush and are shower singing to "Fight Song" on loop right now. Meanwhile, the opposition continues kidnapping people, laundering money, firing people without cause, and eroding our rights week after week.

I have a stern opinion on what should come of Pete and Tulsi 🔥💪💥

Taking a cue from Leader's treatment of classified docs

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Ppl keep saying, “Trump doesn’t represent America. We still think Americans are good ppl,” but let me tell ya - there are plenty of Americans who are exactly like Trump. This is a dying country of selfish, entitled narcissists who voted for their own self-destruction out of petulant ignorance.

One Nazi collaborators, Brian Schatz spent years talking about secret Senate procedures to stop Trump’s authoritarian moves. Turns out, the “strategy” was to cave completely. No justification, no excuse—just another weak fraud pretending to fight while enabling catastrophe. Murphy’s face said it all

don't miss this, it's a big story, I swear to you

Butterflies declined by 22% in just 2 decades across the US – there are ways you can help save them

#HBD to Arthel Lane “Doc” Watson, one of the greatest guitarists of the American folk traditions, who would have turned 102 today. On the centennial of his birth, we had a Professor of Appalachian Studies and Bluegrass, Old-Time and Roots Music Studies explain Watson's enduring influence #MusicSky

A reminder for these times.

. @dougjones.bsky.social weighs in on the Oval Office ambush 🔥 “The President has made the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of this planet….look weak…run by a couple of junior high school kids who would rather argue in a locker room than discuss…peace & security.”

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Billionaire Elon Musk is tightening his control over broad swaths of the US gov't, prompting growing alarm from Democrats and constitutional scholars. 🔗: aje.io/vy3sje

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

Voter suppression very much has been at the core of a multi-decade effort by the GOP. hartmannreport.com/p/exit-polli...

Fanone: There’s a lot of John Fettermans in the world and unfortunately, that’s why we’re in the predicament that we’re in

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center. How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down? How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

President Musk is already not keeping his promises? What is our government coming to?

From Musk, Thiel, Trump Jr, RFK Jr, Yarvin, Dugin, and Peterson they aren't just billionaires and regressive mouthpieces but drug addicts too.

This is a beautifully written piece on someone I didn’t know existed until 10 minutes ago. I’m going to have to give Manga another shot

It’s hard to achieve anything extraordinary without breaking it down into small, manageable steps. I find it good to remind myself of this time to time.

Billionaire Peter Thiel, a backer of Elon Musk and Donald Trump and a known Yarvinist vampire, displayed palpable fear when questioned about the public's celebration of Luigi Mangione—a fan of Thiel and Musk—who assassinated an insurance CEO.

Indeed

Bashar al-Assad’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.
