Thank you, Congressman Thompson, for taking the correct, moral stand on marriage equality and speaking out against this discriminatory legal action in front of the Supreme Court.

'Blunt Corruption': Trump DOJ Hands Google an Antitrust Win After Tech Giant's Ballroom Donation | Common Dreams Alphabet, Google's parent company, is contributing $22 million to the president's ballroom project.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

The GOP has shifted so far right that what constitutes “the center” is much more conservative than it used to be and is less representative of the core Dem base.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Jeffrey Epstein Went to War Over Money Laundering Probe in 2007 Sex Case Federal prosecutors opened a financial-crimes investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in 2007 amid their larger sex-trafficking probe. The financier and his legal team waged a war against them, his emails ...

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Unfortunately I remember. So contentious, and no clear right side, imo. Longtime local business vs habitat restoration.

‘The Oyster War’: What Really Happened to Drakes Bay Oyster Farm A new book recounts a journalist’s tale of the battle between wilderness advocates and a local agriculture community.

Nope. DiFi supported Drakes Bay Oyster Co. in their fight to continue their long-term lease in the Point Reyes Natl Seashore. The Natl Park Svc wanted the property to revert to nature. No shenanigans by DiFi, just taking one side in a very contentious fight.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

A lot of wealthy and powerful people helped Epstein fund his sex trafficking operation. The American people deserve to know who they are. Secretary Bessent, like his boss, is covering it up. I’m going to keep following the money. Stay tuned.

That anger we all see is so disheartening. But it was purposely fomented by bad actors like Gingrich, Limbaugh, and so many others to create division and brand Dems as evil “libtards”. Always remember that division was MANUFACTURED

Partisan polarization increased in the 90’s with Newt Gingrich’s scorched-earth leadership style that denigrated Dems and blocked the Dem’s ability to govern. It came on the heels of Reagan’s “Gov’t is the problem” rhetoric. Poisoned the ideal of “good government” for a lot of folks.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

Literally Lesson #1 of @timothysnyder.bsky.social book On Tyranny: DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE. We must overcome our fear and resist the tyrant!

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Two headlines on front page of NYT. First is "Trump Weighs Transforming Refugee Policy. White People Would be Given Preference." Second is "Justices May Ban Race as a Factor in District Maps. Nation's Political Balance Could Shift If Court Guts 1964 Law."

Where we stand, in long arc of history:

-Story on left, adding race as a factor when that favors white people.

-Story on right, banning race as a factor when that favors non-whites.

I often complain about NYT headlines and story-play. But these are strong. Including "If Court Guts 1965 Law."

But the administration’s decision to rescue Argentina’s economy is raising concerns about whether the real aim is to help rich investors whose bets on Argentina could falter if its economy sinks. Those efforts have been complicated by the fact that major hedge funds, including those led by friends of Mr. Bessent, stand to benefit financially from an Argentina economic lifeline. Funds at investment firms including BlackRock, Fidelity and Pimco are heavily invested in Argentina, as are investors such as Stanley Druckenmiller and Robert Citrone, both of whom worked with Mr. Bessent when he was an investor for George Soros.

Now up to $40B, and all to bail out wealthy US investor buddies of Scott Bessent who face big losses if their Argentina bets go bad, according to this article (gift link)

These guys were more than TWICE the ages of the girls Trump and Epstein (and others) allegedly raped.

Young Republicans are up to age 40.

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."
