It's almost as if there are consequences for getting in bed with Trump, which companies like Target and Tesla are currently finding out the hard way.

Rep. Jayapal: Why is the administration snatching people off the street with masked men?

Rubio: We don't do the snatching

Horsford: They are cutting healthcare for 13.7 million Americans. The largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history to give tax cuts to billionaires and to big corporations. This is your priority.

Dear Steve and Robin, Since we unionized in 2023, we have worked hard to reach a contract that honors ProPublica's mission. In order to fulfill that vision, our values of fairness, transparency and accountability must apply not only to our reporting but also to our workplace. Our proposals have sought basic contractual rights that align with those values and exist at many other unionized newsrooms. Instead of working with us to codify those rights, you have struck through many of our proposals, called for broad carve outs and delayed discussion of key provisions such as protections against layoffs and overwork. Those tactics are not in line with the ProPublica you say you want to build. In recent months: ● You have refused to allow stewards in performance meetings that could lead to discipline. ● You have resisted attempts to reform our disciplinary system, rejecting a standard approach to just cause and measures to improve transparency and clarity. ● You rejected our proposal that would ensure our jobs will not be replaced by artificial intelligence. What we are seeking is simple: ProPublica management must uphold its values in its own workplace. We expect that your proposals going forward will reflect these shared values. Sincerely, ProPublica Guild

Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @sengelberg.bsky.social and @robinsparkman.bsky.social asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.

RFK is a ghoul

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

I’m dying 😂

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The Texas House has approved a $1 billion private school voucher bill — the culmination of more than three decades of work by Christian conservative donors.

@jschwartzreporter.bsky.social explains how we got to this moment (published 2024):

Idaho Gave Families $50M to Spend on Private Education. Then It Ended a $30M Program Used by Public School Families. A Republican lawmaker said ending an Idaho program that helped public school students buy laptops and other materials wasn’t linked to the creation of a private school tax credit. The state’s most pro...

A Republican Idaho lawmaker said ending a $30m program that helped public school students was unrelated to the recent creation of a $50m private school tax credit. The state’s most prominent conservative group (Idaho Freedom Foundation) says it should be.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Still going strong!

This is what corruption looks like.

Cheering on your Good Trouble!!

Rock Star!!! Get into that Good Trouble!

Cheering for you from LV-NV

Kristi Noem wrote in a book that she killed her dog because it wasn’t trainable or some such nonsense and has now allowed herself to be proudly photographed in front of a prison cell stuffed with half naked concentration camp inmates. Do not forget this when Noem turns up on a ballot in the future.

This is so gross.

Thank you DHS Staffer - you’re a hero!

📣 Milwaukee pay attention‼️

A troubling pattern is emerging. As if Elon Musk didn’t already have enough power, he pressured Reddit’s CEO to censor content he didn’t like—pressure we hope Reddit will resist in the future.

There’s no way in hell I'm defunding PBS or NPR.

McCarthy is so pathetic. He’s so desperate to be relevant. Sad.

They are disappearing people off the streets
They are disappearing people off the streets
They are disappearing people off the streets

This is some f-ed up oligarch corruption
