Remember: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption and plunder. [Cartoon by Jace Avery]

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈

Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
-FDR, 1937
When Trump...
-Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers
-Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him
-Uses state visits to advance his hotel business
It's corruption, plain and simple.

I’m in the middle of doing a YouTube series on how to “Think Like a Historian.” This week’s video discusses interpreting primary sources.
Just trying to spread the benefits of historical thinking!

Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly sold over $1 million worth of shares in Trump’s media company on the day that he announced tariffs that led to a huge dip in the stock market, according to financial disclosures.
That raises serious ethics questions.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is devastating and must end. Israeli authorities must allow aid to reach Palestinian civilians, and we must continue working towards a lasting ceasefire that includes the safe return of all remaining hostages.

Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.
Page One must have been crowded.
So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡

Trump is now attempting to overturn the conviction of a Colorado clerk who tampered with voting machines in a failed effort to prove the 2020 election was rigged against him.

Trump is demanding that DOGE investigate polls after his favorability numbers tanked so badly that even Fox News couldn’t spin them to look good. He’s calling it all “fraud.” Seems like a very “efficient” use of tax dollars.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel.
Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare.
Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.
Tax ppl can speak to the statutory and regulatory questions. But as a 1st Amendment person, I can tell you that this is wildly lawless as a constitutional matter. Govt subsidies & exemptions are not free-for-alls to impose viewpoint based restrictions. Plus this is a nesting doll of violations - 1/2

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family.
They don’t care.
They think it’s funny.
Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.
