Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

NEWS: The Gaza "ceasefire" is collapsing before our eyes as both sides accuse each other of violations. There have been major Israeli military strikes across Gaza today. Yet, MAGA Mike is going on TV and calling for Trump to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

One of my favorite parts of journalism is you just get to ask everyday people what they think about something and share that.

Happy to be the video guy behind stitching these responses my colleagues gathered ⬇️

To everyone claiming there were no arrests at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday, this is simply not true.

No, a Trump supporter was arrested for trying to use a gun against people exercising their First Amendment rights. He was arrested and his tacky Jeep with Trump flags was towed.

Such extremism! So much terror!

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

If this is shocking....you have not been paying attention.

In the midst of the the Trump’s Epstein files panic its helpful to remember:

Donald Trump is a CONFESSED sexual predator.

The Access Hollywood audio is a taped confession of serial sexual assault.

He’s proud of what he did.

GOP megabill’s final score: $3.4T in red ink and 10 million kicked off health insurance, CBO says The package President Donald Trump signed on July 4 would grow the deficit over the next 10 years, Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper predicts.

Trump's recently passed megabill is expected to increase the federal deficit by $3.4 trillion and cause 10 million people to lose health insurance, Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper predicts.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

What sets Texas floods apart: Kids died in heart-wrenching numbers The Texas tragedy comes as experts worry that children around the globe are increasingly at risk from extreme weather events.

The Texas tragedy comes as experts worry that children around the globe are increasingly at risk from extreme weather events because they are smaller physically, less developed psychologically and dependent on adults for support and protection.

U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread Johns Hopkins University data reflects the public health reversal in defeating the vaccine-preventable disease since measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

“No collusion”

“She wasn’t my type”
“I never slept with her”
“It was a perfect phone call”

“There are no classified records here”

“There is no Epstein client list”

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park.

It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.

Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims

Here’s Rep Andy Ogles saying Zohran joining Dem Socialists is what should get him deported 🤔, calling it “communist” and “anti-American” (very McCarthyist!)

Reminder: MLK touted Democratic Socialism👇🏽

Ogles says “even if we can’t ‘GET’ this guy, it creates a template” —for fascism?

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

“Mark Warner, the vice-chairman of the US senate intelligence committee, said after Israel’s attack, that US intelligence agencies still see no evidence that Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons.”

JFC. Even after what the Trump regime has done to LA, the state of California, both Schiff & Padilla (!!) decided to vote with Republicans to give Trump a massive gift on crypto.

Same goes for Gillibrand and NY.

Also shame on Booker, Kim & Warnock.

A disgraceful list - especially this week.

‘Abolishing FEMA’ Memo Outlines Ways for Trump to Scrap Agency In a newly revealed March memo, officials proposed ways to dramatically curtail the US government’s disaster response role, such as by ending aid for smaller disasters and cutting housing funds for su...

SCOOP: DHS Sec. Kristi Noem directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to prepare a memo on how to abolish itself and create a re-branded, radically smaller disaster response organization, according to a copy of the document reviewed by Bloomberg News. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.

Climate models with low sensitivity to greenhouse gases do not align with satellite measurements Climate models that give a low warming from increases in greenhouse gases do not match satellite measurements. Future warming will likely be worse than thought unless society acts, according to a new ...

I know there's a lot happening in the world right now, but I can't find any news reporting at all of this major new study published in Science.

Where's the #climate coverage?!

"We therefore need to cut GHG emissions even further to have a chance of keeping global warming below 2 degrees"

A Tennessee woman is studying to be a nurse and works nights cleaning buildings. ICE recently deported her husband, leaving her alone with three kids and another child on the way. She's about to lose her car and home. Would you consider donating to help?

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency.

The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?
