Ah yes, fiscal conservatism in action: loudly proclaim “America First” while quietly approving billions elsewhere. Subtle as ever.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

@schiff.senate.gov v Bondi, and he's got all the cards, to coin a phrase. What a mess we're in.

The National Guardeners.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Orca mom carries dead newborn calf in San Juans

It is not the first time such on-the-nose grief has been observed in this endangered population. In January, orca J35 carried a dead baby for at least five days. J35 had previously made world headlines in 2018 when she carried her dead calf for 17 days and 1,000 miles. From @kuow.org

Q: "What's your plan if Trump's tariffs are struck down by SCOTUS?"

Bessent: "I am confident that we will win at SCOTUS."

Q: "Are you prepared to offer rebates?"

Bessent: "We would have to give a refund on about half the tariffs which would be terrible for the Treasury."

South Koreans Are Among Hundreds Detained in Immigration Raid at Hyundai E.V. Plant

ICE arrested *475* people in this raid on a Hyundai plant - many of them South Korean citizens and some of them the factory's *executives.*

South Korea should seriously consider disinvestment if its citizens are unsafe working in America.

WE ALL HAVE TO SAY THIS DAILY INCLUDING ELECTED OFFICIALS

THIS IS
Fascist and Authoritarian
Rule

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

Trump and the GOP constantly campaign that crime is out of control. In fact as this FBI report reported, violent and property crime last year was at its lowest level since the 1960s. This fact should be more broadly known by our citizens.

"Its unfolding genocide"

Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland, has just returned from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing and seen first hand how Israel is blocking aid from entering Gaza.

The silence of the United States media on the murder of Al Jazeera journalists in a targeted attack by Netanyahu & the IDF speaks to the lack of integrity that now pervades our media. To date, Netanyahu & the IDF have murdered over 200 journalists & their families. The cowardice is telling

Jon Williams from @rorypecktrust.bsky.social : "The murder of 6 journalists in a single incident is one of the worst attacks on journalists ever... killing and targeting journalists is a war crime"

The ocean sustains earthly life.

So what was the question?

Old and frail? Kettle...?

A Massive Health Care Shock Is Coming And there is little time—and maybe not enough will from Republicans—to avert it.

Republicans have a difficult choice: take an axe to Obamacare, or extend a Biden-era assistance program and take credit for lowering costs?

That might do it...
