Not safe to go shopping anymore. Mass shooting and now federal paramilitary attacks in the parking lots — WTF?

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Oh, reporters covering President Piggy. Don’t be afraid of losing access by fighting back. If he bans the press, he gets no attention. Starve the beast.

The recent emails released by Epstein’s estate should have been impeachment worthy for President Trump, but America is controlled by the rich and powerful who have been fucking children for decades without consequence. Shame.

At least Trump is going into this with an open mind as a positive and optimistic unifier of the American people.

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

Judge Boasberg says he will proceed to fact-finding on whether to hold govt in contempt for sending people to El Salvador against his order on 3/15/25. Preliminarily wants to hear from whistleblower Erez Reuveni & DOJ's Drew Ensign. Will let parties advise how to proceed in writing by Monday.

From Gavin Newsom:

Powerful 💪
These kids organized a walkout today, standing up against ICE.

Kindness once shaped how a country judged itself. A warm home, a fair wage, a hand held out. Now the love of money stands where kindness stood. Policy worships profit. Politics rewards cruelty. A nation that forgets kindness slowly forgets its soul, and the cost shows in every street.

Amazon vs Perplexity: the AI agent war has arrived A lawsuit over automated shopping reveals a deeper struggle over who will control the next generation of AI and what happens when autonomous agents start acting on our behalf

Amazon sues Perplexity over their agentic browser Comet using Amazon to make purchases for users. Might be an interesting case to keep an eye on www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Rollins suggested that everyone who receives SNAP be required to reapply. But it's not clear whether Rollins was suggesting an additional requirement or referring to the current one that mandates people to periodically recertify their income and other information. An Agriculture Department spokesperson didn't clarify but instead said in a statement that the standard recertification processes for households is part of a plan to eliminate fraud, abuse and waste. Under federal law, most households must report their income and basic information every four to six months and be fully recertified for SNAP at least every 12 months. Full recertification can occur every 24 months for households where all adults are age 60 and above or have disabilities.

They’re combating waste, fraud and abuse by *checks notes* doing what we’ve always done.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

ICE Kidnapping victims are being moved from North Carolina to Lumpkin, Georgia 🚨 🚨

You ready? ✊

Thank you, Raleigh, for not bending the knee.

I understand the reasoning behind zeroing in on ICE & DHS abducting citizens. But when you lead with what's perceived as your most sympathetic cases, you cede the moral high ground & make arguing for others harder. It is wrong for armed, masked gestapo to grab people - doesn't matter their status.

Bill Cassidy claimed he received assurances that the “CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism,” when justifying his vote to confirm RFK Jr lol

Borders Czar Tom Homan just announced he’s ramping up ICE operations in NYC.

Same playbook we’ve been seeing in LA, DC, Chicago & Charlotte. They aren’t hunting criminals, they’re targeting workers and people who are part of the community. Families. Neighbors. The people who keep the city running.

White House MBS Dinner

The White House dinner last night for MBS was a coterie of corruption & back channel access that has become synonymous with the #Trump regime—

Notable Attendees: Elon Musk, Tim Cook, David Ellison, Marc Benioff, Michael Dell, David Sacks, Charles Schwab, Stephen Wynn and many more..

We speak of budgets as if they are distant storms, but every cut lands on a real life. Kindness asks who pays. Money asks who gains. Modern politics answers only the second question. A country that values wealth above care becomes rich in numbers and poor in everything that matters.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Seriously how long do I have to be disabled before I learn that willpower isn't a thing?

It's not a thing!

But surely THIS time —

Nope turns out still not a thing

Integrity's Carole Malone once got a Press Complaints case against her for lying that immigrants got a free car. Murdoch had to publish an apology/correction.

But here she is calling award-winning (Journalist Of The Year 2023) @pippacrerar.bsky.social into the headmaster's office 😆

It's always a rare treat to do an interview that ISN'T about politics. It's an even rarer treat to be able to yap about one of my favorite movies in the world!!!

Go listen to this very fun ep Johnny did with me for Culture Dumpster :-)

"He's not a Nazi or a bigot... he just supports Trump for a few of his policies, but not all of them." (said by family members of MAGA).
Really? Which policy exactly? Name a single Trump policy that doesn't instantly make you a huge pile of shit for supporting it.
Evil is evil. All MAGAs are evil.

A tweet from “MeidasTouch” reads: “Casually extorting the American taxpayer out of tens of millions of dollars on live television.” Below is a tweet from “Acyn” quoting Graham saying his phone records were seized and he plans to sue; when asked “For how much?” he replies, “Tens of millions of dollars.” The image shows Graham speaking on the show Hannity.

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.
