The richest family in the United States, the Waltons, made money by not paying Walmart employees enough. This forced employees to seek government assistance for food and healthcare.

Republicans’ response is to take away that assistance because the Waltons aren’t rich enough.

Wolves are harmless towards people.

The Onion NYT ad. The headline of the editorial says “CONGRESS, NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS YOUR COWARDICE”

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

"I'm not voting for Kamala because she's going to drag us into WW III"

The result? A Wild West-style land rush, all to fund giveaways to the rich at the expense of veterans, rural communities, Indigenous nations, and every American who cherishes wild places.

Meanwhile, under-resourced local governments are expected to bid against commercial developers -without help.

Tribal Nations aren’t even allowed a first shot at reclaiming their own sacred lands.

And let’s be clear: this isn't about affordable housing.

The bill has NO safeguards to ensure lands are actually used for housing. They can be resold for other uses after 10 years. It’s a Trojan horse.

The bill is a double betrayal:

It sells out your access to America’s outdoor heritage to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

120 million acres of public lands eligible for sale in SENR budget reconciliation package The bill mandates disposal of over 2 million acres of BLM and National Forest lands; public lands eligible for sale in the bill encompass over 120 million acres, including local recreation areas, wild...

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input.

These aren’t just any lands.
They include:

🌱 Wilderness study areas
🌲 Roadless national forests
🫎 Big game migration corridors
🥾Local recreation lands
❤️‍🔥 Tribal homelands and sacred sites (with NO right of first refusal)

Buried in a Senate budget bill is a massive giveaway to corporate developers and fossil fuel companies.

It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

“Whiskey Pete Hegseth has become a perfect advertisement for the lie of white supremacy”

Liza is one of the experts on these issues. Read the whole thread.

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America and fascism is in full bloom.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.

The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Stop. We're not rioting here in Los Angeles. Trump isn't removing criminals. He's scooping up our friends and neighbors and denying them due process. We're protecting them with our bodies and making it difficult for ICE to commit these crimes. There is a difference.

Here's the official release from the White House, and apparently, we're in a state "of rebellion". 😒

Fellow Californians, you know the drill. Every one of us should be speed dialing:

- Our federal electeds
- Our state electeds
- Newsom
- And Bonta right now.

Bravo.

When you bow down to Trump, he will claim it shows that his conspiracy theories are correct, and only encourage his authoritarianism. Thank you, Big Law cowards.

It's all a game to billionaires. They only play to win for themselves, not you. You are just a piece they move around the board to do so.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment?

They utterly failed the test of history.

I have a signed copy of Fantasyland on my shelf. I should get busy and read it.

A consequence of the 2nd law of thermodynamics with implications for our current politics

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
