NEW: Gavin Newsom announces a "HISTORIC" event this Thursday

Oh, my.

Republicans nominate and confirm unqualified partisan hacks in 2025. So, the problem must be what Democrats did win the Senate in 1987.

That's right -- Emile Bove's confirmation is the fault of the 52 Democrats (and not the 6 Republicans) who voted against Bork THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO!

It’s important to see Trump’s occupation of Washington, D.C., as a trial run for a possible military occupation of the United States, including martial law, later in his term. I suspect he’s most interested in learning six things... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trial-run

I LOVE it!

50501 — 50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement Join the movement to uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach. 50 protests, 50 states, 1 day: #50501.

Those who thought democracy and freedom are abstract concepts and voted against it by not voting at all in the 2024 elections are now grimly learning Democracy 101.

No better time to see it in action.
Find your fight. Be your hero.

The Trump administration announced that the United States will not support a voluntary global plan aimed at sharply cutting greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping sector by 2050.

Finally. I've been wanting MSM would have graphics like this at the ready every time they covered trump, especially leading up to the election and during debates. You KNOW what he's gonna lie about. Have that shit ready to go!

A federal appeals court ruled that teams linked to the DOGE can access sensitive information on millions of Americans. The 2–1 decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit overturns a lower court’s February order blocking that access.

YouTube video by Associated Press Trump says he's meeting with Putin in Russia, but their summit is in Alaska

The claim to Alaska — Russia has been doing this for years — I was meaning to predict they would exploit this but waited because I thought that the Russians would wait until the day itself to use it to deride Trump. But he’s using it against himself and ahead of schedule.

No, I am not panicking. I am outraged.

I am outraged that the price of standing up to Trump — of standing for democracy — is to be subjected to endless lies, attacks and false accusations by people who know better.

Private equity is destroying hospitals, housing markets, the media, and other vital parts of our communities.

Now, thanks to Trump, private equity could soon have access to $12.2 trillion in Americans’ 401(k) and retirement plans.

Here's what you should know about the industry.

What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.

On Truth Social, Trump revealed his pick for the new Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner: E.J. Antoni, who previously served as chief economist at the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.

I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.

Apple’s AI Ambitions Leave Big Questions Over Its Climate Goals Halfway to its 2030 net-zero goal, Apple faces slow and hold-out suppliers, a tariffs scramble, and an AI race that could profoundly impact eco-friendly ambitions.

Good trouble:

Trump will send National Guard into Washington About 800 troops will assist local law enforcement amid the president’s pledge to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital.

The White House will send about 800 National Guard troops into Washington as Trump pledges to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital.

This is concerning during Trump’s press conference, he portrayed Washington as a testing ground, a place to prove MAGA can manage and “revitalize” cities better than Democrats, with the goal of making it a model for other Democratic-led cities across the USA. A model for what exactly, martial law?

Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out?

BREAKING: Federal Judge Engelmeyer has just DENIED the Trump administration’s request to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury material.

NOTE: Trump could have all the actual DOJ files released without a judge's ruling. He's just going to use this to PRETEND he wanted the files released.

Every American should be like this man when the government is reprehensible.

What is legal or illegal when there’s no rule of law?

Stand strong against fascism.
