Jake Lang, the white supremacist leader of this violent rally, was pardoned by Trump after participating in January 6th.

Imagine if Democrats had pardoned someone who then led a violent attack on Republican mayors?

It'd be 24-7 news. Our media institutions all bend the knee to the right-wing.

There is no limit to Trump’s corruption

GOP advantage here has always been based on lying, misinformation and a complicit media. Since those things haven't changed, this is--at best--a blip. Dems can't count on any of this lasting. We can't just move on to business as usual. There has to be hearings and prosecutions for crimes this time.

All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far According to a simple average of new high-quality surveys, 38% of Americans approve and 49% disapprove of U.S. military action. When ignoring "don't know" respondents, 56% disapprove

If you ignore people who say they “don’t know” how they feel about the war, disapproval of Trump’s actions is already at 56%. That is higher than the resistance to Vietnam in 1971.

A pot of good news.

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

Yes! Thanks to @amirarose.bsky.social for sharing this important information

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Science is worth fighting for.

I’m proud to join @standupforscience.bsky.social to stand up for vaccines that prevent disease, for research that cures cancer, for data that helps us confront climate change, and for discoveries we cannot even imagine yet.
 
The stakes could not be higher.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Reupping.

Not only did Trump minimize possibility of terrorist attacks on US. But White House nixed a law enforcement bulletin ABOUT those threats.

I think the secretary of defense should not be a psychopath

If Dems had their own Fox News and other cogs of a propaganda machine, Andrew Paul Johnson would become a household name a la Willie Horton.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the evidence is piling up that, for this president, corruption is the rule, not the exception.

Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormity—billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Dan Greenberg.
