My dad died of Mesothelioma. Took about 40 years from his exposure to kill him. We now know the risks of Asbestos and It’s a really shitty to die. Innocent people now have an increased risk because of a vanity project for a #MadMan.

As food assistance runs out and he refuses to use the contingency fund— he posts about his new marble bathroom

F.C.C. Changes Course on the Price of Prisoners’ Phone Calls

It literally took decades of advocacy to pass these reforms, which would have prevented prison phone and teleconferencing companies from ripping off inmates and their families to the tune of hundreds of millions annually

Dozens of States Sue Trump Administration Over Planned Food Stamp Cuts

The Trump administration has a rainy day fund that will keep SNAP from expiring in November. Trump is refusing to use it.

Funding SNAP isn't a choice he can make. It's a legal obligation. USDA must release the funds and stop punishing the American people.

John Dickerson, Anchor and Correspondent, Will Leave CBS News He is a veteran anchor with a long family legacy at CBS, and his exit presages a series of changes expected at the broadcast news division.

The anchor John Dickerson said on Monday that he would depart CBS News at the end of the year, the first sign of what is expected to be a major shake-up at the network under its new corporate owners.

Racist ass.

Lots more detail in here about this outrageous arrest. The guy has been in jail for weeks now for posting a quote by President Trump.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

these are a different set of republican racist texts than the previous set of republican racist and nazi texts

Speaker of the House holding a formal presser to announce that Jesus is the king of everyone in the USA should be getting more attention

The numbers are there: now is the time to define what those that choose to participate are after — then see how many show up after goals are articulated.

Every Republican on the Sunday shows should be forced to comment on this. Show them. Make them watch

That won't happen. But should

JD Vance brushes off racist texts by adults in Republican group chat as ‘what kids do’ Vice-president downplays messages such as ‘I love Hitler’ in chat by 24 to 35-year-olds to ‘stupid jokes’

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill.

Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

The biggest challenge is convincing people that things could be different and that their actions matter.

This is terrorism and mayhem. Cities and states have an obligation to enforce laws to prevent it.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

As the President meets with the architect of #Project2025, it's worth revisiting my investigation from last year which found several of the plan's authors have a trail of racist and white supremacist activity:

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM/NSPM-7 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE                THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

Analysis | Kirk’s memorial was an emblem of the Trump era — and a sign of what’s ahead The event showed how the line that used to separate religion and politics may no longer exist, particularly on the right.

Trump: “I hate my opponent.”
Miller: “They have arisen an army.”
Johnson: “Your godly mission is wielding the sword.”

I don’t see how anyone truly wrestling with the teachings of Jesus, or seeking to imitate him, could align with these people, this spectacle.

Trump -11 on immigration now despite every single enlightened centrist intellectual saying Dems should not talk about it because surely public opinion can’t ever change!!

Perspective | Allied leaders were anti-Nazi, but not anti-racist. We’re now paying the price for their failure. The high cost of failing to fight white supremacy during World War II.

Exactly. Churchill opposed German expansion; FDR railed against “barbarism.” But neither fought racial hierarchy itself—Jim Crow, Japanese internment, and rejection of Jewish refugees prove it. Confronting racial hierarchy was the historical path not taken.

The Allies beat the Nazis but left white supremacy intact.

Today's Democratic Party cannot truly counter the radicalized Republican Party until it accepts that this—the fight over racial hierarchy itself—is the battle of our times.

A digital ad from Cuin.CA promoting Canadian immigration eligibility. The image features a smiling man in a suit with gray hair standing confidently with his hand on his chin. Behind him is a waving Canadian flag with a red maple leaf. Bold pink and white text overlays the image, reading: “Canada is Looking for You.” The Cuin.CA logo appears in the lower right corner, along with a prompt to “Check Your Eligibility Now!” and a “Learn more” button.

A recruitment ad from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) promoting careers as CBP officers. The image shows a uniformed female officer walking along train tracks with a police dog, surrounded by shipping containers. Large text reads: “BE AN OFFICER OF PURPOSE,” “GREAT SALARY, GREAT MISSION. BECOME A CBP OFFICER,” and “JOIN OUR MISSION.” The CBP badge is prominently displayed in the upper left, and the website “careers.cbp.gov” is listed at the bottom. The ad encourages viewers to “Join Our Talent Network Today.”

Trump’s economy based on my ads: export yourself, or export someone else.
