The Corruption of Lindsey Graham A case study in the rise of authoritarianism. Sen. Lindsey Graham is a central player in the Republican party’s capitulation to Donald Trump. We can watch the GOP's turn to authoritarianism by review...

With reports that Lindsay Graham was able to engineer the war against Iran, useful to reread this long essay by Will Saletan from 2023 His insight: you didn’t need to suppose any secret reason for Graham’s submission to Trump. It was all there in the open.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

She must be an ugly ugly woman that he claims it’s on duty time to be with her. I guess he “took it for the team?”

Not a damn thing to substantiate his assertion but the fear of prison time.

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

In Europe, they’re making arrests over the Epstein scandal. In America, the regime’s making redactions and hiding evidence.

this map is damning.

Israel provides dense networks of bomb shelters for predominantly Jewish areas while predominantly Palestinian areas face barriers to shelter construction.

Team Trump Opposed War With Iran. Then They Started One Donald Trump, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Stephen Miller, and so many in MAGA claimed they would stop regime-change wars, not start them. We have the receipts.

This is one of the oldest PayPal scams running. And Reddit just showed me that PayPal's own support team doesn't know how it works.

A handful of contractors are pulling in big money equipping ICE and CBP with heavy weaponry, ammo, and other accessories as they wage their war on us. I asked Schiff's staff to list out the top contractors per their data.

The results are in the chart below. 2/

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Ten months to rule that something blatantly constitutional and illegal was, in fact, unconstitutional and illegal.

This is not a sign of a healthy system.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

CNN’s reporting about Trump’s reaction to the recent Supreme Court ruling on tariffs.  The breakfast had reportedly been going well, until Trump became enraged and began ranting about the decision, called it “a disgrace,” and at one point attacked the courts with a now famous "these fucking courts" line. Chyron reads: "Trump called the Supreme Court ruling against his tariffs “a disgrace.” The overall message conveys Trump’s anti-democracy rhetoric extending far beyond legal critique and institutional criticism to open and flaunting autocratic, unconstitutional behavior.

Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!
