U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

U.S. military reportedly used a laser to shoot down Customs and Border Protection drone, sparking new air closure The Pentagon, CBP and the FAA said in a statement that the military mitigated "a seemingly threatening unmanned aerial s

People in this country cannot afford health care. They cannot afford rent or to own a home. They cannot afford groceries. The social safety net is being cut out from underneath them.

Meanwhile the Department of Defense is shooting down drones used by Border Patrol.

Trump's "Golden Age"

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already.

Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.

Literal cancel culture: from the new Defense Dept directive

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social to @laurenboebert: “Y'all warned us about government overreach. You warned us government would cancel free speech. You warned us about government usurping the role of the church… All that is now happening and your party is enabling it.”

Prediction market or manipulation market?

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

"KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: RECORDING FEDERAL AGENTS IN PUBLIC. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement, so long as you aren't trespassing or violating a lawful order.If you're not under arrest, law enforcement needs a warrant to confiscate or search your device.If you're arrested, officers still need a warrant to search your device's contents.The government may never lawfully delete your photos or videos.While the Constitution protects your right to record and helps you defend against unjustified retaliation or arrest, the exercise of this right can still carry risks. ACLU."

The First Amendment protects your right to record government officials performing their duties in public.

This applies to ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and any other government officials.

How should we respond to Trump’s tyranny? History shows us the answer.

Something just utterly surreal about all of the last week taking place against the backdrop of the Melania theatrical release.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Professor Noah Feldman was my classmate twice over. He is one of the more brilliant minds I have ever encountered. I love how he lays it plain here.

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Democrats passed a common-sense rule to provide passengers with compensation when their flights were cancelled.

Trump just got rid of it.

This Administration is always looking for new ways to take money out of your pocket. Despicable.

On days like today I like to recall some wise advice: hope is not a fleeting emotion, it is a discipline.

Thank you everybody! We’ve been backing several efforts to halt data center developments in different communities, and it turns out you’re making a huge impact. A new analysis shows that, in just a three-month period earlier this year, the

BREAKING: Today, in a win for our constitutional rights, a federal judge ruled that DHS and ICE likely violated the Fifth Amendment by denying detained immigrants’ lawful access to their attorneys.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
