Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do…

Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money.

And this parade helped nobody.

Iran has nukes is the 2020s version of Iraq has WMDs in 2000s.

Stop letting propaganda slogans convince you to let wealthy elites send our young men and women to war.

We need justice and diplomacy, not fear and destruction.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

Comments like Johnson’s are what happens when you ban books instead of reading them.

NGC 6565 looks to me like a miniature Ring Nebula. I'm rather fond of these nebulas with rather rainbow-like gradients from blue in the center to red at the perimeter. I made an effort to reduce the size of the stars which would otherwise be bright green due to the green channel being f555w.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right.

But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

One indicator of how detached from reality is MAGA.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

14,000 babies are at risk of dying in the next 48 hours in Gaza if aid doesn’t reach them, warns Tom Fletcher, the UN’s under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs – a figure he called “utterly chilling.”

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption. Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.” “Here are the 16 Dems. I don't know what to tell you, folks. It's bad. Alsobrooks Blunt Rochester Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Lujan Ossoff Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner”

Last night, 16 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance a crypto-friendly bill that will enable Trump’s corruption.

Instead of standing up to Trump, these 16 Democrats decided they’d rather do a big favor for the crypto industry and legitimize an avenue for Trump to collect bribes.
