Former Social Security chief says Americans should 'be outraged' Career employees at Social Security tried to resist the seeming misconduct from the Trump admin when they perceived it. The problem is that they were ignored.

“These guys handed the keys to the safe over to the data robbers, and then tried to cover it up" ... "Americans should be outraged.”

Yes, Americans Should Be Outraged‼️

Following assaults in VA and MI today, both possibly by naturalized citizens according to some reports, there’s a lot of open talk in MAGA circles about the need to crack down on legal immigration. Dan Bongino was just on Ingraham saying it; have been seeing it all over.

The numbers are shifting, but let’s be honest. A huge chunk of CA voters still have no idea who most of these candidates are.

That 24% undecided is the real story. It could flip this race overnight.

Dems stuck in single digits are not expanding the field, they’re diluting it and need to drop out.

The Blogs: Why the strongest power in the Iran War has the weakest hand In an odd convergence of interests, Iran and Israel both benefit from a prolonged war, leaving the United States with the most to lose

“Iran and Israel, enemies in virtually every other context, share a common interest in the continuation of this war. Their interests are aligned. And that alignment, more than any missile or lobbying effort, is the trap holding the United States in place.”

The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.

This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇

I’m an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics “Scientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place,” writes Jenna Norton, NIH whistleblower.

Everybody should know who @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social is.
In this day and age it is more risky to keep your head down than to be the whistleblower that we needs.

Right now, being called "a radical leftist" is a badge of honor. And imperative.

A U.S. Air Force KC-135 refueling aircraft has crashed in western Iraq with a crew of six. No confirmation on their status, but it is highly unlikely they survived.

Prior to this crash, nine U.S. service members had died in the War in Iran.

How Wall Street Priced You Out of a Home | Robert Reich Rent is skyrocketing and home buying is out of reach for millions. One big reason why? Wall Street. Let me explain.

The Senate has passed a major housing bill that cracks down on large investors who are buying up single-family homes.

It's a promising first step towards getting Wall Street out of our homes and making housing affordable again.

Interactive map titled "ICE Facilities of Interest" showing bubble indicators across the United States. Bubbles are sized by number of beds (500 to 15,000) and color-coded by status: Green (Sale Canceled), Yellow (Prospective Site), Red (Bought by ICE), and Orange (Conversion in Progress). Concentrations of large red and orange bubbles appear in Utah, Texas, and along the Northeast corridor, while yellow prospective sites are clustered in the South and Midwest.

As of this afternoon, ICE has purchased 11 warehouses for conversion into detention camps. 11 sales have been canceled.

ICE has spent $1.04 billion on warehouse acquisitions. It will cost the government an estimated $7.57 billion to operate all 11 warehouses per year.

The Iran War Has Four Stages. We’re in the Second. Regime change appears a lost cause, so what endgame are the U.S. and Israel pursuing?

Trump's Iran War has 4 stages. We are in Stage 2, with no plan for the end-game - as $billions of our tax dollars fly out the door, with thousands of our service people at risk.

Here is more great analysis from The Atlantic:
