Donald Trump, hard at work honoring America's veterans by cracking down on waste, like for example the **sterilization of medical instruments** at the VA:

Mass resignation marks a new kind of defiance in the second Trump era The Trump team has rarely if ever faced such resistance from within the government, a move that may pave the way for further defiance.

"Attorneys, he said, 'don’t resign because you disagree with the policies, but because you are being asked to do something you believe is ethically, morally or legally improper'...”

Senator @johnfetterman.com , please explain your vote to confirm Pam Bondi as US Attorney General.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.

Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured.

Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.” 

No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

Trump's targets He promised revenge. Here’s who’s first on his list—and how they’re fighting back.

Donald Trump's second term instantly kicked off with an onslaught of cruel and sometimes unconstitutional orders.

These orders take aim at a long list of perceived enemies: trans families, immigrants, Democrats, and so forth.

Here's who is on the target list—and how they plan on fighting back.

Just finished reading @peterbeinart.bsky.social new book. I feel like buying 50 copies and just handing them out for free at my synagogue. It’s such an important contribution to how Jewish life and self-understanding needs to change. I can’t recommend it more highly.

Peter Beinart on ‘Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza’ Beinart joins Mehdi for a powerful discussion on the release of his new book, conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism, and the fight for Palestinian liberation.

"It's so embarrassing, the IHRA is a joke."

Watch @peterbeinart.bsky.social explain how the new and controversial IHRA definition of antisemitism is used by the right to protect Israel from criticism and crack down on free speech.

I absolutely love how quickly Canadians started placing signs in their businesses to discourage customers from buying any American products and I also love how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau specifically targeted Red States in retaliation. I love you Canada, I’m rooting for you.

Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau.

Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?

It’ll always anger and disgust me that so many people would’ve rather seen an evil racist rapist convicted felon become a dictator than a supremely qualified woman of color become President.
