There is blood on the hands of Donald Trump, RFK, and every Republican who has allowed this sham to go on for far too long. When kids die unnecessarily and once-eradicated diseases darken the doors of terrified families and pediatricians, Americans will know who is responsible.

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

New in PN: A war criminal without a war

"Weโ€™re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, itโ€™s just murder."

ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning. No accountability. Just armored agents treating Tucson like a war zone. If theyโ€™ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do to everyone else. Sick MFers.

This is absolutely unprecedented and unforgivable to do this to someone. Completely cruel. Reminiscent of Nazi Germany โ€”AGAIN

I am real sick of hearing "We haven't had a case of X in 30 years, why do we need to get a booster or initial vaccine?" COME ON, PEOPLE. USE THOSE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. The reason you haven't seen a case in years IS BECAUSE OF THE VACCINE.

Theyโ€™re killing people as a twitter joke. Itโ€™s depraved. Canโ€™t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

It's goodโ€”very good, and very importantโ€”that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Exclusive | Hegseth Asked Top Admiral to Resign After Months of Discord The relationship between the Pentagon chief and Adm. Alvin Holsey had been rocky since Trumpโ€™s inauguration.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

it's not the most important issue right now but I would *really* like to see Democrats who want to be president announcing in no uncertain terms that anything this goober manages to carve his name on, it comes off. anything he builds, it gets torn down.

Whenever Republicans talk aboutโ€freedom,โ€ you know itโ€™s all about how much more they can take away from ordinary people. Letโ€™s let our representatives experience that same โ€œfreedomโ€ by taking away their taxpayer provided healthcare benefits.

The President of the United States of America crashed out last night on an hours-long Truth Social posting binge & not one outlet, including feckless @nytimes.com, feels this is newsworthy. This is a press asymmetry & structural problem endemic to the fascism that is now the norm in this country.

Interview by Patrick Healy with Joseph Kahn 
Why does The Times publish work that challenges our audienceโ€™s assumptions at a time when many people want their views validated?

Interview by Patrick Healy with Joseph Kahn Why does The Times publish work that challenges our audienceโ€™s assumptions at a time when many people want their views validated?

For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times storiesโ€”for example, the highlighting of Trumpโ€™s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)โ€”is not an indication that I want my โ€œviews validated.โ€

Trump has granted clemency now to more than a dozen elected officials convicted or accused of corruption - and more than 1,500 other allies, donors, and loyalist criminals. 1/2

Itโ€™s noteworthy that this was a non-consent item on the agenda. But Oakland Councilmembers opted to waive the staff presentation & moved to vote in approval of this project within just a few minutes.

This is an amazing shift from the protected bikeway slogs of years past! The momentum is real!

RIGHT?! There must be a better way. I like to patronize physical stores but this is such a disincentive, & obviously also reduces sales bc if I think of something else, I have to start all over waiting for someone to unlock it.

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"
