From The Atlantic:

The passage of the “big, beautiful bill” through narrow Republican majorities is the most consequential demonstration yet of how tightly Trump controls his party.

Political violence is surging as Trump kills prevention efforts, a top security expert warns Former DHS official William Braniff talks about building an innovative model for stopping terrorism—and how its loss may harm America.

Since March, the Trump administration has dismantled a leading office at the Department of Homeland Security whose mission was averting terrorism and targeted violence.

It also comes as high-profile acts of political violence have surged in the United States.

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

“We don't want kings, we don't want fascists, we don't want oligarchs for very simple reasons – those people cannot represent us! They are surrounded by the hirelings, by the minions, by the bootlicking billionaires.” – Timothy Snyder, author of “On Tyranny” at the Philadelphia No Kings Day protest

He's not my favorite and he's clearly a crazy person, but my god can Tom Cruise make a film.

DOGE Developed Error-Prone AI Tool to “Munch” Veterans Affairs Contracts We obtained records showing how a Department of Government Efficiency staffer with no medical experience used artificial intelligence to identify which VA contracts to kill. “AI is absolutely the wron...

Jeffries: Yes Joni, the American people know that at some point in their lives, they are going to pass away. The cause of death should not be Republican cruelty

"Hasta el TACO, baby." 😎

“Don’t be afraid” could be considered a central theme from @hcrichardson.bsky.social letters. Speak up, stand up for what is right, talk about choices both individually and collectively for education, governance and healthcare. There’s great power in our voice.

Or, we're all going to die. But some of you are going to die sooner because of these cuts. And my message is please stop whining about it because me and my top supporters just don't care about that.

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:”

“It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.”

Nailed it!

Opinion | Beware: We Are Entering a New Phase of the Trump Era

Is it all inevitable? We are only 4 months into a 4 year term. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/o...

He’s turning the White House into his personal cash cow. Trump’s message to the American people couldn’t be clearer: Let them eat cake.

Let’s cut funds to education, healthcare-gosh everything but the military. And then spend $45 million+ on a military parade. On Trump’s birthday no less. Ugh. In my mind I associate such parades with places like Russia and North Korea. Two places I don’t want America to be like.

Musk to step back from political spending: ‘I think I’ve done enough’ “If I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I don't currently see a reason,” he said.

That’s because he got his money’s worth in regulatory relief. If a Dem would help him, he’s shift like a badly built building on an earthquake www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

The Republican "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" certainly doesn't want to display its beauty in daylight.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

Kittens! Because politics and economy news are killing me.

Lmao.

The new GOP position is that as long as the crime is blatant and in the open, it’s fine.

Absolute clown party.
