He knows the Sunday show producers are busy stacking their rundowns. Gotta feed them topics that aren’t β€˜shutdown’, β€˜SNAP’, β€˜inflation’ or β€˜Epstein’.

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

HAYES: β€œLet me be as clear as I can β€” Trump is arguing in court to let Americans go hungry so they don’t have to negotiate with Dems over stopping some of those same Americans health care costs from skyrocketing.”

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

We never needed a list. Women came forward and named their abusers. It doesn’t matter to people who don’t believe women in the first place. And these women will never receive justice under this regime.

When you talk to voters, talk about the Trump taxes (tariffs) and the Trump recession. Economics.

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power.

It will be the economic pain.

This part:
β€œmaybe they are really quite deliberately expecting that they will show up in the history books as founders of a theocracy that overturned what they see as an evil liberal democracy”
β€œMaybe it’s all about creating a new history in which they’re the founders”

Heather Cox Richardson: November 2025 elections are what we need to focus on right now, and outcomes for issues like preserving mail-in ballots and appointing state supreme court members will depend heavily on voter turnout. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their states national guard.

Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this

ICE deportation to India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. 45 tortuous hours in shackles. And this followed an Alexandria LA to Baltimore and back aborted attempt the day before. Horrible.

Despite the fact that everything Trump does is designed to enrich himself and the billionaire cronies who paid hundreds of millions to get him elected, his greatest trick was convincing working class rural Christian white people that he’s one of them and on their side. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

A U.S. citizen and student was violently detained by ICE near the school in Chicago

They want community members too afraid to resist out of fear that they might be next.

As ICE occupations worsen, communities have proven to be a lynchpin to resisting ICE. We must build up community solidarity.

All that stucco, molding, and wood from the East Wing of the White House had to go somewhere. So @nancywalecki.bsky.social tried to find it.

My grandpa had a high school diploma and a union wage as a truck driver in Kansas City.

He made enough to let my grandma stay home with four kids and they still bought a house in the suburbs, had two cars, and sent one kid to private school and college.

That would never happen today but it should.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

The Republican Party now believes that reminding people what previous Republican presidents have said is a psychological operation against the American people.

G. Elliot Morris on Trump's dire polling "He just continues to be worse and worse than every other president before him."

New in PN: @gelliottmorris.com on Trump's dire polling

"Trump has the unique problem that he started off a lot lower than other presidents. So as he loses ground β€” and he has lost ground at about the normal clip β€” he just continues to be worse and worse than every other president before him."

This is how Trump does everything. Reporting from reliable sources says he’s going to do something outrageous/ridiculous. He immediately claims it’s fake news. Then a few days or weeks later he does exactly what was originally reported.
