Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Former President Barack Obama boarded an Honor Flight on Monday to greet 79 veterans and their families as they arrived to visit Washington’s war memorials.

Mamdani is too late, the Trump administration is already seizing the means of production.

Other states need to begin intentional punishment of the hostile Texas government, including cancelling state government contracts with Texas companies and interfering with their commerce such as by imposing onerous Texas-company-specific certifications and licensing.

Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

She is SO CLOSE to getting it.

ive never seen anything like rhetoric coming from the right in the last week, this is absolutely insane and it needs to stop and people in power need to start speaking the fuck up like right the fuck now

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

this should've happened a long time ago, but today's as good a time as any for any Democratic politician to declare they no longer wish to work with a party whose leader is complicit in the sex trafficking of minors

"Eat shit, fuckers."

i need yall to stop thinking that shitty people who do shitty things must be doing them because they’re being blackmailed. almost always, they do the shitty things simply because they’re shitty people.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Josh Hawley is rolling out his compelling 2028 persona, Guy Who Feels Your Pain Now That The Bills He Voted For Made Your Life Miserable

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales.

This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide.

We are doing this and history will never forgive us.

Gaza:

As hard as it is to read, you must.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Trump Celebrates Fourth of July by Deporting Veterans and Their Families Donald Trump is carrying out the cruelest and most sweeping mass deportation program in modern U.S. history — and he’s even targeting veterans.

MSNBC put together a supercut of Republicans trashing on Trump's big bill before they voted for it

Folks who are in denial about the venality of mainstream Christianity are realizing, way too late, that they’d like to put the horse back in the barn. Perhaps the time for action was before the fascist coup, the white supremacist uprising, or the systematized child abuse supply chains.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

Internal VA Emails Reveal How Trump Cuts Jeopardize Veterans’ Care, Including To “Life-Saving Cancer Trials” Despite a congressional mandate to expand care for veterans, internal Veterans Affairs messages obtained by ProPublica paint a stark portrait of how chaotic cost cutting has already imperiled tests…

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

The Trump Administration’s War on Children The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Trump has indefinitely withdrawn federal funding for:
• Investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against kids;
• Responding to reports of missing children;
• Preventing youth violence

New, @propublica.org

It’s incredibly disheartening to live in a country where half of the population looks at this and listens to this and thinks “this is the best person in history he is my kind.”

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Bro, don't even look at your 401k tomorrow you're not gonna live to 65.

Trump’s Latest Bid to Rewrite Reality From the Smithsonian to statues, he wants to whitewash America’s past.
