We know how Peter Thiel built and bankrolled his personal political puppet, Vance. We know heβs a billionaire who, like Musk, grew wealthy off of the government dole. We know about his association with pedophiles and rapists like Epstein and friends. We know about ICE surveillance. Yet, CRICKETS.

Given DOGEβs f#ckery at SSA, I am not thrilled that the βSAVE America Actβ aims to compel states to purge voters via SSAβs Number Verification system & DHSβs SAVE program, which accesses the SSA system. I wish some election security experts would look at this & talk me down.

Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases
Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.
Measles is a bellwether. Because itβs the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, itβs the first to start spreading.
Now weβve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.βs successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Support our campaign to oppose MAGA extremism
Trumpβs cruel legislation strips 17 million Americans of health insurance through the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, while making it easier for the wealthy to buy private jets through expanded tax breaks.
Their actions show us who they are. Shame!

Reports published today indicate that Russell Vought, who played a central and direct role in the dismantling and defunding of USAID is using $15 million of those same funds to pay for his personal security detail.
This is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, hands down.

Put on your bathrobe, cancel your Amazon, Netflix, Apple and any other pay for play service that props up ICE and give a monthly, sustaining donation to your local public journalism outlets. For me itβs @wrvo.org and @pbs.org

Iβm so disgusted that my federal income tax pays for this corrupt federal government to build internment camps for people they deem domestic enemies.

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS
The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.
NEW β I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.

Whoβs behind the lawsuit that could slow Micronβs chipmaking project in Upstate NY?
A California-based advocacy group is bankrolling the suit, which is about more than additional environmental study.
Proud of everyday people who are pushing back against Micron. This project destroys over 200 acres of crucial wetlands and steals potable water from Lake Ontario for its dirty chip plant. The environmental damage far outweighs any economic impact. As home prices soar,living here is less affordable.
