DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

So dangerous.

I really appreciate the work that
@heyjohnrussell.bsky.social and
@moreperfectunion.bsky.social are doing to reach poor white voters in red states.

I’ve always thought that getting Bernie Sanders in front of Trump voters would be fruitful and it was.

Trump signs proclamation imposing annual $100,000 fee on H-1B visas Move deals potentially major blow to US tech industry, which relies heavily on workers from India and China

25% of Drs in US are foreign grads. Many are on an H1B visa. This will hit health systems hard especially rural hospitals and hospitals in underserved areas that sponsor these visas through waiver programs. The old cost was about 5000$ a year.

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

There goes the First Amendment.

"In those wretched Countries where a Man cannot call his Tongue his own, he can scarce call any Thing else his own. Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing the Freeness of Speech; a Thing terrible to Publick Traytors." - Benjamin Franklin

How the Trump Administration Is Dismantling America’s Cancer-Research System

It’s horrific and inexplicable. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are objectively pro-cancer. They’re destroying the entire infrastructure that has made so much progress and is poised to make much more. People will suffer and die because of them. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

Every Day, Another Grotesque Secret Trump’s letter to Epstein is undeniable. The White House spin is literally unbelievable. The MAGA base has been training all decade for this.

"So, a lesson for the media, for Democrats, and for all of us: Keep on insisting, keep on pushing, keep on fighting for the truth about Epstein—and Trump." www.thebulwark.com/p/every-day-...

We’re not getting there. We are there.

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth.

It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY.

She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker.

Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

MAGA Turns on Trump After His Latest Desperate Epstein Post The president has become embroiled in the civil war that is engulfing MAGA.

Epstein makes Trump unravel like nothing else. He’s terrified someone’s going to read what his own DOJ put in the files.

And it’s the reason we should never shut up about it. 🔥✊🏼

The fact that Indivisible took the approach that empowered people to work together to start protests where they live rather than travel to a central location/big city to protest is a game changer. It mixes convenience with pride in your hometown, and the great benefit is building communities.
