"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025."

Trump Taps Palantir to Create Master Database on Every American Trump’s dystopian plan is already underway.

Thou shalt NOT claim to care about 'government overreach' whilst setting up a government database on everyone in the entire country.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

Head of CBS News to Depart Amid Tensions With Trump

"CBS News faced another shock wave... after its president, Wendy McMahon, abruptly said that she would exit her post, the latest development in an ongoing showdown between the news division and President Trump."

The hobbling of the free press continues.

I watched final destination that came out in May. Can't really recommend the movie but I was just thinking about the turtle at the end.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

This is one of the best illustrations explaining trickle down economics that I’ve seen!

And why do Trump & Republicans want to expand tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations?

We’ve got to bring fairness to our tax code & stop squeezing the wealth & earned benefits away from the American peopleβ€¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

This behavior sounds familiar, it’s unscrupulous, and if true, must be illegal…

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct

Can someone explain the hate towards sinners. I really like coogler who is the director. I'm not sure if this is something that he's doing outside of the studio.

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:
