Let them eat cake.

‘1984’ is upon us

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM.

She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group.

"Conflicts of interest" is an understatement.

The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

In the dead of night, House Republicans pushed through their bill to defund public radio across rural America — supposedly for “deficit reform.”

Spare us lectures about the deficit when you voted TWO WEEKS AGO to increase it by trillions to give tax cuts to billionaires!

When you’re definitely not guilty.

Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review.

Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

This 👇 is going to fundamentally change America. An internal security force with ever expanding powers impacting citizens and non-citizens.

With a mission that already expands far beyond what Americans voted for in November 2024.

Correct!

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way?


HEGSETH: What is that based on?

SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Are we great yet?

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for.

Kudos, Sir.🌦️

This is just a straight-up lie. The post-truth insular information ecosystem on the right is just letting them lie to our faces

Over/under on last time this guy rode public transportation? I'll say 20 years ago... and I'll take the under

It’s been around since 1983.

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

In a world where every athlete and entertainer hosts a podcast where they get other players and marquee names as guests, shows like this become stale, and hearing the opinions of media members instead of the ones in the game seems antiquated

Everything he touches goes bankrupt.

Bondi Sold Millions in Trump Media Stock the Day Trump Imposed Vast Tariffs

Attorney General Pam Bondi sold $1 million to $5 million worth of shares in President Trump’s media company last month on the same day that he announced expansive tariffs that led to a stock market rout, according to disclosure filings.

I've heard from those in Venice that the lack of affordable grocery options was taking a toll.

Today, I'm announcing a $2.4M investment for them to build a new, municipally owned grocery store — and over $10M to address food deserts statewide through our Grocery Initiative.

Trump Gushes with Envy Toward the House of Saud American-style kleptocracy is fine and all. But what Trump really wants is the kind with aggressive repression, no dissent, and a bone saw on hand just in case.

“Trump chose to visit not a democracy but a despotism; not a free nation but one of the world’s most unfree; not a land of tolerance but of repression…The American president admires the Saudi achievements in autocracy, plutocracy, and kleptocracy.”

The man who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States because of terrorism is meeting this week with the former head of Al Qaeda in Syria.

So many layers of corruption.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"

I'd rather be stranded on an island with Caillou than have one cup of coffee with Stephen Miller.

Trump administration discontinues $1 billion in school mental health grants The Trump administration will not renew grants worth $1 billion that were aimed at boosting mental health services in schools, a Department of Education official said.

The Trump administration just erased $1 billion in school mental health funding. The grants were bipartisan - and the need is urgent.

As @rweingarten.bsky.social said: with one stroke of the pen, they wiped away progress our kids were counting on.

Remember, those who claim to be enraged that an almost imperceptible amount of federal dollars goes to NPR and PBS are currently before the Supreme Court demanding that your taxpayer money be spent to fund a Christian school in Oklahoma that definitionally trafficks in propaganda
