And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Bailing out Argentina, building his ballroom, and waging war on Americans using federal funds. And now they're firing people. There's no reason to come to the table for anything at all. What's that whole "when your opponent is making a mistake, don't get in the way" thing? Don't come to the table.

People in right wing bubbles tell each other recurring stories over and over and stick their fingers in their ears when confronted with contradictory evidence. And they look to each other for validation.

Buttigieg: You’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would rather see the entire government shut down than allow Americans to afford their healthcare.

“I’m so happy” 🇮🇹

Italian drivers stuck in standstill traffic because of the massive nationwide pro-Palestine protests are… completely fine with it

Former FBI Director James Comey reacts to indictment by the Trump administration: “We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either.”

Bravo to New Mexico on two fronts:

📌 Universal Childcare for every family

📌 Special Session next week to address Medicaid cuts and exploding insurance premiums caused by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and to take on the corporate hospital crisis

This should be nationwide!

Well looky here. I guess that the revenue loss was just too much for ABC’s parent company, Disney.

It’s gonna be messy in the WH tonight!

Charlie Kirk Got a State Funeral. The Truth Got Buried. Mainstream media is failing America in real time. Fight back!

Bigot Charlie Kirk’s memorial got wall-to-wall coverage fit for a state funeral—while dissenting voices were erased.

Corporate media is complicit in elevating him to national martyr status. It’s on us to share & spread the truth they bury.

Support independent journalism!

“It’s weird to think of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert as the canaries in the coal mine,” the comedian @wkamaubell.bsky.social tells @jemelehill.bsky.social. “But if they’re telling us, ‘We’re not afraid of rich white men,’ what can the rest of us do?”⁠

Recognize the blueprint that Carl Schmitt laid out for Hitler?

Carr: We're going to back to that era where local TV stations, judging the public interest, get to decide what the American people think…

I don’t think this is the last shoe to drop… the consequences will continue to flow.

EPA tells some scientists to stop publishing studies, employees say Staff from the EPA’s Office of Water were summoned to a town hall meeting this week and told to pause the publication of most research, pending a review.

The EPA has ordered scientists in at least one of its research offices to immediately pause almost all efforts to publish research.

The studies will now be subject to a new review process.

That decision — to reevaluate all manuscripts — was made by Trump political appointees.

Why Fascists Fear Teachers Teachers are under siege not for anything they do wrong, but for what they do right.

Related: Randi Weingarten on why authoritarians fear a well-educated citizenry. They fear what educators do, teach critical thinking, honest history, pluralism. Authoritarians cannot survive in a democracy of diverse, educated citizens. Public education is essential.

Why bother negotiating with some who is telegraphing on national television that he will cave?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Who could have imagined that a guy who uses the moniker “Ka$h” would take over the FBI and shut down the bribery investigations of his buddies?

Advice from long time tv meteorologist @wildweatherdan.bsky.social on the best way to hit back against the censorship of Jimmy Kimmel.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Imagine being this wealthy, and feeling it necessary to brown-nose the 🍊
