Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Umm WWII took place during the 20thC; fascists don’t compromise so WWII is the playbook.

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

VA Secretary Doug Collins on widespread cuts to his department and the impact on veterans The Trump administration announced it's planning to fire thousands more employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs as part of the White House effort to dramatically downsize the federal workforce...

WOW. Doug Collins says Veterans shouldn't just "sit there" and "feel alone," and that it's their responsibility to take care of themselves. He also accuses veterans of being incapable of understanding what's happening to their care. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Well said!

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

It can't get a distributor in the US.

Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve.

This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme.

Hello?

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮

#SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

What Trump and Vance did today was the most disgraceful action by any American President and Vice-President in our 249-year history. We must remove them from office.

Opinion | Three Former E.P.A. Leaders: You’ll Miss It When It’s Gone When the next environmental catastrophe arrives, who will be there to deal with the emergency and its aftermath?

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..."

U.S. Terminates Funding for Polio, H.I.V., Malaria and Nutrition Programs Around the World Here are some of the 5,800 contracts the Trump administration formally canceled this week in a wave of terse emails.

Never forgive, never forget

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system.

Treasury stays silent.

White House stays silent.

Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.

We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

EXCUSE me?! The unelected, unconfirmed, apparently all-powerful person in charge of destroying our government from within must remain SECRET?! #TrumpCorruption #ThisIsAmerica now

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇

@housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

No they don’t! Their occupation is illegal

The uncomfortable truth about Israel is that it’s not just Netanyahu, it’s their entire system and right wing ideology which we allow to coerce our own policies and politicians. How many times in our lifetimes have we been told “we stand with Israel” despite Israel not once standing with us? Enough.

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

We’ve seen this movie before.

US objects to calling out ‘Russian aggression’ in G7 statement on Ukraine Trump administration splits with allies on holding Moscow responsible for war

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
