At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

She was great tonight in Seattle, discussing her new book, and singing 3 songs for us. Tomorrow night is her concert.

Patti Smith’s β€˜Horses’ Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary (Gift Article) In 1975, she transformed poetry into punk. Neither would ever be the same. More than 20 artists who made and admired the album share their memories.

If you're looking for something to dislodge that Gordon Lightfoot earworm, tomorrow is ALSO the 50th anniversary of Patti Smith's debut album. Like Bruce Springsteen says, starts with "probably the greatest opening line of anyone’s debut album in rock ’n’ roll."

This is a fun piece:

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

πŸ’ͺ Nearly 23 hours in, Merkley isn’t filibustering for attention: he’s fighting for We the People.

From calling out Trump’s authoritarian tactics to exposing GOP attacks on healthcare and justice, he’s proving that courage doesn’t clock out.

Thank you @merkley.senate.gov

Trump is demolishing the East Wing of the White House to build a ballroom. Construction and the coup

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

Letitia James criminally charged in Trump’s latest effort to punish rivals Prosecutor who sought charges was installed amid Trump frustrations with pace of investigations against rivals

BREAKING: A Trump-installed prosecutor has indicted NY AG Letitia James, a public servant who held Trump accountable in court.

Career DOJ officials said there was no case. Trump’s team found one anyway.

This is what political prosecution looks like.

PNW loses over $1B in federal funding for clean energy projects The federal spending cuts are part of an effort announced this week by the White House to scale back spending on clean energy projects in Democratic states.

The Trump Administration’s politically motivated decision to strip funds from the pioneering Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub is unprecedented and corrupt. (1/3)

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.

Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.

For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

Only about $1.60 of tax dollars per US citizen per year was spent on the public broadcasting budget.

If you donate $20 a year, you're covering what your tax dollars would have done. If you do a monthly donation of $7, your donation can equal the tax dollars of 54 people spent on PBS per year.
