No one should gloss over how appalling this is. A president who feels this comfortable demeaning women, and so many others, is nothing short of embarrassing and shameful.

I'm listening to a great podcast called "Right Now with Perry Bacon." He's interviewing Stanford poli. sci. professor Adam Bonica who suggests a winning platform for Dems going forward is Anti-Corruption - no stock trading for legislators, no accepting $$ from millionaires/billionaires & much more.

Opt Out October: Daily Tips to Protect Your Privacy and Security Trying to take control of your online privacy can feel like a full-time job. But if you break it up into small tasks and take on one project at a time it makes the process of protecting your privacy

Take some time this weekend to get caught up in our #OptOutOctober series, where we’re providing daily tips to reclaim your privacy, one small task at a time. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Always keep your cameras rolling. Federal officials are scheduled to appear in court today, where they’ll face questions over whether the government breached a prior order by deploying tear gas during immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area.

Supreme Court Denies Review of Ghislaine Maxwell's Conviction Maxwell will remain behind bars for more than a decade, unless Trump pardons her

NEWS: The United States Supreme Court has declined to review Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal convictions for sex trafficking

After the Portland ruling, Illinois is now taking action. The state filed a lawsuit today seeking to block the Trump administration from deploying federalized National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago.

The image is an X post by Rep. Ted Lieu (@RepTedLieu ) from 3 hours ago, with the caption "Hmmm... weird." The post includes a meme with three panels. The first panel, labeled "Republicans when they have to vote on the Epstein files," shows an empty hallway with an American flag. The second panel, labeled "Republicans when there's a government shutdown," shows an empty conference room. The third panel, labeled "Republicans when it's time to cut taxes for billionaires," shows a group of people clapping and cheering.

Rep. Ted Lieu is so good at this.

The image shows two X posts. The first, by Juliette Kayyem (@juliettekayyem ) from 1 hour ago, states: "'Take care of' is not subtle. This weekend the ground has shifted and no person can deny what the president, unpopular and unfit, intends. To remain silent is to welcome this. They can both sides or claim they didn't hear, but there is no wiggle room about his plans now." The second, by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar ) from 6 hours ago, quotes Trump addressing the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats." The post includes a photo of Trump speaking to a group in Navy uniforms, with a caption noting he "called the Democrats. They want to give all of our money to illegal."

No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.

JUST IN: Proud Boys leaders granted clemency by Trump are suing the federal government for $100 million. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is an astounding grift. Trump will order to DoJ to not fight back, and then get a big chunk of the money paid laundered back to him.

He can do this for every single person he pardons, and likely will: Have them sue for 'false imprisonment', have the DoJ submit, and take his cut.

In San Francisco, Harvey Milk’s Name Isn’t Going Anywhere

Gay rights #icon, Harvey Milk 👑, is California’s first openly gay elected official. He was assassinated 11 months later. The state celebrates Harvey Milk Day every May 22 on his birthday. In the body of water Trump 🖕 calls the Gulf of America, sits one of many tributes to him. For now, anyway… 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸

But this would require recipients working full time for an employer who actually offers healthcare benefits. So the plan will kick millions off of ALL healthcare.

America: where you need a license to cut hair, but not to be Surgeon General.
