Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden

I take comfort in DOJ’s failure to fabricate crimes, but the effort alone is a disgusting abuse of power.

The reason why our stockpiles are seriously depleted is not because of Joe Biden. It is because the Iran War is the SEVENTH bombing campaign by Trump in the past year. And that doesn’t count the Venezuelan boats. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Pete Hegseth C*ckblocks Anthropic And OpenAI collects its winnings.

"Let’s not bury the lede here: The DoD wants to use AI for fully autonomous lethal systems and mass surveillance of American citizens. Anthropic said 'no,' and now the US government is retaliating by trying to destroy it." — @lizdye.bsky.social

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies.

I defy anyone to justify this.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

A grassroots boycott called QuitGPT has been spreading across the US and beyond, asking people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions. More than a million people have answered the call.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

Minnesota launches investigation that could bring charges against US immigration officers US county attorney is ‘confident’ her office will be able to pursue charges in cases which led to criticisms of use-of-force policies

Hennepin county attorney Mary Moriarty reports that her office is looking into 17 cases that might result in charges against ICE officers, including Bovino

The majority of America’s teachers — a whopping 71% — have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid.

Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

Priorities.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Binance’s MAGA-Branding Strategy The world’s largest crypto exchange often operates beyond the reach of the law. Now its helping to enrich the Trump family.

On its way to becoming the world’s dominant crypto exchange, Binance became notorious as a financial conduit for cyber criminals, sanctions evaders, and militant groups. Now it enjoys the backing of the Trump family and the Trump White House.

Important story from @themarshallproject.org on what happens when families are released from DHS detention:

“It boggles the mind why we're disrupting people from their immigration proceedings only to abduct them, incarcerate them at Dilley, and then just recycle them out the back door”

Black and white photo of James Boggs, wearing a light-colored sweater, seated with his forehead resting in his hand.

"If the black revolt does not succeed... Americans are going to discover what it is like to live as the black man has been living all these years, in constant terror of violence from the mob & from the police, never certain what rights he can exercise under the law & under the Constitution."

Same Brutal ICE. Now Stealthier. ICE has learned how to be cruel and lawless without drawing so much attention to itself.

"Assaulting protesters and then gunning them down in the street is out; carelessly dropping a blind, helpless man in a coffee-shop parking lot to freeze to death is still very much in."

The SEIGE OF MINNEAPOLIS CONTINUES:

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures.

Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people.

We do not want another forever war.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

It’s way past time for threats. There’s either rule of law in the United States or there isn’t. The lack of consequences already so far suggests there isn’t.

So let’s think about this.

A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.

The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge is threatening to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt if they continue defying court orders in immigration cases.
