Trump Is Very Confused About Nuclear Weapons The president says he wants to resume nuclear testing but doesn’t seem to know why.

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it:

Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Both Democracy Docket and the Washington Post published guest opinion pieces today. Subscribing to one or the other is a way of showing what you value. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We waited 20 years for John Bolton to be punished for telling lies about Iraq.

Instead, he gets punished for telling the truth about Trump.

Not the rapture.
Just human trafficking by a degenerate, vicious government.

This week on Stay Tuned with Preet, the Atlantic's @radiofreetom.bsky.social and @preetbharara.bsky.social discuss Newsom’s Trump-trolling social media strategy.

The FBI raided Bolton's house after Patel complained at length in his book about Bolton not wanting to hire him during the first Trump administration. Patel who also put Bolton on his published list of enemies, then this morning tweeted about the pending raid. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"To establish an authoritarian gov't, you need to capture the Justice Dept, the intelligence community, and the Defense Dept, and this is why loyalists were put in as the heads of all of these...institutions so that they will do the things like we're seeing right now." @radiofreetom.bsky.social

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.

We are heartbroken to share that Judge Frank Caprio, a beloved public servant and advocate, has passed away. Frank was diagnosed with #pancreaticcancer in 2023 and courageously shared his journey through social media, raising awareness and inspiring others with his warmth, integrity and spirit.

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

Researchers found that moisture lost to evaporation and drought, plus runoff from pumped groundwater, now outpaces the melting of glaciers and the ice sheets of either Antarctica or Greenland as the largest contributor of water to the oceans.

Opinion | Democrats leaving Texas to stop a gerrymandering power grab is grounds for removal. Republicans leaving Washington to avoid releasing the Epstein files is smart politics.

CBS News investigation of Jeffrey Epstein jail video reveals new discrepancies A CBS News investigation found discrepancies between the government's description of the Jeffrey Epstein jail video and what the video shows.

Late in the day but this is really phenomenal work by CBS. I didn't think the story could surprise me anymore, but I exclaimed out loud several times reading this.

A perfectly sane and normal thing to say

Oh sure, but I say *one thing* about Indian food

LMAO -- Trump gestures to one of the African leaders to wrap it up and then says, "maybe we're gonna have to go a bit quicker than this, because we have a whole schedule. If I could just have your name and country it would be great."

Wolf 2405, born in Colorado under the voter-approved reintroduction, was killed in May. Now, ranchers want the entire Copper Creek Pack removed.

No decisions were made during Monday’s CPW Commission meeting, but the pressure to escalate lethal action continues.

We just sued the Trump administration for waiving dozens of environmental laws to speed border wall construction through the San Rafael Valley in Arizona’s Sky Island region.

JD Vance is suggesting that neo-Nazis and the descendents of confederate soldiers have more claim to being part of this nation because they're white than immigrants who believe in the Declaration of Independence.

This kind of blood and soil nationalism is indistinguishable from classic fascism.

Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review.

Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

Scientists Reveal How A Remote Coral Island Has Been Invaded By Microplastics "Our findings are deeply concerning."

While studying a remote, coral-covered island in the Mediterranean, scientists were shocked to discover that it has become riddled with some of the highest levels of microplastic pollution ever recorded in the region. 🧪

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump. It's uncanny.

Remember how the Declaration of Independence cataloged all the harms King George III had visited upon the American colonists?

Trump has committed many of those same violations in just a few months. @davidcorn.bsky.social & @timothypmurphy.bsky.social lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

That is not normal, at all

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
