Reporter: Are you still planning to phase out FEMA? Trump: FEMA is something we can talk about later

who could have foreseen that cutting disaster preparedness was a bad idea?

It makes me nauseous to see other journalists cozy up to, legitimize, and do the work of fascists. The harm this causes to the public we are supposed to serve is the biggest problem, but it’s also incredibly short-sighted. You are helping your new friends and allies to destroy you personally

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.

When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

Well...here we are.

A Sunday Boston Globe cover titled “‘I Feel That Nowhere Is Safe’” about ICE.

Print still hits.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

National Weather Service (NWS) is housed within the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at the Dept of Commerce. DOGE invaded NOAA earlier this year & hundreds of forecasters were reportedly fired; another 1,000 reportedly took buyout offers. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

Governor Andy Beshear: "If this big ugly bill passes, American children and American seniors are going to go hungry. They're going to have that pain in their stomachs and throughout their body when they're trying to go to bed or when they're waking up in the morning."

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Hi JD

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

10 years ago, the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges legalized same-sex marriage throughout the country.

On #EqualityDay I’m proud to celebrate that marriage equality remains the law of the land, but our work to defend & expand the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans is far from over.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Murder rates could his record lows this year, but killings by police are rising Especially in red states.

Murder rates in almost all US cities have fallen massively, but in red states, the rate of murder by police is going up: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

ICE Limiting Lawmaker Access to Facilities Amid Allegations of ‘Inhumane’ Conditions Read more here.

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Mamdani knocking off Cuomo is the headline that will get me through another day or two of hideous venality and miscalculation in American governance at home and abroad.
We can have nice things. It's still possible.

No, they don’t.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
