I feel like we have lowered the bar too far with regards to "breaking her silence." If no one is asking for the details, your silence doesn't mean much.

Exodus at DOJ civil rights division as official says 'over 100' attorneys departed The Justice Department's division tasked with enforcing the nation's federal civil rights laws has recently seen a mass exodus of "over 100" attorneys.

"And en masse, dozens and now over 100 attorneys decided that they'd rather not do what their job requires them to do."

Because what you want them to do is repugnant and probably illegal.

Party vice-chair David Hogg wants to unseat some fellow Democrats by funding primary challengers Hogg says he wants to fund primary challenges against Democratic lawmakers who he feels are "out of touch" and not fighting President Trump hard enough.

Great. Let's get some groundbreaking candidates for the Dems to take back the legislature.

Katy Perry's trip to space criticized as more out of touch than out of this world Katy Perry embarked on a space tourism trip Monday, courtesy of Jeff Bezos' company. It's the latest PR misstep for the singer.

Doesn't scream relevance. Shame on Bezos for sending his bimbo out there too

Perhaps it's sad but I feel my best option for getting ahead now is to be really nice to ChatGPT, etc. with hopes it remembers me when The Algorithm seizes power.

Trump calls for deporting some citizens to El Salvador, testing US law President Donald Trump said on Monday he wants to deport some violent criminals who are U.S. citizens to Salvadoran prisons, a move that experts said would violate U.S. law.

He wants to deny citizens their Constitutional rights and imprison them overseas. This is shocking. Absolutely flies in the face of civil rights. GOP and the his voters are to blame.

Younger Democrats Don’t Plan to Wait Their Turn A new crop of Democrats are announcing runs for office β€” sometimes against incumbents β€” in an expression of frustration with the establishment.

Wrote about a trio of young Democrats -- @katmabu.bsky.social , @georgehornedo.bsky.social and Deja Foxx -- and how their bids for office signify rising frustration among young voters with the status quo.

Americans Give Early Trump Foreign Policy Actions Mixed or Negative Reviews More disapprove than approve of leaving the WHO and ending USAID. About half see tariffs on China as bad for the U.S. and them personally, but views differ by party.

Some great data from Pew. Americans seem concerned about Trump's stance on a fair few things.

Humanity can do SO much that seems like magic when we work together. Some of it might seem boring, like feeding the hungry or preventing MANY illnesses, but we can absolutely do that too. We can do it all together.

U.S. to End Vaccine Funds for Poor Countries A 281-page spreadsheet obtained by The Times lists the Trump administration’s plans for thousands of foreign aid programs.

As an American, this is yet another shame piled one us. We are able to prevent untold human suffering with such an inexpensive act when we have so much. This is horrific and I am ashamed.

I have got to curb my daytime disassociation. A coworker interrupted me in the communal kitchen with a cheery hello and I responded with "Sup bitch?" without a hint of malice, but still dripping in "Let's check out the HR manual this afternoon."

14 and 15 year olds would be allowed to work overnights as long as they are homeschooled, which is largely untracked. A new tier of poverty has been created.

Hegseth faces renewed scrutiny after Signal chat disclosures The Signal chat imbroglio is an uncomfortable episode for Trump’s defense secretary, who has vowed to hold senior military leaders accountable for mistakes.

I mean, in all fairness, you haven't seen how he's using Grindr. Waiting on the headline, "Diplomacy or DMs? Pete Hegseth’s Unclassified Grindr Strategy."

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Her confusion was palpable. She didn't know that to say. Just looked around and then at me, pursing and un-pursing her lips. It's like she was frantically flipping through a phone book but not understanding why she wasn't finding any recipes for a gluten-free weather forecast.
