Great recommendations from an incredible actor.

Top prosecutor is rejecting Trump pressure to charge New York AG A key federal prosecutor in Virginia, where James Comey was indicted, is resisting bringing charges against Letitia James.

NEW: A federal prosecutor in the EDVA has found NO probable cause to indict NYAG Leticia James despite intense pressure from the Trump administration to do so. How long before she’s fired? www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

My father was in the 1st infantry and I believe he landed in Normandy. I would love to hear his thoughts on what’s going on today, although I already know he would be disgusted and appalled.

‼️‼️

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

They’re also moving through my yard on LI. I saw two this morning. Actually, saw one but heard two.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

A bit of a palate cleanse here.

Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91 Jane Goodall Institute says ‘tireless advocate’ for natural world died in California during US speaking tour

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know.

A great soul if ever there was one

Jane Goodall on Fighting Sexism and What Chimpanzees Taught Her Jane Goodall discusses what keeps her motivated six decades into her career and how she combated sexism.

"I had to work 10 times harder than the average man just to get the same level of recognition," Jane Goodall told us in 2020. "But once I had made a name for myself, I let the data speak for me."

Explaining the G.O.P.’s Misleading Talking Point on the Looming Shutdown

Republicans know that their partisan spending bill will allow ACA tax credits to expire, which will drive up healthcare costs for hardworking families nationwide.

So, they’re lying about it.

Democrats won't stop fighting to lower health costs For The People!

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.”

Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Further proof that Donald Trump lives in an alternate universe.

While the Trump Administration uselessly funnels hundreds of millions of dollars into a deadly industry, California will continue to lead the nation with cheaper, more effective renewable energy sources.

Donald Trump’s TikTok Deal Looks Like Crony Capitalism The sale demonstrates the President’s personal brand of industrial policy—transactional, opaque, and designed to politically benefit him and his allies.

The campaign to force TikTok to sell or shutter its U.S. platform started out as an effort to counter Chinese influence and power. It’s ending up as an exercise in crony capitalism and political power-grabbing, johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Has anyone collected the vile statements congressional Republicans have made calling for the murder, assault, deportation and/or imprisonment of their colleagues?

Seems like there’s a lot of this coming straight from the GOP but the nation is more focused on ordinary liberals on social media.

Lee Zeldin is from Long Island and he is well aware how climate change is affecting our island. He’s a MAGA sell out. Do better Lee.

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

This is quite the post.

1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes

2. He admits being influenced by online chatter

He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
