Massive harm literally never stops. Epstein emails (that will have no consequences). Sneaking things into the “budget bill” - things like reduction of FDA oversight over things like salmonella. Offshore drilling destruction of marine habitats. Further restriction of women’s health choices. Help

The American federal government has fallen so low that I don’t know if I will ever again respect a president. The power-mad, frantically insecure despot has activated the National Guard without agreement of the state governor. The first time in our history since 1965.

I have seen ICE and HSI raids in full gear with their acronym emblazoned, helmets, protective gear and no face covering. Then I have seen videos and pictures and heard stories of raids with black vans, men in all black with face masks. Are those fake stories? Why the difference?

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath.
And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth.
This is why journalism matters.

Wow- in response to questioning from Sen. Jack Reed, Tulsi Gabbard just testified that she was overseas while participating in the signal chat on bombing Yemen. He followed up by asking whether she was using a personal phone for the conversation and she refused to answer. Seems bad!

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Let this sink in—the head of the EPA has now labeled climate science as “religion”, and reframed the purpose of the EPA to “lower the cost of buying a car… and running a business”—the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY!

Every day it gets more surreal. The President. Of the United States. Doing a Tesla commercial. Using marketing notes. And getting paid $100M from Elon Musk. So commonplace not one of the top three headlines today.

Someone asked if I reread. Yes. A) to slow my book-buying addiction (yes I know about library apps); B) waiting for ambien to kick in because I can’t sleep because I think my daughter hates me; C) to break my doomscrolling addiction (HE DID WHAT?) D) because books have taken the place of woobies.

DT is pushing deforestation, mining, overriding endangered or protected species. How? There’s an override: a 7-member committee led by Sec of Interior plus Sec’s of Agriculture and Army, admins of EPA, NOAA and chairman of Council of Economic Advisers. Affected states also get a fraction of a vote.

Within all the shock and awe tactics of this administration is the EO to cut our national forests. As usual this president has put the worst candidate possible in charge. Tom Schultz, previously a vice-president of Idaho Forest Group, which sells wood, will be the next Forest Service chief

Keith Self at his town hall said Medicaid will be cut but only “able bodied people that should be working”. Found how? Those with debilitating mental health disease trying to live independently? Folks with cancer treatment no longer covered after withdrawn grants. Anyone who identifies as non-white?

When I attended Keith Self’s town hall, he admitted Medicaid would be cut but only “able bodied people that should be working”. How will they will they find out who’s able bodied? The active military who can’t live on their salaries with the current inflation (they were at the town hall, asking). 1

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union.
I disagree.
They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.
It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ― Elie Wiesel
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
