CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Here's my new post on how CIS, the federal agency, has ousted the League of Women Voters and other nonprofit civic groups from their longstanding role in offering voter registration to new Americans at naturalization ceremonies.
CIS kicks voter registration groups out of naturalization ceremonies
For decades, the League of Women Voters and similar civic groups have welcomed new citizens with a voter registration table. No longer.

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts.
Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

After H.R. 1319 passed out of committee after they said Congress was done for the summer, I got suspicious. What else did they try to jam through? Turns out there were five bills that day. Four of them? Pro-corporate deregulation.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think.
The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

This is 100% a Make the Confederacy Great Again EO. It's all abt resurrecting the statues of the generals who committed treason to join the Confederacy. I almost admire the word play audacity in the service of evil in their use of the phrase "false reconstruction" to describe their goal.

Wow.
Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
