Gutfeld: “We need to learn from the blacks. The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word word by using it. So from now on it’s: What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what's hanging, my Nazi?”

Gutfeld: “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”

1 in 4 nursing homes will shut down. Who will take care of all those people? Are you ready to do 24/7 home heath care for your aging parents and grandparents? This is what the Republicans are putting on us.
If Trump’s Big Ugly Bill passes, 1 in 4 nursing homes will shut down.
That’s thousands of vulnerable seniors displaced—no care, no beds, nowhere to go.
All so the rich get richer.
This isn’t budgeting—it’s abandonment. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Wow. Way to recall some old timey racist propaganda
This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in.
(I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

There are some extremely brave FOIA officers in the federal government - and this is a reminder that they often want to get the information out as badly as the public wants to read it.
In response to @freedom.press FOIA request, ODNI declassified & released an intel memo contradicting a key claim Trump made to invoke the Alien Enemies Act
Confirms reporting the Trump admin characterized as false & used to justify weakening limits on leak inquiries

Read Maja Lunde’s The History of Bees.
Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says
Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.
