I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death.

Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Flipping back and forth between CNN and MSNBC wondering if they're showing any part of the House fight over the biggest bill in recent history and, no, they're reporting on Puff Daddy's trial and something about hot dogs, so

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

New in PN: Abrego Garcia is a fake gangster. Trump & Bukele are not.

"Bukele not only associates with gangsters, but owes his position to them. And if he's falling all over himself to show deference to Trump, that’s pretty good evidence the man in the WH is a gangster, too. Maybe even the kingpin."
Abrego Garcia is a fake gangster. Trump and Bukele are not.
Trump's filthy deal with El Salvador is an indictment of him, not the deportees.

NEW: A federal court has blocked President Trump's attempt to shut down the border and undermine the right to seek asylum.

Trump's claims of "invasion" can't be used as justification to deny asylum protections expressly granted by Congress.

SCOTUS told district court judges to issue national injunctions by certifying litigants as a class. Judge Moss—of the most admired federal district court—just did as SCOTUS said. The WH called the ruling "an attack on our national sovereignty."

SCOTUS, maybe accept that this WH is *out of control*?

Every once in a while I suddenly remember that just two men, Louis XIV and Louis XV, ruled France for *130 straight years*

Really underscores that if ever a nation lets a king take power there's really no guarantee that they and theirs won't reign through the lives of your great-great-grandchildren

At some point everybody’s gonna realize it’s all Stephen Miller
Extremely dark that the entire U.S. government is lying down to be steamrolled by something called the Trump agenda for fear of some force called "Donald Trump" while the actual Donald Trump has no idea what's happening
Helluva @notusreports.bsky.social scoop showing that Trump has no idea what's in his budget bill. Seems like something that ought to get a lot more attention.

Also this: a republican house member actually admits that they are attacking medicaid. Yes, they are.

Murkowski got an exemption

The cuts to Medicaid &

apply to them?
But the rest of the states

WTF?
Federal law should be

“The past still whispers, if you know how to listen.”
Take a mini mental break from the current madness, and listen to “Echoes of the Unknown”.
My podcast today revisits the baffling disappearance of five children in Fayetteville, WV on Christmas Eve 1945. A festive holiday evening for the Sodder family was transformed into an inexplicable tragedy that became one of the most discussed unsolved cases in American history.

Truly haunting. 🔎💔
