These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers.

The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough.

And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Some of the money I used to spend at Amazon every month is now going to this fund. Great way to channel my no buy into even more political power.
If you have a few bucks to spare to help us make these senators pay a political price for choosing Trump/Musk over us, chip in here: secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...
It's payback time.
Let's hold Senate Republicans accountable for enabling the Trump/Musk coup.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

I wish people who want to be defeatists would start by defeating their own urge to spread their spirit of surrender. It's not helpful and it's not an accurate assessment of the present or the possibilities. Yes, we're in a hideous crisis. Yes, there's lots to do and lots of people trying to do it.

Some of the EPA science advisory boards are being fired and the websites scrubbed of names tonight. Just putting this here as it seems likely the Board of Scientific Counselors is next - it's been a wonderful honor to serve the past few years.
