Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

NEW: Another 91 starving people executed whilst queueing at aid stations in Gaza.

80 years ago, they were offered showers and gassed. Today, they are offered food and shot.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a fiscal disaster that fails to deliver for working-class families in NJ and across the country.

With the Executive Order I signed today, we are mobilizing to mitigate harm to New Jerseyans and planning to navigate new red tape from Washington.

25 dead so far across Texas from flooding. Local authorities are blaming poor forecasting.

It’s all so tragically predictable and criminally negligent.
NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA.

Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.

Services are already shutting down.

The most dangerous regime in the world for US citizens is now their own.
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

NEW: The authoritarian crackdown begins in LA.

This is dystopian. As the dictator’s parade is broadcast in the top right corner, MSNBC’s reporter and peaceful protestors are charged by police as tear gas is fired.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

A Trump exec order bans almost 300 words from being used by federal agencies, the military and any org that receives federal funds. These kinds of "editorial" decisions were popular in Germany in the early 30s.

Also the notion that citizens speak up for reasons related to their humanity and morality and not money seems unfathomable to these folks.
Trump says that any American who shows “dissension” against MAGA should be “immediately ejected” from their member of Congress’ town halls.

This is fascism.
