ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history".

Who is responsible for these climate disasters, like the devastating fires in LA? It's fossil fuel companies who lied about climate change for decades. They should be paying for the damages, as New York and Vermont will soon require. I talked about this on @democracynow.org this morning.

Not a single Republican senator has dared express any concerns about Hegseth's inexperience, allegations of sexual assault, corruption, drinking problems, misogyny or his dangerous policy positions.
They're terrified of Trump's wrath and Elon's money.
They'd confirm a bar stool if he told them to.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Don't be fooled.
