Kash Patel must have forgotten to tell the American people this part yesterday. Must have slipped his mind.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

If you want Pete Hegseth to be able to kill anybody he wants anytime he wants while serving up “trust me bro” as justification with zero oversight from Congress, who gives the Trump admin a blank check to do whatever it wants, then vote for the cowardly Republican enablers.

16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial.

I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs — with his family.

BREAKING: A federal judge has thrown out the criminal indictment of James Comey, ruling that Trump-installed prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and had no lawful authority to bring the case. The court found her actions violated federal law and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

Can someone explain why, globally, countries are closing borders on "illegal" immigrants while simultaneously not denouncing the military exercises and force being used in the countries from which these immigrants are being forced out? These asylum seekers left bc their homes were no longer safe...

I notice Karoline Leavitt didn't wear her 2-lb. golden cross, because she knew she had to tell some particularly grievous lies today ...
As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

She did not respond.

If the Epstein Files were a liberal hoax wouldn’t a man who has filed 100’s of lawsuits over the last 10 yrs be suing? Someone ask Karoline Leavitt that- I love seeing a MAGA girl squirm without moving her eyebrows

Hey @marcelias.bsky.social @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social is there anything legally preventing city and state governments from passing laws that ban federal agents/federal law enforcement / ICE / National guard from being on premises at election polling sites?

Seems reasonable.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: Trump sending DOJ poll monitors "is a preview of 2026. But here's what we've done... We raised a little more money to make sure we have a legal defense team, a rapid response team, that we're monitoring the monitors."
