No only CBS news, also their major advertisers. No leniency. If the advertisers are not publicly dropping CBS first thing Monday morning, they are on the boycott list. And it starts with @bankofamerica.bsky.social

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

Make Politics Boring Again. 💯
The main thing I have had hammered home by the past ten years in politics is that we really need pretty much every government office to be run by boring and anonymous nerds who you will never once hear about in the news

This photo of @kim.senate.gov clearing trash in the Capitol rotunda after the Jan. 6 attack was, for many, the first 'introduction' to the senator from New Jersey. How fortunate we are to have elected officials like Andy Kim, who continue to protect our country and Constitution

Across America, people are posting that this message by Donald Trump is one of the most contemptible and grotesque ever made by a public figure.
And I am telling you that it is significantly worse than you think it is.
This was a preemptive justification for what Trump presumed was a MAGA murder.

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.

The “party of freedom” has a long list of scary words they don’t want people to use. 🤦♀️
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Trump admits he took another cognitive test.
They don’t just give those out for funsies.
He also says the NYT reporting on his heath is sedition and perhaps treason.
Whatever news he got must be awful.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.
