I’m pretty damn sure if Lloyd Austin had a Chinese email address, the media would mention it.

Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo: It's critical for people to remember what an Executive Order is. It's the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies, actions, etc. They're not laws. They're formalized memos to employees. That's all.

This is absolutely terrifying. Rumeysa’s lawyer still doesn’t know where she is. We need accountability now and we need to get ICE out of our communities. #mapoli
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

Let’s be honest here.This nation is in chaos b/c the egos of men,especially white men, weren’t pumped up enough under BidenHarris. They weren’t the center of attention. As the country worked for equity& inclusion the*boys* said not so fast. Now they’re playing war games on their phones

"Men" for Trump - following and being exposed as embittered, entitled, immature toddlers to the world.
Trump voters did you get what you voted for? Did you vote for all the bad shit to happen? Do you hate yourself and America that much? Or maybe you’re just that goddamn gullible.

We need the lawyers to continue fighting in the courts, and they are. They are doing great BUT ....

We have a track-record with handling dangerous materials so they pose no threat to anyone, any living thing, or any place on earth. /s
How long does it take for nuclear waste to be safe? The same time it took the earth to come about. So how safe is it to just bury it and hope that he humans of the future will handle it?

Nuclear waste remains dangerous for 4.5 billion years. So what do we do with it?
A series of massive underground tunnels for nuclear waste are under construction across Europe and the UK, but how we will warn future generations of their dangers is still up in the air.

I know I talk about Diane Seltzer every day, but this is the perfect explanation as to why we need her as the president of the DC Bar Association. Pam Bondis brother is running against her. There's no way he'll hold her accountable.

Amazon Warehouse injuries are twice the industry average and employees have exposed poor working conditions. And yet...
"After contributing almost $30M to the President and cutting sweetheart deals to the First Lady," a former Amazon Executive, David Keeling, was chosen by Trump to lead OSHA.

Pay attention: Look at the injuries on Amazon warehouse floors — look at Amazon’s contributions to the president — and then look who has been nominated to head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Trump's tariffs will raise the cost of building a single-family home in the U.S. by $7,500 - $10,000.
Just one way these tariffs are going to be paid by Americans. San Diego’s housing prices are already way too high, and this will only make them worse.

Our government sent Venezuelans to a PRISON in El Salvador. Without any proof of their “crimes”. And we paid El Salvador OUR MONEY to do so.
These people are evil. @democrats.org STOP COOPERATING with the Trump/Musk regime in any way.
If you can’t do that, step aside.

It would be a damn shame if people showed up to let him know how they feel about his capitulation on the short-term spending bill passed by the Senate Friday afternoon.
