And I'm sure that new employer had no qualms whatsoever about hiring the guy just to get that illegally-obtained data. None.

A whistleblower alleges that a former DOGE employee sought help transferring a set of sensitive Social Security data from a thumb drive to a personal computer so he could “sanitize” it before uploading it for use at a private-sector company.

A modest proposal. One provision Dems should insist on in negotiating the DHS budget is to terminate what’s left of this contract that went to DHS friends and family, and require an audit and return of any unused funds. I think it would be a very good move.
16. He’s creating conditions in which he can disqualify Trump as a trusted negotiator. After all, if he can’t broker peace with Iran, he can’t broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. And if the president objects, Putin can bog him down some more.

15. Sure, he does. Putin wants to help himself to Ukraine and perhaps more of Europe. By helping Iran bog down Trump in the quagmire of another forever war, Putin is not only filling his war chest with oil money.
10. The Russians are not only helping the Iranians kill Americans, but they are also helping reduce the supply of oil, which raises the price of oil, which pressures Trump to ease oil sanctions, which enriches the Russians, which rewards them for helping Iran kill Americans.
Right?

First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.
• The vehicle is registered to a man in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, who was originally from Lebanon, law enforcement sources told CNN. Authorities are investigating reports that the man told people that he had family members who were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon in recent days, those officials said.
It is horrific what happened to this man’s family. But some Jewish American children worshipping at a synagogue in Michigan are not fucking responsible. This is another case of blaming all Jews for the actions of Israel. This is why we constantly beg you not to do that.

Isn’t that the guy who’s running an add saying “Paperwork doesn’t make an American?”
“The attacks on Talarico highlight just how far down that road we now are.”
“It gets at the core of the ever-stronger fusion between extremist right-wing Christianity and the Republican Party, an renewed institutionalization of white nationalism and male supremacy as the doctrine of an entire party, and given a theocratic bent.”

Hamilton HotelWashington, DC Wednesday, Jun 3 from 10 am to 6 pm Overview WelcomeFest - the largest public gathering of centrists. WelcomeFest showcases the array of leaders and organizations cultivating a partisan centrist vision on the left. At WelcomeFest, a community of like-minded elected officials, media figures, journalists, and thought leaders gather to mediate a new path forward for our party – providing a platform for connection, conversation, and action. WelcomeFest is an opportunity for us all to take lessons from candidates who overperform to craft a strong, robust, and vibrant centrist faction.
Imagine your whole ideology being we have no ideology. We stand for nothing - or at least nothing we will admit.
Now imagine that under fascism.
I’m so old I remember when Reagan proudly said that what distinguished America was that anyone could become equally an American, regardless of where they had been born.

Take It Home, Rebecca Solnit New York Times journalist David Marchese interviewed writer and activist Rebecca Solnit, who has a new book out, “The Beginning Comes After the End; Notes on a World of Change”, which Kirkus describes as “A convincing vision of a brighter future.” Here’s the key excerpt, where Marchese asks a question that is either profoundly stupid or a softball, I’m not really sure which: Marchese: I would like to hear your perspective on whether any of the strategies or tactics against Trump and Trumpism have maybe been counterproductive? Because I wonder if, you know, calling him and the movement “fascist, sexist, racist,” has, sort of, alienated people who, might otherwise be brought into the progressive fold. So do you think there have been any sort of missteps over the last 10 years? Solnit: That’s the least of our problems. They are racist. They are authoritarian, they are misogynist. They are homophobic. And tiptoeing around it protects them and not the targets of the hatred and discrimination. I just get so tired of the idea that progressives have gone too far in asserting that, like, every human being deserves human rights, when people are being shot in the streets of Minneapolis. We are facing such horrific brutality that politeness is not really the problem to start with. I think we got into this situation, in part, by a lot of people in the mainstream thinking it was more important to be nice and polite than call things by their true names. This is really extreme stuff. If we need to use extreme language to describe it, let’s be truthful, let’s be accurate and let’s be bold. And there’s a wonderful historian, scholar of nonviolence named George Lakey, who says polarization is good. That’s when you have clarity. Sometimes people have to pick sides. You do not get authoritarians to behave better by being meek and gentle and polite. You get it by being strong. You got me all worked up. I feel like it probably didn’t take that much.
I couldn't tell either. This is from my Heads Up News newsletter: www.headsupnews.org/p/gearing-up...
Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
See the problem here?
The segment of media that frame as normal the words and actions of the administration wonder why other Americans won't abide by that normalization.
I wish we had a government that had sometime, somewhere. learned the lessons presented in this story…

Pick it up at about the 45-minute mark. She sees clearly what is happening. A lot of Americans are. But when someone of her influence and reach get real plain-spoken about what the core underlying problem is, and *WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT* the needle moves a little more.
From minute 49 on.......................!!!!! (of course, everything before, too)
The Republicans invented the INCOME TAX and it was high....
