For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

We need reparations for ICE victims.

Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.

The splitscreen between "I think they should use the strait" and pictures of the Mayuree Naree Bangkok burning in the strait on the same day is absurdly on point.

Trump has, at last, it seems, found a problem that lying and marketing cannot solve.

Democrats Need a Post-Trump Plan. Here’s One That Works. Holding the powerful accountable for their crimes is the only way out of this mess.

Nothing captures the moral bankruptcy of this moment quite like slashing healthcare for millions while burning $1 billion a day on a war with no plan, no endgame, and no one apparently able to explain why.

So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?

Can't wait to hear about how they just need one more $5 donation and our votes to stop Trump's agenda though

AI cameras are everywhere β€” and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

β€œIn a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

DHS Ousts CBP Privacy Officers Who Questioned β€˜Illegal’ Orders Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

β€œThe Defense Department burned through $93 billion that month alone [September 2025 was the end of the fiscal year], signing checks left and right in order to dry up its congressionally allocated budget, according to a recent analysis by the government watchdog Open the Books.”

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

Authorities say a Georgia teacher was killed in a prank gone wrong. A teen is charged with homicide Authorities say a Georgia high school teacher is dead after teenagers pulled a late night prank outside his home.

I appreciate this family’s commitment to refusing to do more damage in the name of punishment:

β€œHughes’ family said he knew and loved the five students involved and urged authorities to drop all charges against them.”

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

Zero in on Stephen Miller as a supervillain Democrats should make Trump’s unlikable adviser the face of the GOP

Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too – the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a β€œbig problem” for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms.

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

Trump is in serious trouble. His war is deeply unpopular. He's now in the toilet on the economy, immigration, and national security. His public standing is getting close to being broken in an irreparable way, akin to Bush after Iraq and Katrina:

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase β€œaccused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory β€œhasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

What do people want from their government? They want a government which works well, which provides public services effectively, in which their tax money is well spent and delegated powers are wisely exercised for the public good.

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering β€œdistractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
