This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo: ‘A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century’ Accused of desecrating the French capital, the politician wants more bikes, green spaces and social housing

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

No matter what happens in the Paris election in 4 days, the world’s cities owe @annehidalgo.bsky.social a huge debt of gratitude.

The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen.

Mark Romano isn’t holding back and neither is the chaos.

The Middle East is spiraling. A convicted criminal with no plan, no strategy, no clue.

This is on Trump. Full stop. 🔥

Recent public reporting indicates that ICE is holding immigrants at secret detention facilities across Colorado. Today, I attempted to conduct oversight at one of the locations in Garfield County.

I’m sure Trump anticipated all this and has a great plan because he’s a master strategist.

Can someone explain to me how buying lobster and crab on the taxpayer dime is not exponentially worse than buying soda with your SNAP benefits?

And I'm still seeing polls that 40% of the people support the war in Iran.

We are so fucked.

Can the Courts Protect the Ballot? The decisions judges make during the coming months in various active legal cases will affect who can vote, which districts they vote in, and what political advertising they see—among many other factors. What’s at stake is not just the outcomes of this year’s elections but also the future integrity of democracy in the US. Voting rights attorney Marc Elias joins host Alex Lovit to discuss threats to ballot access in the United States, how lawyers are fighting back, and what the rest of us can do to help.

A very important topic right now. I hope you listen, enjoy and share!

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

And yet, not a word indicating agency in the title or subhead. It’s not “upon us”, it is a direct and obvious consequence of choices by US leadership
