A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Wyden released a sweeping Senate report alleging several of the largest banks of having “been willing to turn a blind eye” to Epstein’s financial activity.

NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society. And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.
This is unacceptable!!! Abolish ICE Fascists have no place here.
Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · 9h agoFolks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.
Abolish DHS. Break up Bush-2’s histrionic spy state response to 9/11, disband ICE and retool the entire security system. We did it before we can do it again. Protecting Americans’ Civil Rights must be equal to national security.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoEl-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

"It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone," writes @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. "The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties."

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
Awww….That idiot (aka Putain de Merde) in the White House missed the legal deadline for screwing up birthright citizenship. I liked the cartoon. I don’t care who boots him out of our country.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
It’s now or after millions of us have died putting down the white Christian nationalist reich, I choose now.
@kristinekenyon.bsky.social · 4w agoBasically we have to pull a Hungary-level wipeout: win so big they can’t steal the election.
