Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.

I hope Michiganders elect Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate. He would be good for Michigan and good for the United States. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/senator-abdul-el-sayed

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

This is what the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool looks like today after a $17M deliberate fuck up and the orange felon won’t stop until he destroys everything. Makes me sick to my stomach every day.

Florida Trump Voter: "I should've voted differently. I feel hoodwinked." Q: "Why?" FL Trump voter: "Broken promises…[I expected] a good economy and no more wars. Simple."

A Mariachi band played the National Anthem at MNF tonight ! It was beautiful and I loved their rendition. F^*k MAGA & gutless Republican sh!t f^*ks if they didn’t like it. This is what America is all about & if you don’t like it republican f^*k faces…

Da felon says he’s in no hurry to lower gas prices or end his war with Iran because he doesn’t care about average Americans. Da felon is truly the dumbest man in America & only imbeciles dumber than him will vote for more of his way of screwing America. Vote against all cowardly republicans!

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Katie Phang breaks down one of the most disturbing pieces of evidence in the new Cornell sex assault lawsuit: an alleged fraternity Snapchat message referring to the plaintiff as “free p***y upstairs.” Phang zeroes in on another detail: someone apparently photographed the Snapchat from another phone

When authoritarians get backed into a corner, they lash out and resort to fear-mongering. This is why Trump is running ominous taxpayer funded ads. But we’re going to organize our friends and neighbors, turn out to vote in November, and deliver a resounding blue wave. Spread the word.

Wait, was rolling out the red carpet for Xi a Chinese psyop too? I'm really confused about the GOP stance on China.

Mike Johnson says opposition to data centers "is a Chinese psyop. I really believe that. That's not a conspiracy theory."

Only MAGA imbeciles will fall for the caravan of immigrants coming from Central America because da felon has been saying that absolutely no one will be crossing the US southern border. Plus, if anyone is coming, why would they when ICE will deport them to another country that’s not their original.

Corporations spend more than $1.5B a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5B they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions. Kudos to these Autozone workers.

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 4d ago

HUGE: Autozone workers just won the first ever union at the company. Despite Autozone spending an estimated $210,696 and using every tactic in the book to stop just 11 workers from forming a union, the small shop in New York chose to unionize today. These workers will now join the @uaw.org.

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt. Everyone has an opinion about why. But there’s one question you almost never hear asked: Who’s actually getting paid?

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is planning to turn an outdated skyscraper building in the city into 4,000 units of affordable housing. Instead of creating destructive data centers that destroy lives as well as the ecosystem for dark profit, this leader chooses to help people instead. More of this please.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
