In case facts still matter

The American people are screaming at Congress to do something about a technology that they’re hearing may kill their jobs, upend their lives, or even wipe out humanity—but House Republican leadership has their ears plugged. We should stay in DC until we pass real AI safety.

So after canceling several weeks of work bc Epstein!! and losing a WPR vote, Mike Johnson just canceled tomorrow's vote: Is that to prevent a vote on Massie's Hegseth impeachment resolution?

Funny isn’t it? Republicans want to regulate women and trans people but *not* an unknown technology that insiders are asking for regulation. FOLLOW.THE.MONEY.

The still untold story was always about hooking up protected secure federal databases to the surveillance state.

They stole our data. We still have no idea who has it. They stole our government functions- public health, weather, education, disaster recovery, feeding the hungry. They are theives.

Not to mention the excessive data mining

leave in 2025, with about $6.7 billion tied to the DOGE-era deferred resignation program. Call it “efficiency” if you want. The only result was fewer federal employees and a federal workforce dramatically reshaped by a corrupt administration.

U.S. GAO - Federal Workforce: Deferred Resignation Program Largely Responsible for Sixfold Increase in Paid Administrative Leave Salary Costs

Federal agencies can use paid administrative leave (excused absence with pay) for workforce flexibility. Agencies spent $9.5 billion on salary costs...

@stevescully.bsky.social Tim Scott is an utter and complete Tool. His bellowing last night was propaganda being bellowed to the herd. Hope they enjoy the unemployment, polluted air, water, food being left behind. The Erin Brockovich era does not need a repeat.

I don't want to be the "can you imagine how the media would have reacted if Biden said something so obviously false" guy but CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE REACTED IF BIDEN SAID SOMETHING SO OBVIOUSLY FALSE

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

There’s low. There’s despicable. And then there’s the worst of the worst. There’s the guy who lies about 9/11 to make himself look good.

This is all revisionism and lies. (Just like the lie that he went to the site to help. He did not.) Donald Trump's *real* reaction to the destruction of the World Trade Center towers was to go on TV and brag that he now owned the tallest building in downtown. Yes, he is that crass.

Damn Republicans are destroying our nation, our democracy, our standing in the world and even determined to re-write our history in their white supremesist efforts.

@stevescully.bsky.social I guess Ted Cruz misses the point that it’s not the “hate” of Trump. It’s the results of MAGA/Proj2025 Policies that have left us divided, broke, unemployed, unable to buy/switch homes, unable to afford Insurance, Healthcare, destruction of our trust, institutional knowledge

Trump has found so many ways to use the presidency to enrich himself and his family that we had to narrow the list down. Here are 75 of the most staggering examples of Trump corruption in 2026. And yes, there were more. Read Ron Filipkowski’s full breakdown:

Trump continues to disperse disaster recovery funds based on how states vote, which for any other president or public official, in any other time, in any other country, in any other context would be a morally horrific scandal that would dominate headlines for months.

Sweet! They include a photo from Lev Parnas. Remember that Betancourt was paying Rudy a lot of money while Lev and Rudy were asking Russian assets for dirt on Hunter and Joe Biden.

Trump demolished the White House East Wing and built 65% of a $400 million ballroom without congressional approval. Then he told SCOTUS that stopping it would be dangerous. Roberts let him keep building. Create the crisis. Demand the reward. Call it presidential power.

Hunter Biden has officially run out of f*cks to give and I LOVE IT! 🔥#SheShed

No one in Congress should be trading stocks. It’s that simple.

Hey you guys. I'm starting to think that maybe voting republican isn't such a great idea.

DOJ really doesn't want anyone to see the information about how and why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to her new cushy situation. They finally responded to a FOIA and redacted everything that mattered about how the decision was made or about her situation there. www.rawstory.com/maxwell-2677...
