Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is using his position as a powerful public official to promote Christian nationalism — attempting to tie government to evangelical Christianity. Hegseth has thus begun his “holy mission” by seizing control of the Pentagon to hold Christian prayer services —…

The Trump regime has once again been ordered to facilitate the return of a man who was wrongly “deported.” This time Judge Brian E. Murphy of the U.S. District Court in Boston ordered the return of a Guatemalan man Trump banished to Mexico in February. The man was denied due process, and…
The misdemeanor trespassing charge absurdly leveled against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has officially been dismissed. Federal magistrate judge Andre Espinosa scolded federal prosecutors for more than five minutes, calling the entire situation “embarrassing.” The politically motivated,…
Honoring and Remembering our US Military Personnel who died in service to our country. Prayers, love, and strength to all who have lost a loved one, and to those who served. #MemorialDay 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This Memorial Day remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms Trump wants to take from us. This is not a normal Memorial Day-we are at war against the dark forces of Trumpism. My new article on why we must prevail: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/this-memor...

Make America Healthy Again? If the Trump admin actually cared about our health, they wouldn’t have: • Rolled back 100+ EPA rules • Slashed toxic cleanup funds • Weakened pollution limits • Blocked pesticide bans None of this is based on science, it’s based on the whims of a conspiracy theorist.
5 years. Since Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd, US cops have killed 6,000 - 12,000+ people — “setting new records for deadly police violence nationwide” Police violence surged most *in Trump states* and states that refused to enact ‘reforms’ policedata.org www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
The administration’s “mass deportations” policy is in conflict with other priorities they claim, especially human trafficking. People suffer if our commitment lags. substack.com/home/post/p-...
For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.
Have you guys noticed that Trump still hasn’t even mentioned the storms in Kentucky that killed at least 30 people? Republicans are pretty quiet about the lack of response too. Outrage under Biden, silence now that he’s president. That’s how you know he never really cared.
Donald Trump has always been in mental decline. This is normal for him.😐
Almost forgotten in the cacophony of ghastliness that defines our current politics The war against abortion continues to rage As Louisiana redoubles its efforts to prosecute a New York doctor who provided abortion medication to someone in their state And the Trump DOJ signals it might help
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound ) DAY 24 MAY 2025 NEVER FORGET UVALDE In loving heartbreaking memory of 21 lives so tragically robbed This didn't have to happen But America How many children must die? Now they want to allow silencers on firearms Please call your Senators 202 224-3121 😢🙏
Spotted in Kansas City, Missouri: Patriot Front—a white nationalist hate group—holding its annual Memorial Day march in front of the national WWI museum and memorial. They wore masks, carried shields and flags.
While Trump is slashing Medicare, garnishing wages for student loans, and denying FEMA aid to states that voted for him… He’s also: • Charging $1M to join Mar-a-Lago • Hosting $1M-a-plate crypto dinners • Pocketing $394M from his meme coin • Turning his golf clubs into luxury pay-to-play scams

Did they return the deportees or just an empty plane? DoJ said they preferred to leave them in Djibouti and give them their 15 days of due process there. @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.
Good Morning Everyone SHOP LOCAL Beautiful morning at the Steampump Ranch Farmer's Market Even though we're in a severe drought and some vendors are scared of border crossing I am pleased to say I saw no border patrol Please SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS (ty Lizzie reminding me)
📌So an America-attacking draft-dodger, who has called our fallen "suckers and losers" gave the commencement at West Point today. 📌A serial-liar. A cheater. A punk. A convicted felon. A woman-abuser. 📌Duty, honor, country, my ass. 📌As a sailor, and the former ME of Stars & Stripes: I SPIT ON HIM.
I SPIT ON TRUMP
The repulsive America-attacker deserves nothing but scorn from the military community on this Memorial Day Weekend

Good morning and happy Saturday to all who think this kid is a treasure. Watch him obliterate this MAGA Karen with clear, irrefutable facts. Wait until she feels the pain of Trump’s tariffs. These conversations need to happen all over the country. Our youth is paying attention! 🔥🔥🔥
DOGE’s drastic cuts to foreign aid has caused new HIV infections to surge and threaten to derail plans to eradicate AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. They’ve jeopardized the rollout of a newly developed injectable that is “the closest thing to a vaccine that we have ever had in HIV response.”

Global health officials say USAID cuts upended their work, as billionaire claims he will fix any defunding ‘right now’

Governor Wes Moore lays it out - Trump is not interested in governing. He lies to stoke fear, xenophobia, and demonize Latinos and other immigrants. Then he weaponizes ICE and has Kristi Noem pose for pictures in front of people who were kidnapped & trafficked. youtube.com/shorts/PEKmo...
"They're not interested in governing, they're interested in destroying.”

Funny, but when I was a federal prosecutor, people, including folks I know to be conservative Republicans, were absolutely adamant about prosecuting pay-to-play schemes that were much less bold and audacious than this one. Those folks all seem to have gone into hiding now.
Was quite a moment, a sense we reached some kind of inflection point in U.S. history. You can now personally pay a U.S. president to gain an audience.
F*ck any airline that installs these seats. Next there will be coin operated bathrooms.
