Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

If you think you can rely on elected Democrats alone and you don’t need to take to the streets to say you’ve had enough with Republican recklessness, rejection of due process and tyranny, you’re not paying attention.

Not a joke, but it should be.

Trump’s shaking down Harvard like a mob boss—and @schumer.senate.gov thinks a “very strong letter” is gonna cut it.

This is exhausting!

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

💡 Clean energy imports = more local jobs, not fewer.

Most solar jobs aren’t in manufacturing — they’re in installation, deployment & maintenance.

Clean energy tech is good for climate & boosts domestic jobs.

PSA from @johncusack.bsky.social: Democracy is under attack — and paywalls shouldn’t stand in the way of accessing vital public records.

News outlets, it’s time to drop the paywalls for FOIA-based reporting.

@wired.com did it. @404media.co did it.

Now, it’s your turn.

What The Sound Of You Revving A Honda CRV Engine Means (And Why It Makes My Panties Drop): A Thread

1. You own cargo pants with a purpose

2. You take multivitamins

3. You floss

4. You make eye contact across the dog park while holding a compostable poop bag

Folks need to pause and put themselves in García’s shoes.

He fled El Salvador at 16—running from gangs, scared for his life. He didn’t risk it all just to join one of the most notorious gangs here.

Bukele cracked down—but as one local said: “We used to fear the gangs—now we fear the government.”

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Tariff negotiation.
Below: The Video is a remark from Japan’s opposition lawmaker Shinji Oguma.

Trump attended the meeting. He thought Japan was a cakewalk, so it would fold and set an example for other allies.

He didn’t get his way.
