Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

NEW: Trump’s approval among Catholics falls to a historic low.

A rising movement of Catholics, emboldened by Pope Leo, is turning against MAGA.

With over 20,000 members, we are the fastest-growing Catholic group in America.

To the MAGA purveyors of cruelty and lies — we will defeat you.
Under Pope Leo XIV, American Catholics Are Uniting to Defeat MAGA Authoritarianism
Trump’s support among U.S. Catholics has plummeted to an all-time low of 39%, a stark decline over the year. This is no accident. Under Leo XIV, we're working to defeat Trump-Vance authoritarianism.

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires.

Anyone can sign the petition — link below!
The CSU/OpenAI contract is set to expire June 30, 2026.

Sign this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/cancel-chatgpt-edu-invest-in-humans/ for the CSU NOT to renew the contract and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

What do these corporations have in common?

-Amazon
-AT&T
-Home Depot
-Microsoft
-Palantir

They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine.

Always follow the money.

As more comes out in the Epstein files, it’s again remarkable how many very rich and very powerful and very connected people place no stock in having a worthy character or cultivating anything like virtue, and instead wallow in moral wretchedness and seek to socialize with others who do the same.

It’s not doomerism to say trump, his party, and his government are trying to rig elections including the midterms; that’s just … reality

It is doomerism to act like they are likely to “cancel” the midterms or that their success in rigging it is at all a given
Hey now, I've been informed that such claims are doomerism, and that's something we shouldn't tolerate here.

Besides, everyone knows that the midterms will fix this.

"where are the protests" is a reflection of how many people's sense of reality is intermediated by billionaire owned social media and billionaire owned news media, both of which have strategically suppressed cover of the scale and frequency of 2025 protests
The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception. Over the past year, protests have been far more numerous, more geographically widespread, and more sustained than what we saw in 2017, for instance.

Very similar dynamic to now, where people in the Trump Administration keep stating publicly, “I am doing this racist thing racistly because I love racism” and the entire media is like “his motivations, what could they possibly be?!”
There’s a darkly funny chapter after Goetz turns himself in where the cops keep trying to give him an out: “You were afraid for your life, right?”

And Goetz is like, nope, I wanted to kill those teens because they are black.

The guy who did it would not shut up about how racist he was!

Again, when Bari Weiss said she wanted to do "the fucking news" she apparently meant something different than what we initially assumed
Looking at the list of 19 new CBS News commentators, the median number of times they appear in the searchable Epstein database is 2 and the mean is 100
