Corporate media is worthless! They do not have the public best interests in mind.... They are owned & operated by right wing oligarchs who very well could be in those files that they don't want to talk about!

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Seriously, did anyone really expect this regime to actually follow the law when it comes releasing the Epstein files? They have never followed the law with zero consequences so I have said all along that they will release one sided information & massive redactions! #inners #lastword

This should be interesting! 🍿🍿🍿
This is how you do it.

Trump’s spiteful defamation suit against the Pulitzer Prize Board may backfire, as the latter is now demanding Trump’s psychological records, prescription medication records, and tax returns in the discovery process.

Donald Trump isn’t going to be happy about this one.

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally.

Just like it’s still the department of defense

This man is totally mentally disturbed. Take housing allowance money from military and give it back as a “bonus”. WTF IS WRONG WITH TRUMP AND HIS CRONIES?

We did it! We got enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Imagine how furious Mike Johnson is going to be when we pass this!

Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

I can't in my soul believe for a minute that our elected officials are unable to stop this fascist regime! I think it is their choice & I am not only referring to the repubs! This is disgusting as we watch our communities suffer under this outlandish level of racism & sanctioned violence. #maddow

That is like arguing that a murder charge is moot because the victims is already dead...
In its response to a federal lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (seeking to halt construction of Trump’s planned new ballroom) the DOJ argued that objections to the demolition of the East Wing are “moot because the demolition has already occurred and cannot be undone.”

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time.

It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

These stories get more inhumane each & every day!
Where are our elected officials that were voted into office to protect us? They could stop this if they really wanted to, but I am convinced that the repubs are enjoying the cruelty of it all!
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

More details below.

One of my favorite news program is @frontlinepbs.bsky.social on PBS. They ran this documentary earlier this week & is very compelling as it follows a family as they try to navigate the immigration system under this regime!

So ICE turns off the cell phone towers as they begin their sweeps into a given area? That seems to show total disregard for all the citizens in the area that may need emergency assistance! That is why they use the whistles. #maddow

ICE didn't necessarily go someplace warmer.... They came to Minnesota (where it is freaking cold) & are causing damage & pain here with our immigrant population! #maddow
