A new IWPR report confirms that college-educated Black women are more likely to lead in government than in companies. Which is why the DOGE cuts that slashed federal jobs have been particularly devastating for college-educated Black women. #blacksky

It's been such a long few years, I'd forgotten this particular rape accusation against Hegseth. The woman told police she may have been drugged. Hegseth, who was married to one woman and had just had a baby with another, said it was consensual but paid her $50k to settle. He was confirmed anyway.

If Trump’s approach to self-soothing involves lying about crowd sizes, so be it. But when he declares publicly that journalists “should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country,” I find it tough to shrug and look away. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump says some journalists ‘should be arrested,’ escalating attack on free press
If the president wants to lie about crowd sizes, that’s pitiful. But when he talks about arresting reporters without cause, don’t look away.

An underappreciated part of the two abortion pill cases filed last week: they target not just mifepristone, but also *misoprostol.* That's the second drug in a typical regimen, but it's effective on its own. Louisiana says the cases would prevent mailing "back-up drugs" @autonomynews.co

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

Just to be clear, this isn't much different from what he wrote in Dobbs. To which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan aptly responded: "This is to ignore as judges what we know as men and women. The interests women have in Roe and Casey are perfectly, viscerally concrete." [2]

Rahm Emanuel represents the last vestiges of dying, corporate do-nothing foolishness. He’s not a Democrat. He’s a wealthy, status quo strongly-worded letter in a suit. Anyone who listens to him is digging their own political grave.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.
The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.
