the DOJ “reviewing watergate” has the foulest stink of desperation. trying to rewrite history to rescue nixon’s name from the mud as if he’s not already a sitcom punchline. I wonder if there’s another historically corrupt executive suddenly worried about his own legacy? probably just a coincidence

Are you kidding me ‼️ Just now at the White House, Trump was asked about the Cornell rape case. He didn’t address the allegations. He attacked Letitia James, calling her “corrupt” and claiming anyone she investigates “won’t get a fair shake.” Trump’s sympathy clearly isn’t with the survivor.

Social Security Works @socialsecurityworks.org · 3h

How do we make billionaires pay their fair share into Social Security? By making them contribute at the same rate as the rest of us, all year long. Doing so would mean we could afford to protect and expand benefits through the rest of the century!

A graphic with a red filtered photo of Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dean Ball. The text says, "Working-class people pay into Social Security with every paycheck. If AI oligarchs like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Open AI’s Dean Ball, who called it “fraud,” contributed to Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, we could protect and expand benefits for decades to come!"

In the five years I reported my book, there was a palpable increase in outward expressions of misogyny among law enforcement. For example, this interaction. I think misogyny is an under-reported radicalization problem. The one thing militias, 2A groups, Claremont agree on is women are bitches.

he told me he was called to one domestic violence incident where he gave a man a cigarette to calm him down and avoid a violent encounter. In another tale, Leaf had successfully proven that a young woman’s accusation of domestic violence was untrue. The accused man avoided arrest.
“Did you arrest the woman?” I asked.
“Oh yes,” he said, “I charged her with a felony. Because she lied.”

More than 1,700 species are protected under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct — with many more awaiting protections. The Act has saved 99% of species under its care, yet Congress is once again trying to weaken this lifesaving law — this time under the guise of helping renewable energy. Take action 🔗⬇️
