Troops aboard the USS Lincoln have been at sea for nearly nine months. Their families are describing severe exhaustion, rotten food, broken toilets—and the Pentagon is denouncing their cries as “fake news.”   Secretary Hegseth, how could you let this happen?

My next book (out this month) is *The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI*. I wrote it because I was frustrated by people demanding that I talk about AI, and then handing me 800 words or 13 minutes to address 50 nebulous, poorly supported claims about AI: us.macmillan.com/books/978037... 31/

Next week, Republicans are expected to begin the budget reconciliation process — this is how the GOP will try to shovel $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol (and give Trump $1 billion for a ballroom). Your Members of Congress need to hear from you, and we’ve made it extra easy to get in touch.

Today, for the seventh time, Senate Republicans voted against a War Powers Resolution that would end Trump's illegal war. A war that has already cost $29 billion and driven up the cost of gas to $4.50 a gallon. Once again, Republicans chose Trump over the American people.

The president demands election results be thrown out so Republicans win more seats
We cannot allow there to be an Election that is conducted unconstitutionally simply for the “convenience” of State Legislatures. If they have to vote twice, so be it. We should demand that State Legislatures do what the Supreme Court says must be done. That is more important than administrative convenience. The byproduct is that the Republicans will receive more than 20 House Seats in the upcoming Midterms! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Louisiana v Callais decision gutted the Voting Rights Act, clearing the way for minority rule. The minority in question, BTW, fully supports sending paramilitaries into cities to terrorize and kill US citizens while refusing to exert their congressional power to end an illegal war in Iran.

Remember $2.98 a gallon for gas? That was BEFORE Trump started a war with Iran. Now you’re paying at least $4.05 for the privilege of driving to work. He didn’t just break his promise — he broke your budget. This is what reckless leadership costs. #TrumpsGasCrisis #USDemocracy #Pinks

Politicians are already rushing to redraw district maps to unfairly strip away political power from Black voters after the Supreme Court disgracefully green lit discriminatory maps yesterday. Black voters should be respected, not attacked.

The SAVE America Act is voter disenfranchisement. Full stop. No one should ever have to show their passport to vote. No one should have to show their birth certificate to vote. No one should have to show up to the polls and realize their registration was purged because "reasons." Call your senators.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

It's really hard to understand why MAGA is more upset with the selection of Bad Bunny for the halftime show than the shooting of innocent Americans on the streets of Minneapolis.
