Companies linked with Trump's two eldest sons have received over $6 billion in government contracts. Some are established companies that invited the sons to join their Boards, but more are new start-ups with zero experience that are *magically* receiving massive contracts. Corruption gone wild.

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov what are we going to do about this? This is treason, whether he meant it as a “joke” does not matter. You may jokingly yell “fire” in a crowded theatre but it’s still a dangerous act that you must be held accountable for.

The President of the United States just said he is okay with a foreign nation killing tens of millions of Americans. So when do we declare the last straw? When does Congress (controlled by Republicans, if you haven’t noticed) act? Never. VOTE BLUE. And then push like hell for prosecution.

This tells you everything about how Trump sees this country. The destruction, the fear and the innocent people who would pay the actual price are just collateral damage to him.

It was funny but I hate how he just backhand pushed the kid back. He could have picked them up or acknowledged them in some way. Said excuse me and walked them out of the room. If it had been a woman academic doing the analysis she would have been roasted alive for doing the exact same thing he did.

A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE IN QUESTION AT THIS POINT And we definitely need more reporting on this issue: HEAT Data centers devour electricity and water, dump heat into communities, and Big Tech is building them faster than lawmakers are dealing with the consequences.

The 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would be difficult for future administrations to end. So not just no to the NDAA, but fuck no. It would allow them to bypass traditional yearly funding debates, as well as integrate U.S. supply chains with Israeli military priorities.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.
