Not subtle: new party line is to associate Communists with every crime, every offense. Create a sense of Communist threat to justify a rightwing crackdown. Old playbook used with coups and Fascist takeovers.

Say it louder for the people in the back.

Jared Kushner holds no government position. Yet he is our Middle East Envoy. The Saudis have paid him $100M and invested $2B in his firm. He pushed for Saudi nuclear enrichment over the objection of national security officials. Today his father-in-law made it happen. But what about my paintings…

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian The Hill Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW The Telegraph

I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned. We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt. I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars. And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence. And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it. The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen. I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

This is exactly why First Liberty’s “religious liberty” rankings are really about Christian privilege. The governor celebrates the award one day, then stokes fear about Muslims the next. Real religious freedom protects everyone equally.

Putin Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans. Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent. The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation: Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan. To name a few. An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021. Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up. The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

Hegseth can’t stand women in the military, especially those who are far more capable than he ever was, and especially those who have succeeded in the combat arms.

Bauernschmidt commanded a nuclear carrier in the Pacific during a tense standoff with China. First woman to do it. Four star admirals vouched for her this year. Hegseth pulled her anyway. No reason given, to her or anyone else. Pentagon policy requires one. There isn't one on

Communism explained to kids: - Communism fell in 1989 after proving itself a failed system completely incompatible with human happiness. - No credible person in their right mind is a communist anymore. - Falsely bringing back communism as a current existential enemy of the United States is the cynical move of an empty political party devoid of ideas. -It's the kind of thing you do when your party itself is an existential enemy of the United States.

Communism explained to kids: - Kid A cleans the garage → earns $15. - Take $11 and give it to Kid B who played video games all day. - Repeat until Kid A refuses to work. Congratulations! You’ve just raised an anti-communist.

Trump just stripped protections from millions of acres at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. Indigenous people have fought for these sacred lands for generations. The Trump administration is once again handing our sacred homelands and public lands over to billionaires and corporations. I've fought for these lands before — and won. We're not stopping now.

How about instead the list of 200,000-300,000 Americans who needlessly died from Covid bc they fell victim to a disgusting antivaccine disinformation campaign and refused Covid vaccines. It was led by the Murdoch media empire, Fox News, News Corps, Rogan podcasts, the corrupt wellness influencer industry pushing ivermectin, and of course RFK Jr and his organizations. They killed Americans. All documented in two books, my 2023 book, The Deadly Rise of Anti-science @JHUPress and #ScienceUnderSiege our 2025 book with @MichaelEMann @public_affairs

Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders. A Supreme Court saying that a president, even if he used the government to murder someone, could not be held accountable for the crime. Nine out of ten House races drawn so that you know who’s going to win before the first vote is cast in a 50/50 country. This is not an academic concern. This hurts us. This is why things aren’t working properly. This is how they can make you pay more at the pump for a war you never asked for, how they burned down the Department of Education while we’re worried about kids who can’t do math or read like they’re supposed to. This is why we can’t have nice things. But it doesn’t have to be this way. And that’s what we’re here to do something about.
