RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
The Trump administration had every tool to protect Americans in the Middle East before starting this war. They chose inaction.
What weβre seeing is a massive failure of competence. When leadership fails to act during a window they control, they own the fallout.
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been βinundatedβ with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesusβ¦
As your State Auditor, I pledge that I will follow the money, stand up to waste, fraud, and abuse, and stop corruption in our government.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Too many fingers on her left hand too.
Interesting article. Also interesting that the BBC has Bill Clinton's sworn statement to Congress.
"Mr Epstein offered a plane . . . in support of visiting the Foundation's philanthropic work," the president said in a sworn statement submitted to Congress last month and obtained by the BBC.
This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
Thank you,, Madam Secretary, for your leadership and incredible bravery. You will be more of an historical figure than most of our elected presidents.
You are loved.
Hillary Clinton has been a children's rights advocate since the 1970s. James Comer is an advocate for ... Donald J. Trump.
BREAKING: Trump-related files withheld from DOJ release. Missing Epstein files include interviews with an accuser of Donald Trump, where she alleged that Trump forced her to perform oral sex on him when she was 13-14 years old. She also accused him of then hitting her. (MS NOW)
I am certain that if Netflix bends the knee to the tangerine tyrant millions more will cancel Netflix just like I will.

Holy shit.
A lot of people have suggested this, but I donβt think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.
He now understands what it's like being in jail.
One day, he'll understand what it's like being in hell.
And the look on the drivers face is of utter contempt. It looks like he's trying to refrain himself from turning around and beating the shit out of him.
A photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor looking absolutely shocked and terrified after being arrested and released by the police while in the car driving away. The look on his face is absolutely priceless. He looks like someone whacked him over the back of his head.

I had to know if this photo was real and holy shit it is. Of course, it shows Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being driven away in a car after being released by the police, but he looks like he can't comprehend what's happening to him. He's gone.
Good thing Fox doesnβt do this.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit
Russia is engineering a migration crisis for Europe, spreading disinformation across West Africa to push desperate people toward deadly Mediterranean routes, while private militias control smuggling networks in Libya. The aim is to destabilize & divide the EU. Time to counter it.
New, by me: A must-read NYT Magazine report showed how Senator Chuck Grassley's oversight work as Judiciary Committee chair led to career FBI agents or supervisors being forced out, in some cases with no investigation supporting their alleged wrongdoing.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing βdeath, physical abuse, or injuryβ from yesterdayβs Epstein files release.
WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???
As Oliver Hardy would say, "Another fine mess".... as Trump is trying to not just void the 17th Amendment, but seeks to bypass ratifying the change by the voters approving this by vote in each state. Otherwise he's not got time to pass it in Congress to be voted on by each state before November
Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
