NEWS: Trump is shrinking two national monuments in Utah by more than 90%. Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears are home to significant dinosaur fossils and sacred Native American sites.
These are the largest cuts to public lands in US history. https://t.co/3mudAFvCSt
It can feel tedious to keep repeating it, but Trump and the wider Republican Party are very actively and openly trying to end democracy in America. This is unfathomably dangerous and insane.
This parasite affects fresh produce. The screwworm affects livestock. Both vital to our food supply. Alpha-gal is a tick-borne disease that makes us allergic to meat and dairy. The Trump admin cut programs that protected us against all of these things, and they’re all worse now.
MS NOW: Two Atlanta-based FBI intelligence analysts were fired last week after refusing to participate in the Trump admin's investigation of Georgia's 2020 election.
The analysts told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and DOJ policies. https://t.co/iVFlFroRue
🚨WOW ... all three witnesses interviewed separately. All three say the same thing. Salgado did NOT ram the car. ICE agents fired at them anyway, then mocked Salgado as he bled out on the street. READ:
Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.
If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.
To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.
There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.
Trump fired all three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, leaving the agency with no commissioners just months before the midterms https://t.co/YNJjsNJsnE
