"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history. It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump." open.substack.com/pub/thebul…

I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule. Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill. Here's what makes this so enraging: 59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table. The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining. Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it. What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left. What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention." The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing. 1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests. The administration isn't asking anyone this time. What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them? #DemsUnited

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that the audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he's planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY. Don't let him slide on this.

NEW EPISODE: Trump and his administration are quietly building a national list of approved voters — and if your name isn't on it, you may not be able to vote by mail or at all in 2026. youtube.com/watch?v=8QfU1JHe…

Lions are social animals while tigers prefer to be alone and this moment says it all

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath. Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

Trump's EPA has demanded agency scientists redact and downplay the health risks of chemicals found in consumer products like household cleaners and cosmetics.

I was crazy busy at work today but wanted to say a few words about this before the day ended. I don't normally write shit like this but this one hit hard. Buffy the Vampire Slayer just by name alone should have been a 1 season corny 90's teen soap joke. But it ended up being a beloved show that took it's audience serious and created a lifelong fandom. A huge part of that was because Anthony Head's Rupert Giles, a strong, caring, smart, father figure to a whole generation of young people. He was strong, caring, smart, and talented, and that's something we don't get a lot of today in modern day male characters. RIP "Ripper" 🥃

So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?
