GOP Sen. Josh Hawley shares his mindblowingly stupid thoughts on Juneteenth

Trump slapped with muzzle in classified docs case
A magistrate judge has signed off on special counsel Jack Smith’s request that Trump and his co-defendant Walt Nauta be prohibited from disclosing information the discovery handed over to the defense in the criminal case, an order that explicitly prevents him from airing juicy details on Truth Social to muddy the public's perception of the proceedings.

Winning one open Arizona seat is key to taking back the House

FBI slowed investigation into Trump’s role in January 6 for fear of appearing political
By sifting through an extensive review of internal documents, court files, congressional records, handwritten notes, and interviews with FBI officials, The Washington Post has learned that the FBI held off for months launching its formal investigation into Donald Trump's role in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection because the agency was afraid of appearing "partisan." The shocking revelation completely destroys the laughable MAGA narrative that the FBI has been doing the bidding of the Democratic Party — and in fact shows that the agency should have been doing even more to nail the crooked ex-president.
Biden touts his climate credentials in California
Gearing up for the 2024 campaign, President Biden wants to showcase his impressive climate record, an issue that — perhaps above all others at this juncture in history — qualifies him to be president over all Republican challengers. Since taking office, Biden's climate initiatives have included a $575 million Climate Resilience Regional Challenge, $2 billion in Energy Department funding to modernize the electrical grid — a move that will pump $67 million into California alone — as well as the first-ever White House Climate resilience summit. Meanwhile, Trump thinks that climate change is a Chinese hoax.

Today’s Action: Support the Writers Guild of America strike!
The writers of all our favorite TV and streaming shows are STILL on strike, and for very good reason. While the advent of streaming has unleashed a torrent of wonderful, high-quality entertainment, it has proven financially calamitous for writers, who have found themselves working for less and less pay year after year. Adjusted for inflation, writer pay has dropped 14% over the past five years! On top of that, their jobs (and the future quality of our favorite shows) are being threatened by the looming specter of AI-generated content and the hunger of big corporations to cut every single job they possibly can to maximize profits.
The companies' behavior has created a gig economy inside a union work force, and their immovable stance in this negotiation has betrayed a commitment to further devaluing the profession of writing, the Writers Guild of America said in a statement.
CEO compensation last year averaged roughly $32 million at the industry’s 12 major media companies. It's obvious these juggernauts can afford to properly compensate their writers. If they won't, then writers should continue to strike until they receive a fair contract.
Support striking WGA writers by donating your time and/or money! You can write letters of support, donate to the Snacklist (which delivers food and coffee to striking writers), share their demands online using the WGA social media toolkit (#WGAstrong, #WGAstrike), or — if you’re in LA or New York City — join them on the frontlines!
Still the OD Action newsletter you've come to know and love.
