It's a sad day in this country when a man can't even engage in contract kidnappings for the government without savage sandwich bombings

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again."

So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines.

Do I have this right?

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Warren: "Powell himself said he would've lowered interest rates in February but for the fact of Trump's tariff chaos. So that means that if you have credit cards, car loans, you've been paying more for 6 months now because of one human being -- Donald Trump, and the chaos he causes."

Republican Lawmaker Dumped Medicaid-Related Stock Before Voting to Gut Program Elizabeth Warren said Robert Bresnahan protected his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million.

It's time to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks.

Republicans' big bill could hit rural hospitals hard NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sarah Jane Tribble, chief rural correspondent for KFF Health News, about how potential cuts to Medicaid could impact rural hospitals.

"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."

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

That's the spirit. :)

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

DOGE tried to embed in GAO. Experts say it should have asked GAO for help instead DOGE attempted to assign a team to the Government Accountability Office, an influential congressional watchdog agency. It refused. But experts say DOGE could have learned much from GAO.

I've been fighting to stop Trump and the Republicans from changing voting rules and suppress voting rights for years. The North Carolina Supreme Court election is just the latest example of them trying and us beating them in court.

Love this.

Not only is the University of Alabama not bending the knee for Trump, they basically said “f*ck off.”

Texas measles cases rise to 561. Here is what you need to know. There are now 23 counties reporting at least one measles case.

The number of cases reported in Texas' historic measles outbreak has risen to 561, an increase of 20 cases since Friday, according to state officials on Tuesday.

Of those, 58 patients have been hospitalized since the outbreak began in January.

😆

Ah, memories. :)

Trump’s D.C. U.S. attorney pick appeared on Russian state media over 150 times Trump nominee Ed Martin’s 100-plus appearances on Russian state-directed media RT and Sputnik from 2016 to 2024 alarm some former national security officials.

DOJ provides no new information on Abrego Garcia but says if he manages to return to the US, they'll detain him and remove him to a different country (not El Salvador) or seek to "terminate" his order of removal and send him back to El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

"highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict..."
