And how exactly will Trump “cure cancer” without science and medical research funding?

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

When Democrats propose a bill limiting the President’s power to deploy National Guard troops on US soil they should name the act after the guardsmen who tragically lost their lives today because of Trump’s capricious decision to deploy them to DC for no good reason.

EPA to abandon air pollution rule that would prevent thousands of U.S. deaths The Environmental Protection Agency will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.

This week, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency moved to abandon the national health-based limits on fine particulate matter, also known as soot. A move that scientists say could lead to dirtier air and more U.S. deaths.

After a heavy drone attack damaged energy & port infrastructure in Odesa, firefighters worked through repeated air raid alerts to extinguish multiple fires. WCK’s #ChefsForUkraine team was on site at the port to support responders with meals & drinks.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Senator Mark Kelly Is in the Wrong Job He should be secretary of defense.

Pete Hegseth is right: Mark Kelly shouldn't be a senator.

He should take Hegseth's job and be SECDEF.

I'll be on MSNOW at 4pm to talk more about it.

They hate Sen. Kelly because he is everything they are not: a true soldier, brave, honest and determined to defend our Constitution.

CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back. “I have heard that they are planning to ‘update it’ and shudder to think what that will mean,” Demetre Daskalakis, a former member of CDC leadership, told NOTUS.

MAHA is breaking far more than websites.

Disobey illegal orders. A soldier’s duty is to uphold the law. If given an illegal order, the correct action is to refuse it, document it, and report it up the chain of command or to legal authorities. Protect civilians, yourself, your unit, the mission, and the nation.

Sen. Kelly responds: "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

That MAGA Account Might Be a Troll From Pakistan How X blew up its own platform with a new location feature

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

This is a great example of what not do to when you write a headline—especially a cover story.

This is irresponsible. He is not in science he’s against science. He’s killing people because he is so AGAINST science.

Press—do better. Do not repeat their messaging. Do not repeat the lies.

Influencers made millions pushing ‘wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors

Yolande Norris Clark used to call us the “Conspirituality bros” as a slur when we covered her shady ass business back in 2020.

Reading how many people she fked over, and the number of babies who died because of her “school,” is horrifying.

Keep calling out the GOP for their own party’s president creating an environment of political violence.
Trump is sick & unhinged.
Call your reps.
Senator Kelly is my senator and I support him 100%!
