Psychiatrists call for RFK Jr. to be replaced as health secretary Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

The Goldwater Rule does not rule out one or all psychiatrists calling for the replacement of a government official. It only restricts them offering a official diagnosis as the basis for why doing so would be advisable.

Instead of seeking the Shalom of our neighbors, Christian Nationalism demands we lord over them, something Jesus expressly commanded his followers not to do.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, "I'm from the federal government and I'm here to help."

Plus, yes, the federal government SHOULD leave states and local communities alone to solve their own crime, education, and other problems. I thought that's exactly what Republicans said they believed.

Tonight is the last night of his Antichrist lectures. But if you pay attention to his writing and talks since the pandemic, there is nothing new in them. I explain here.

Exclusive | CBS News taps Adam Rubenstein — once ostracized at NY Times for liking Chick-fil-A — as new deputy editor Sources expect Rubenstein will effectively run the Free Press now that Weiss will be busy steering the editorial direction of shows like “60 Minutes,” “Face The Nation” and …

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

That's not a call for secession, btw. It's a call for coordinating strategies and responses among states that Trump is targeting.

Even in countries that chose *not* to impose retaliatory tariffs on US spirits, our spirits exports have plummeted. Exports to UK and Japan declined >23% YoY, while exports to the EU were down 12%.
Canada did retaliate - and US exports there fell 85%.

They own him now, and the history books (if there are any more) will credit them with a role in America’s descent into authoritarianism.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

“.. it appears to justify an open-ended war against a secret list of groups, giving the president power to designate drug traffickers as enemy combatants and have them summarily killed without legal review.”

That’s right, folks!

If you want to sit around and get paid by the government while not working, you need to become a Republican Congressman!

Then you can just take another week off and sit on the couch all you want.

this is the jacket's breast pocket lining pulled up to make it look like a pocket square

I don't need all the fingers on one hand to count the number of real journalists in our media today.

OMFG🤬

Truly unbelievable. These folks are absolutely despicable if they want women to be executed for having an abortion…women need to start voting like our lives depend on the outcome of elections (which we all should have been doing all along)

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions. He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly. The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity. He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings. Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

Right now it takes 60 votes to pass a CR.

But it only takes 51 to pass a recissions package.

So even if Dems agree *today* (which they shouldn't), Republicans can go back on their word at any time with just their caucus voting for recissions.

It is, of course, entirely legitimate and commendable to support small farms. But, as the historian Robert Paxton pointed out, “It was in the countryside that both Mussolini and Hitler won their first mass following, and it was angry farmers who provided their first mass constituency.”

this is a key point that i'm seeing a lot of casual observers miss as they call for boycotting paramount (sure, fine) & note that weiss lacks the skill to run cbs (correct.) the project is to dismantle the news media. traditional business metrics don't really apply when the goal is destruction.

60 Minutes intro in 2028: “I’m Jesse Watters. I’m Laura Loomer. I’m Tim Pool. I’m that Black guy on Fox n’ Friends. Those stories and AI generated Charlie Kirk, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.

She'll turn it into a rag. Bari Weiss allowed the Free Press to publish stories trying to exonerate Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. She's a propagandist, and not even a good writer. She's good at making oligarchs like her, and in this country that's what gets you money and power.

Storied no more.

i could write a tome about how fucking embarrassing it is for journalism that someone as morally bankrupt as bari weiss has ascended to the highest levels of money and power by tickling trump's balls but instead i'm going to keep covering the people hurt most by his terror and giving them a voice.

One data point worth noting: bsky.app/profile/andy...

“The Bulwark is a written, video, and audio product. And as we grow, we are looking for people who can excel across all those mediums,” CEO Sarah Longwell said in a statement. “Catherine is not just one of those people — she’s one of the best of those people.”

How tall is this player ? If Trump is 6'3", he must be 6'10".

I guess Lt. Calley will be getting the Medal of Honor now, right?

Where are all my fellow "state's rights" Southerners? Should y'all be up in arms about these violations? Why am I hearing only crickets???

Washington Post economics columnist moves to The Bulwark Catherine Rampell will write a weekly economics and policy-focused newsletter for the anti-Trump media brand.
