RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals β€” the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc.

It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

To be clear:

Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all.

Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal.

The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.

CBO says Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill will add 3.8 TRILLION to the national debt.

If Republicans were proud of their bill, they'd debate it in the light of day.

Instead, they're trying to move it under the cover of night like the cult of cowards that they are.

They know that ripping away healthcare and food assistance from millions is harmful and unpopular.

mRNA vaccines are the biggest breakthrough in disease prevention and treatment in decades. We're curing *cancer* with mRNA vaccines. To eliminate research in this field, at this moment, is fall-of-the-empire-grade stuff.

I bet Congress would be *shocked* to know how many military families use SNAP benefits because they are not paid enough to defend the country. The pro-life caucas still wouldn't give a damn about American lives, all while waving the flag.

Another woman in Texas died because she couldn’t get a D&C after a miscarriage.

A corpse has more bodily autonomy in the US than a pregnant woman. A non-organ donor will not have their life-saving organs harvested, despite the need. But a pregnant woman can be kept pregnant even if it kills her.🀦

A lot of folks don't fully comprehend the difference between a million and a billion, so here's an example:

A million seconds = 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

A billion seconds = 31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

The difference is pretty huge.

Yes. I’m in Minneapolis & there are 6 Target stores within 5 miles of my house. I did all of my family’s household/grocery shopping, most of my holiday shopping & most of my kids’ clothes shopping at Target. I haven’t purchased anything there since Jan 24th. I spent ~$1k btwn Jan 1-24. Zero since.

Elon Musk Hollows Government So Trump Can Refill It From Marc | In more than 30 lawsuits filed against the new administration, the government has not won one on the merits.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen β€” who himself has contracts with the federal government β€” to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks:

Anyone who fell for the "Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025" line is a sucker and an idiot. Talk about easily conned.πŸ™„ There was an abundance of evidence this was the case, including him bragging about it before he learned it was unpopular.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

* Currently paused by Executive Order
** Grant reviews now all canceled

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.

Never seen anything like this.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
