Rep. Miller’s district overlaps our β€œturf.” She is only marginally to the left of Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), if at all, and achieved national notoriety within weeks of first being elected by favorably quoting a certain mustachioed German.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

I’ve said for years that, like doctors, LEOs should be required to carry professional malpractice/liability insurance at their own expense as a condition of employment. Make it possible for consequences to follow them. β€” Jeff

But if enough of us turn out at the polls, their efforts will not work. If we vote by a large enough margin, there will be nothing they can do and any claims of voter fraud will lack legitimacy. Sure, we may need a general strike or millions in the streets protesting, I'm not disputing that...

Donald Trump and his lackeys will be held responsible for the violence and damage they’ve done to our nation β€” and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure of it.

this is total nonsense? presidents quite famously struggled to maintain control over the federal bureaucracy going back to before the civil war and congress has always interfered a great deal into the executive branch. congressional deference is the abnormality!

The biggest need will be the safety/deescalation team, simply because we anticipate a crowd for ~5k, maybe more. But also - publicity beforehand, setup/teardown, circulating with welcome materials… possibly more to come, too. β€” Jeff

In 1954, Edward R. Murrow reminded us that disagreeing with those in power isn’t the same as being disloyal. He warned against letting fear take over & replacing evidence with accusations.

This is a call to courage. Freedom doesn’t protect itself.

Fears of polio resurgence as US vaccine adviser questions need for childhood shots Survivors say US healthcare system not ready for new cases – β€˜the only thing to fix polio is the polio vaccine’

Every time I write about measles, experts warn that polio is next.

But it's been so long since we had polio outbreaks, there are very few doctors who even know how to treat its long-term health issues. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This economic idea transfixed Wall Street and Washington. It may be a mirage. Massive investment in AI contributed β€œbasically zero” to U.S. economic growth last year, Goldman Sachs has calculated.

"Prominent economists, including from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, calculate that the AI buildup was directly responsible not for 92 percent or 39 percent of gains to the U.S. economy in 2025, but as little as zero."

I mean, winning the gold in men’s hockey is nice and all but the real Miracle on Ice would be the miracle of getting rid of ICE and everyone and everything that goes with it. These are the β€œgoals” I am focused on at present. I’m sure Canada will find all of their democracy and healthcare consolation

More than that, extraordinary claims require EXTRAORDINARY evidence. The amount and credibility of the evidence needed rises in proportion to the unusual nature (or prior implausibility) of the claim.
