They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touchβ€”from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.

So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

Democrats press for expanding inquiry into Caribbean boat strike Republican leaders have neither ruled out nor committed to launching a fuller investigation after revelations that U.S. forces killed two survivors of the attack.

A step in the right direction

"The Senate Armed Services Committee ... has asked Adm. Alvin Holsey ... to testify before the committee next week, according to Blumenthal and another person familiar with the matter."

The president's strikes against alleged Venezuelan drug boats demand a congressional select committee investigation. Abuse of power calls for prominent public exposure, not whispered consultations. More from Michael Waldman in The New York Times: nyti.ms/4ardrDW

Sen. Kelly: Read the boat strike memo into the Congressional Record Legislative immunity was made for this moment

Sen. Kelly: You're right that the Trump administration shouldn’t hide its legal justification for killing people at sea.

Luckily, you can help force transparency by reading the document into the Congressional Record.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

β€œWhat part of your body was the MRI on?”

Trump: no idea, but it wasn’t the brain!

90% probability MRI was on his brain.

Trump also says it’s ok to release it. Journalists, do your thing.

The more Trump officials get angry with questions about why in in April they approved the National Guard shooter--who was a CIA trained asset--staying in the US, the more we need to press on this issue. The Trump cover up is on edge of falling apart.

Social science takes time. Here, social scientists analyze a decade of evidence to show that a Supreme Court decision designed to suppress the black vote actually did. SCOTUS may soon obliterate the rest of the Voting Rights Act and we should not be shy about calling out what's going on here.

U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the β€œcrime” of telling people not to commit crimes.

We’ve fallen far.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:
