By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

‘Undermining trust’: Kennedy’s promises on vaccines put to the test The health secretary wants regulators to question long-settled science and public health guidance.

RFK Jr. promised he would not discourage vaccines or make the shots “difficult” to access during his confirmation hearings for the nation's top health official.

Now that the longtime anti-vaccine activist has the job, he’s putting his promise to the test.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

JUST NOW: CNN’s Pamela Brown shut down Stephen Miller as he spiraled into a full-blown meltdown

“STEPHEN THIS IS MY SHOW.”

Pamela Brown didn’t just fact-check Miller - she dismantled him.
Maybe next time instead of an interview, CNN can arrange an
exorcism.

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

Absolutely true 👍.

C.D.C. Contradicts Kennedy and Keeps Advice That Children May Get Covid Shots

Breaking News: The CDC kept Covid shots on an updated vaccination schedule for children, days after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they would be taken off.

PBS has filed a lawsuit in U.S. district court, suing the president to block his executive order that would cut all of its federal funding.

It follows a similar complaint filed by NPR earlier this week.

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

Let's talk about it: Donald Trump has been obsessed with eugenics for decades. So here is a timeline to show you how deep this obsession runs.

We begin in the 1980s, when it was alleged that Trump said, “Get rid of the [expletive] braille. No blind people are going to live in Trump Tower."

Trump Tariffs Ruled Illegal by Federal Judicial Panel

Breaking News: A panel of federal judges blocked President Trump from imposing some tariffs, finding that he vastly overstepped his authority under federal law.

Missouri Supreme Court defies voters, halts abortions in the state Despite passage of a constitutional amendment last fall, the ping-pong battle over "reproductive freedom" continues.

The people of Missouri made it very clear: They wanted abortion rights (at least until fetal viability).

Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen.

In ‘Cancer Alley,’ a Battle Over Who Gets to Measure Air Pollution

A new Louisiana law makes it illegal to use air pollution data to push for stricter controls or enforcement unless it's collected with expensive monitors that meet strict EPA standards. Community groups are suing, saying it violates their right to free speech.

A win! A federal judge today blocked Trump’s executive order to dismantle the Department of Education and ordered the reinstatement of thousands of fired employees, a major setback for his plans. Thank you, Judge Myong J. Joun of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.

🚨MAJOR EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Greg Casar just called for a MASSIVE corruption probe into what he calls a “really serious allegation” - that Trump and Musk ran a tariff scam where countries dodged tariffs by signing contracts with Musk’s companies. This is explosive.

Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is? The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

Kristi Noem incorrectly defined habeas corpus as the president’s right to deport people. Huh? That’s… not even close.

We are DEFINITELY still outraged about this! How about you?

MAGA knows how unpopular their Medicaid cuts are. That’s why they’re refusing to hold town halls and dodging their own voters. Let’s turn up the heat!

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S. The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.
