Attacks on Judges Undermine Democracy, Warns Ketanji Brown Jackson
Speaking to a judicial conference, the Supreme Court justice said attacks were designed to intimidate and influence.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

Over and over again, I've heard different members (including the leader) of this regime suggesting that "some people" in this country "aren't entitled" to due process.

We need to face this: US farmers are 3.5x more likely to die by suicide than the general population.
Farmers go through unique stressors. Congress allocated money to help get them therapy, which has now run out. We need to fund mental health support for farmers permanently.

Trump and Rubio couldn't pass a citizenship test if they tried
Have President Trump and Secretary Rubio even looked at the U.S. Citizenship test? Because one of the questions we ask those who want to become citizens is about the rights protected by the First Amendment.
I don't think either of them could pass that test if they tried.

Trump and Bukele are colluding in this illegal scheme
The Trump Administration admitted in court it NEVER should have abducted Mr. Abrego Garcia and is defying a Supreme Court order to facilitate his return — and Bukele is complicit in this illegal scheme.
That's why @kaine.senate.gov and I are forcing a vote on our bill to hold them accountable.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.
It also received $22M in federal aid.
While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

ICE recently deported two families in Louisiana that included children who are U.S. citizens, one of whom was deported without their cancer medication.
We're demanding their return home to Louisiana.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims
Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.
‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’
One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

The First Enforcement Act of 1870 was a major step in protecting freed Black Americans’ right to vote. The Act criminalized voter intimidation and gave the federal government power to intervene when states failed to act. 111 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

Rick Wilson on Marco Rubio's debasement
"He’s become an obscene parody of the guy Marco Rubio once claimed to be."
New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement
"He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

🧵RFKJ insists HHS cuts “won’t affect the science”. So let’s talk employee numbers. In January 2025, CDC had ~13,000 employees. On Feb 17, ~700 were fired (150 rehired). On Apr 1, 2700 were fired. Several hundred more will take early retirement. We have already lost over 1 in 4 workers.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…
I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.
