This is a senior Justice Department official.

Who is in charge of pardons.

And also in charge of investigating the β€œpoliticization” of the Justice Department.

Among the many errors this administration has made: 2019 was not the Biden administration. The VP tweets without first checking for obvious errors. If they make the easy ones, they're making the more subtle, less obvious ones too.

Wow. Just wow. Rubio is also compromised? Easiest explanation. Did he forget about our guarantee to protect Ukraine?

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.

The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Ok, this is really worth watching if you’re concerned about what’s going on. Not sure how it helps with canceled federal office leases and illegally stopped government payments in the short term, but it gives me a bit of hope. Could it be he is going to just fail miserably once the courts catch up?

Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.

The REAL Waste That DOGE Should Cut
DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon Musk to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax ... The REAL Waste That DOGE Should Cut

The fundamental issue that DOGE is failing to address isn’t the size of the government or how β€œefficient” it is β€” but who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires β€” or for the rest of us?

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.

Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.

How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.

His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

What we should really be concerned about is that they clearly made his portrait a professional reproduction of his mugshot.

Post showing precipitous decline of share of deaths in Massachusetts from diseases for which vaccines are now available, from 70% in 1840 to low digits % by 1950-60 where it is stayed. 

Caption: There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination.

Massachusetts is one of those places.

From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.
