Pete Hegseth and the Generals The story of self-styled “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth’s meeting for top military leaders has evolved since the earliest leaks last week.

The day before Jan 6, the 10 living Secretaries of Defense wrote about the danger of politicizing the military. Their words are essential rereading today. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Walz counters federal vaccine moves with state-level order to maintain broad access Minnesota moves to maintain access to vaccines after federal guidance last week ordered limitations on who has access to the COVID-19 booster shot.

Vaccines are one of the greatest public health achievements in modern medicine.

Protecting access is vital to the health and safety of Minnesotans.

The ridiculous reason Trump downplayed domestic violence as a crime The president’s goal is to claim that he’s completely eliminated crime in Washington, D.C. That led him to express irritation about domestic violence.

OPINION by @stevebenen.com:

“…since claiming 100% crime reduction is what apparently matters most, Trump expressed irritation about domestic violence interfering with his political boast.”

The photo captures a serene beach scene at sunset. In the foreground, there’s a small glass bottle with a cork, containing a rolled-up scroll tied with a bright red ribbon—resembling a “message in a bottle.” The bottle is partly embedded in wet sand near the water's edge, reflecting the golden light of the setting sun. Gentle bubbles and ripples surround it, adding texture to the smooth surface of the wet sand. In the background, the horizon glows with warm hues of orange, yellow, and hints of blue as the sun sets, casting its reflection across the water. A pier stretches into the distance, silhouetted against the sky. The overall mood of the photo is peaceful, romantic, and slightly mysterious, evoking themes of love, secrets, and timeless messages carried by the sea.

👀Wow, this photo of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders giving a speech while literally leaving students out in the rain behind her is getting a lot of attention.

Perfectly symbolic of conservatives in America, leaving your kids out in the rain.

Please stop talking about a third term as if it’s an option. It’s not. The Union is dissolved if he attempts it.

.@envirn.bsky.social's Dr. Hannah Noel highlights climate-related health impacts in Charleston, S.C., including mental health. Flooding is particularly bad in her community, which brings in additional pollutants & toxins.

"There's not one person I know in Charleston who doesn't have a flood story."

see folks need a reminder this weekend

Yes, it IS sick. But totally what we’d expect from Trump.

A tale of self-acceptance, identity, & first love, "Cemetery Boys" by @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social is today's #VelshiBannedBookClub feature. It's a masterclass in why the fantasy genre is used to explore complex topics & make them more accessible to young adult readers. The author joins me at 11aET.

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

Federal data website outage raises concerns among advocates The outage has raised concerns among advocates who already were troubled by the disappearance of data sets from government websites after President Donald Trump began his second term.

A federal website that informs the public about what information agencies are collecting and allows for public comment went down last weekend, and it has only been partially restored. https://to.pbs.org/45Nd8PS

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.

HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
