We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

The Trump administration has been ordered to return control of the National Guard back to California.

The correct decision. And a win for the rule of law.

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised:

1. Get every vaccine you need

2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95).

These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.

A social media post featuring two tweets. The first tweet by Anne Applebaum states that every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress, and mentions age restrictions for using the reading room. The second tweet from Acyn quotes a reporter asking why the president fired the Librarian of Congress, followed by a response addressing concerns about actions taken regarding the library and children’s books. The background includes the White House press briefing setting with a lectern and flags.

We are not under invasion.

There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.

Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.

I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streetsβ€”nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million β€” and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Marjorie Taylor-Greene attacks NPR and PBS as β€˜communist,’ calls for funding to β€˜end’ | CNN Business For Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and other House Republicans, today’s DOGE subcommittee hearing is about tarnishing PBS and NPR with accusations of bias and targeting them for defunding.

Whack-job Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks NPR and @pbs.org as β€˜communist,’ calls for funding to β€˜end’

My daughter grew up on great educational PBS programming, and NPR reports the highest quality, accurate, non-partisan news in our nation.

Meaning, THE TRUTH.

How the Education Department cuts could hurt low-income and rural schools With cuts to nearly all the staff at the Department of Education's primary data agency, low-income and rural schools may not get the federal funds they rely on in coming years.

Eliminating Title I grants would put 300,000 teachers out of workβ€”including more than 1,000 here in Maine.

The President promised to lower the cost of groceries and fight inflation. Instead, he’s firing teachers.

He cares more about tax breaks for billionaires than our children’s education.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
