Can’t stop thinking about this and what it says about a person.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the unprecedented threat that RFK Jr’s policies pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

As Los Angeles Olympics Loom, Critics Worry Its Cultural Plan Is Lagging

"Arts leaders in Los Angeles say that, three years out, their city’s Olympics committee — LA28 — hasn’t adequately taken up that torch, with no cultural plan yet announced, just two people assigned to the effort (one is a volunteer); and no dedicated fundraising for ambitious arts programming" 🎁🔗

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Tommy Tuberville on the 2020 census: "The Democrats were letting illegals come in for a different count. They obviously had a census going that was all rigged. The 2020 election basically was rigged."

(Believe it or not, Donald Trump was president in 2020.)

BOOM 🔥:

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Gov Newsom and I are joining AG Rayfield’s lawsuit to block the unlawful deployment of the California National Guard to Oregon.

Time and time again, President Trump has shown a clear disregard for the law and the facts on the ground in his efforts to militarize American cities.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.”

BREAKING: A federal judge has granted a restraining order blocking President Trump's call-up of the National Guard in Portland.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

"Eva" harvests blackberries in Oxnard, CA. The job may sound easy, but it's very hard. I must work very fast to fill my buckets, then put the berries in the plastic baskets and stack the baskets in the boxes. It's tiring repetitive work that makes my back & neck ache. #WeFeedYou

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

Donald Trump says he wants our military to use cities like Los Angeles and Portland as a "training ground." Absolutely not.

This un-American, illegal use of the military to terrorize in our communities must end now.
