Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

"In unison."

Amen.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

By virtue of declaring the people who are anti fascist as terrorists against the government aren’t you declaring the government as fascist?

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Unbelievable…

@lauracoates.com Neil Young was fantastic! #FarmAid

One time, the Missouri Ethics Committee investigated me over a $30 donation…

Wow Neil Young’s opening song at Farm Aid - “Crime in DC at the White House “ - INCREDIBLE!

Questions Are Raised About Vaccine Panel’s Reliability as Policy Review Gets Underway

The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.

Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech.

Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

Brendan Carr Isn't Going to Stop Until Someone Makes Him Experts say the FCC commissioner's conduct—testing how far the agency can go to limit speech without ever quite formally censoring it—is flatly unconstitutional. That won't make it stop.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Maroon graphic reading "Today's Supreme Court order puts people at grave risk, allowing federal agents in Southern California to target individuals because of their race, how they speak, the jobs they work, or just being at a bus stop or the car wash when ICE agents decide to raid a place. For anyone perceived as Latino by an ICE agent, this means living in a fearful ‘papers please’ regime, with risks of violent ICE arrests and detention." This quote is attributed to Cecillia Wang, the National Legal Director of the ACLU.

Despite today’s outrageous ruling, we all have the right to go about our daily lives free from racial profiling by the federal government.

We will never stop fighting for our civil liberties and our immigrant communities.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

We are not living in a democracy any longer when our criminal justice system is used to selectively punish the President's political opponents and give his loyalists and friends immunity. We are becoming a banana republic in front our eyes and we cannot normalize it.

UPDATE: Enablers gonna enable.

Sotomayor, the first Hispanic justice: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job… I dissent.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Trump scrapped a Biden rule requiring airlines to compensate passengers for flight delays after the industry gave millions to Trump's inauguration and hired Trumpworld lobbyists.

This isn't about policy anymore.

It's about who can pay off Trump and get in his ear.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
