Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

The CRA (founded by Russ Vought) supports forcing a talking filibuster: “If the Republican majority can outlast the Democrat minority speeches (which could take weeks)… then a final vote on the SAVE Act would take place at a simple majority threshold of 51 votes…”
What do they mean by outlast?? 1/

Trump tried to corner Canada.

PM Mark Carney didn’t blink. He didn’t fly to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring!

Instead he did what no Canadian leader has done in our lifetime.
He told the president of the United States to go to hell!

Now that’s how you handle a bully!

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Minneapolis residents are facing a growing food crisis. Fear from ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from groceries.

The irony of Washington pushing a bill that would force sexual abuse survivors into arbitration with their abusers IN THIS ERA is nauseating

If you need to save money for your state budget, it shouldn’t come from the pockets of SA victims.

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Period.

The GOP are not stopping at birth certificates—SAVE ACT 2.0 will END online and mail-in voter registrations & voter registration drives.
Our democracy works when everyone has a voice!

Surprise! #ICE Breaking another law

Sound cannons can cause permanent hearing loss, nausea, vertigo, and dizziness.

In 2021, a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled using them on nonviolent protesters can cause injury & violates the Fourteenth Amendment.

DO NOT Fund Ice

Please listen to this interview.

Usually there's a sizable group of protesters behind barricades. Tonight there's a lone, dedicated woman who really cares about democracy — and the constitution.

Meet Christine.

I’m only part way through the first and my mind is reeling.

Listen to with caution.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Rep. Moskowitz: "The head of the Oath Keepers is here with us in the audience. Stewart Rhodes is here…someone who was convicted of seditious conspiracy against the United States…sitting in the front row in the reserved section, which is controlled by [Republicans]."

Just want to stress that this was a woman who was simply trying to get to a doctor's appointment.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

Ask your friends & family if they still think that this is the land of the free after watching this video.

If they think everyone should be vulnerable to raging lunatics asking the Nazi question, "Show me your papers."

#ICELawlessness is tyranny. Spell it out for them if they don't get it.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

I’ve been tracking and writing about Brownstone since December 2021 and it’s really validating to see these pieces.

Solid write-up from KFF on its influence. One thing left out: The group helped steer the GOP House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic long before Trump took office.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.
