When does the perfect become the enemy of the good? And how does that calculus change when the lives of cancer-stricken children are on the line?

NEW: The most important Sunday read.
Drug courts are saving lives. Red states love them. People depend on them. But Trump could very well blow it all up

Mike Johnson says "Every day of this shutdown [Trump] has tried... to lessen the pain as much as possible."
What a crock. Trump openly brags that he's using the shutdown to do mass layoffs, terminate programs, "kill" the Democrats, and inflict pain.
Johnson can't hide the truth: Trump is a sadist.
NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly says he's tried to contact Adm. Alvin Holsey, who led the US Southern Command, and whose abrupt retirement raised questions about whether he was uncomfortable with the military operations in the Caribbean. He has not been successful

NEW: Scientists may be more comfortable in labs than on TV. They may prefer medical journals to press releases. They may find research more soothing than advocacy. But as RFK Jr has dismantled the CDC, they are now reorienting their lives around fighting back

A fascinating piece about life as an in-the-trenches GOP operative in the Trump era and the compromises you have to make. Almost all are now fully bought in. But some remain concerned. This one decided he had enough.
Please read and share!

Not a lot of urgency on redistricting in IL for some reason…
"It always becomes clear the GOP alternative will mean fewer people with insurance." Same as it ever was.
The latest edition of The Breakdown from @citizencohn.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/something-...
"Trump was asked, 'What’s your relationship with God like? And how do you pray?' ...The first words out of his mouth were: 'OK, so I think it’s good. I do very well with the evangelicals.' He bragged about all the people who prayed for him. He said nothing about praying for anyone or anything else."
so true
NEW: Two Nobel-winning economists at MIT (currently embroiled in a fight with the Trump administration) are decamping for the University of Zurich next academic year—a pretty clear illustration of brain drain.

NEW: Nine months ago, Elon Musk's nascent, DOGE effort killed off a beloved pediatric cancer initiative in the govt funding fight. I circled back to see where those bills now stood. What I discovered was less scandalous but no less depressing.

NEW: A new payolla scandal is rocking right-wing media circles, with accusations that top influencers have been given cash to try and smooth MAGA relations with India

NEW: A Brazilian fugitive with a history of forgery, who's wanted by the FBI and who even the Bolsinaros consider nuts, has accused Bill Barr of orchestrating Trump's prosecutions. Crazier still, big MAGA accounts are falling for it.
