I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

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."

The latest from former U.S. surgeons general Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, Joycelyn Elders, Vivek Murthy, Antonia Novello and David Satcher:

Conversion therapies, for both sexual preferences & gender identity, have been associated with increases in suicidality and PTDS. This is why these practices were banned.

Judge Poised to Free Abrego Garcia if Officials Can’t Supply Deportation Plans

The Trump admin has lied about this case from the start — and now it can't get its story straight about next steps for Mr. Abrego Garcia.

This reeks of a political prosecution and the courts must continue to ensure his due process rights are protected.

Great to see this! I have Long been a fan of universal base income and I know it would be hard to roll out in the United States, but still! Every economist I’ve ever seen tackle this thinks it’s a great idea and here’s some (more) evidence that it is true

International student arrivals to the US dropped 19% this year, the biggest drop on record aside from the 2020 pandemic low.

Big Science vs. Little Science: How Scientific Impact Scales with Funding Agencies that fund scientific research must choose: is it more effective to give large grants to a few elite researchers, or small grants to many researchers? Large grants would be more effective only...

Research also shows that spreading smaller amounts of funding out over more researchers generally delivers better scientific outcomes per dollar spent than focusing bigger grants on fewer researchers.

BREAKING: "For all of the reasons" given in Saturday's TRO, Immergut grants plaintiffs' second motion for a TRO.

"Based on the conduct of the defendants, ... in direct contravention" of Saturday's TRO, the second TRO bars relocation or federalization of National Guard from "any state or D.C."

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

BREAKING: Immergut has *granted* Oregon and California's motion to block the new call-up of Guard troops to Portland. She says this effort to bring CA and TX troops to Oregon is in "direct contravention" of her oroginal order.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

#ICYMI: GOP lawmakers cite Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage as a national model for federal Medicaid work requirements that are set to take effect in 2027.
