This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

Agreed. While these results are outstanding I think it will accelerate the authoritarian push. With so much illegal stuff already done they can’t afford to lose federally. Given a choice between authoritarianism or face prosecution upon losing democratically which do you think they will choose ?

Long COVID patients seeking help 'let down by the system' Patients are calling for better access to long COVID care after the closure of one of the country's last public clinics.

In awe of the team at Clinic Nineteen treating adults & children for long COVID & related diseases. COVID infection is commonplace in the community & repeat infections increase your chances of getting LC so do your best to avoid infection. Indoor air quality is key.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight.

Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

It's explainers, op-eds, fact checks, pre-bunking, research and the blog, with plans for news features and investigative journalism as it grows. So it's not news, news, but what's going on behind and around the news, issues based, and what matters. And it's free. Hope to see you there x

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

That Trump got away with his mishandling (theft?) of classified documents is bad enough but that he then uses classified documents as an excuse to go after his opponents is just… no words. We live in the worst timeline.

OTD in 2002 πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ began decommissioning its nuclear capable Tu-22 strategic bombers & Kh-22 cruise missiles, as per the Budapest memo.

30 bombers & 230 missiles were destroyed over 2 & half years in exchange for promise πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί would never invade.

But you can believe our promises now

This is so depressing. Our children and grandchildren will curse our names as the selfish, short sighted and overwhelmingly stupid generation that condemned the planet to ecological disaster.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved.

Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf.

No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.
