One thing a lot of reporting is missing is that Trump is threatening California for something that is currently required by state law. Under the California School Success and Opportunity Act, students have the right to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity.

RFK Jr’s elimination of Covid-19 vaccine 😡 for children and during pregnancy is unsupported by science and indefensible. Please read and share what the CDC had recommended (and why!) up until now ⤵️

None of these men are legitimate scientists. This is not “good science.” COVID doubled death rates in pregnancy pre-vaccine, and mountains of evidence show COVID causes worse outcomes for mom & baby. Evidence also shows vaccination has no adverse effects on pregnancy or baby but does protect them.

Destroying Harvard University (and then the entire Ivy League) has been the dream of the libertarian plutocrats running the Trump administration for decades They don't want free thinkers. In fact, they don't want thinkers at all.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Kennedy, Makary, and Bhattacharya announced on X that they are pulling recommendations for Covid vaccines. They will no longer be part of the childhood vaccination schedule, and they're no longer recommended for pregnant people. There's a process for changing recs. It's not posting a video on X.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

The world's most basic* moral precept: Other people's lives have value and their well-being matters. (*meaning both the simplest to understand, and the most fundamental) Every major religion addresses this, from the 10 commandments to "Love thy neighbor". We are failing basic morality.

On Memorial Day, Illinois honors those who gave everything to protect our nation. We will never forget or take for granted their sacrifice, which allows us the freedoms we are so fortunate to have. To the loved ones they leave behind, know that their service won't be forgotten.

Hot dogs are a special part of American culture. There are delicious local hot dog styles available in nearly every state. From Chicago dog, to half-smoke, to Coney dog, to sonoran dog, and many more. When traveling venture out and try some, you'll meet the best people too.

At the Commencement for students graduating from University of Maryland School of Law I spent some time talking with law graduates about the significance of the oath they will take when they are admitted to the bar, and its importance to upholding the rule of law. Especially now.

Trump just pardoned a corrupt sheriff who was found guilty of taking bribes in exchange for law endorsement badges. Those who bought the badges used them to drive in emergency lanes, bypass TSA lines, and for other favors.

I have zero idea where the “Bluesky is dying” discourse is coming from (and genuinely don’t tell me cause I really don’t care) but my contribution to the conversation is that for like the first year and a half “Bluesky is dying” discourse happened basically monthly so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This morning I did an experiment, posting the same thing on [dying] Bluesky and [lively] X at the same time. I have around twice as many followers on Bluesky... and 10x higher engagement. But sure, liberals should stay in the bot-infested Nazi bar suppressing their posts. Because reasons. 🤷‍♂️

Between this and his West Point address, it’s pretty clear Donald Trump isn’t concerned with the troops and is just in it for himself. No mention of the fallen soldiers from our Commander in Chief.

You know how these guys are really into the idea that any disease can be cured with a healthy diet of unprocessed foods? Doesn’t work so well when the disease is E. coli from lettuce that isn’t reported publicly because FDA isn’t competent to keep food safe. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
