@dropkickmurphys.com nails it! Is this the anthem? www.reddit.com/r/50501/comm...

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

"You can paint the walls and replace the porch trim—but if the foundation is cracked and the studs are full of termites, it’s still not a home people want to live in."

Preach!

The lowdown on MAGA's ambassador to Canada. This guy is bad news. There is a reason Trump put him on the Canada file. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-mag...

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

sars_cov.2_covid_19 Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

Two of the nation’s most preeminent pediatricians, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Sapna Singh join host Dr. Vin Gupta for an expansive conversation on tackling health misinformation, the real meaning of the MAHA agenda, and the ongoing measles epidemic. Listen to the new episode of Meidas Health!

After years of head-scratching, I think we all viscerally understand how (not necessarily why) the 1918 flu pandemic was memory holed.

Welcome to the better place!

No one looks as horrible as Jake Tapper does right now. May his book rot on shelves wherever good people gather.

Trump vs. Trump… amazing…

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

First, the company that owns TurboTax donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Now, he’s going after Direct File, the IRS program that lets you file your taxes for free. Looks like Trump is choosing his corporate buddies over working families—again.

The Republican bill is incredibly unpopular. It would hurt millions & give tax cuts to billionaires. Make the politics SO toxic that Republicans have to rework the budget framework completely. Protest! Resist! Join together to fight back! app.sosha.ai/s/nA9tzxpb

To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs

Mark Cuban on why the Trumpcession will hit small cities/towns the worst, especially as they feel the brunt of his federal spending cuts.

Some people get it. Others...don't yet have a clue. We must change this as quickly as possible.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.
