i understand the framing, which is about RFK jr lying to a senator to get senate approval but RFK jr also lied to the american public just completely unacceptable for a public official and senator bill cassidy is not the only one who should take action for being lied to

I have no problem saying that Greta Thunberg is braver than I’ll ever be. Admit it instead of deepening your cowardice and insisting that she’s done something selfish when she’s done something truly selfless.

This is such shame. Prosecutors played loose with the truth. Their case was absurd — and sets some dangerous precedents. I’ll have more tomorrow but for now, here’s a primer on OneTaste and why they case against them was weak, weird, and bad news for all sorts of reasons reason.com/2025/02/19/t...

In 2020, when Trump deployed the military in DC for his Bible photo op, the next group deployed was Federal Bureau of Prisons guards. There were some in our neighborhood pointing weapons at people. They told me they had no training for dealing with civilian populations, and they seemed terrified.

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Protests across the country are a sign of weakness. Attempting to turn the military against the American people 6 months into your term is a sign of weakness. Don’t believe the anti-anti-Trump people in both parties who have always been in awe of Trump. They’re still wrong.

Trump NIH director Bhattacharya took to Twitter to spin the Bethesda Declaration. We're here to point out his confusion and contradictions. 🫡 First, it is laughable for him to say he's removing ideology. Trump has inserted a rightwing ideology, stripping Harvard of science for ideological reasons.
