The criticisms of how this has been handled has absolutely nothing to do with the pilots. ONLY Trump is dragging them into this discussion. Once again he is using the military for partisan politics, and Dan Caine and every other senior military officer should be embarrassed.

RFK Jr's antivaccine advocacy led to so many child deaths in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins. That's what happened.

"People who formerly worked at the agencies told NOTUS they see the coalescing of power at DHS as a way for Trump to cement his grip over law enforcement. If you consolidate it, you only have to rely on one set of loyalists instead of 30." www.rawstory.com/stephen-mill...

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

It "hits hard" for fucking morons.

There's going to be a press conference with a lot of lies tomorrow. As usual.

Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Under grilling by Jon Ossoff, Russ Vought repeatedly refuses to admit that it was a mistake to fire the federal employees who oversaw the safety of the nuclear stockpile (a mistake the administration acknowledged when they had to scramble to hire them back)

"Trump plans to dismiss hundreds of thousands of asylum claims, opening every person whose claim is dismissed to deportation." "By targeting asylum seekers, Trump is giving up all pretense of going after criminals." www.beltway.news/p/trump-drop...

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Correction: everyone does *not* know what happens when you drop 30,000-lb penetrator bombs. Many people, in fact, have wildly unrealistic expectations of what happens when you throw a hand grenade.

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

Honor amongst thieves.

I am convinced, although I have no hard evidence, that ICE has gotten orders to go out and re-detain Iranians with final orders of removal, many out in the community on orders of supervision for decades as Iran wouldn't take them. They may now be deported to Panama or somewhere random.

This monstrous June 23 decision is even harder to comprehend than disastrous — but still understandable — rulings like the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade or the decision creating permanent nearly absolute presidential immunity from criminal prosecution www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

The answer is either yes or no. And we all know which of those “I dont recall” is.

On the absurd DOJ argument that Mr. Abrego Garcia should be held in criminal custody because otherwise ICE might deport him, the judge notes that “At bottom, the Government asks the Court to save it from itself because it may suffer irreparable harm completely of its own making.”

Kulldorff calls for the establishment of a CDC work group examining whether or not children today get too many vaccines and cumulative harms of that. This is explicitly anti-vaccine propaganda and senseless. When new vaccines are evaluated in prelicensure clinical trials, you do not...

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

"Redwood was the president of the group now called Children's Health Defense, which lists as its founder Robert F. Kennedy Jr." This is a joke. Someone needs to stop this shit. This woman is an Anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-vac...

"The Department of Justice has filed suit against Washington state over a new law requiring Catholic priests to report child abuse even if knowledge of the abuse was obtained during confession." Because religion. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/doj-...

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

What the fuck is happening? How is this acceptable?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

"Many mothers who travel more than 100 miles so that a doctor might see their child return home without them." "The world’s richest man stopped lifesaving aid from reaching the world’s poorest children, closing off their future as he fantasizes about another." www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting? Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.

I'm sure the 10 million people losing coverage will be happy that coverage is "stronger" for the people that remain on it.

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

CARTER: How could you possibly justify the decision to terminate HIV vaccines studies? RFK JR: We've been promising an HIV vaccine since 1984 and every year Congress pours money into it CARTER: Because they haven't come up with one, you then cut the forward motion by getting rid of NIH dollars?
