Reporter says she was fired from Trump-friendly outlet after criticizing Hegseth www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

NEW: Trump Administration Proposes Cutting Tribal College Funds by Nearly 90% @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

A federal court recently halted executive branch layoffs, holding they represented an impermissible effort to bypass congressional authorization. Suzanne Summerlin analyzes where the federal employment litigation stands – and what likely comes next: #unions www.justsecurity.org/114005/feder...

Yes, this is a real video, not AI of Sen. Joni Ernst “apologizing” after telling a constituent who warned Medicaid cuts would cost lives, “Well, we’re all going to die.” Unbelievable.

NEW: DOGE Is Busier Than Ever—and Trump Says Elon Musk Is 'Really Not Leaving' This week, a bunch of us chatted with feds to get a sense of how Musk's "departure" would influence DOGE operations. The answer? It's not. www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

Agreed.

That's effed up.

New details about the extent of the Trump administration’s stonewalling in the case of the mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia were revealed in a court filing Thursday. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The amount of money Trump is stuffing into his pockets is unprecedented and unfortunately barely noticed. But what really pisses me off is he's making hundreds of millions of dollars while taking food from kids, jobs from veterans, and health care from people with disabilities.

In today's @nationalreview.bsky.social column, I provided a reminder that corruption is actually bad:

Trump’s HHS is canceling a contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, even as the disease continues to spread through dairy cows across the U.S. Make no mistake: delaying the development of this vaccine puts people’s lives at risk.

It's depressing how lab leak gained so much traction through sheer volume. Natural origin has a couple holes in the evidence you plug with "this is how viruses have evolved every other time we've been able to see." Lab leak has more holes, plugged with incredible coincidences and wild speculation.

There's new evidence that the White House's “The MAHA Report: Making Our Children Healthy Again” relied in part on scientific research that doesn't exist.

still waiting for one (1) reporter with access to ask Musk or Trump what they think about Amy Gleason’s job performance

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...
