I’ll say it again - when any politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

"This is what we were voting for!" From a friend in academia: >>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<< Great work.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Guaranteeing everyone high-quality, comprehensive healthcare with Medicare for All would save $650 billion per year. Instead, Republicans cut Medicare and Medicaid to save a lot less. Republicans don’t care about saving money; they care about inflicting harm.

While Trump is slashing Medicare, garnishing wages for student loans, and denying FEMA aid to states that voted for him… He’s also: • Charging $1M to join Mar-a-Lago • Hosting $1M-a-plate crypto dinners • Pocketing $394M from his meme coin • Turning his golf clubs into luxury pay-to-play scams

youtu.be/j1CVB-6CdmE Excellent demonstration of the Republicans not giving two shits about the American people, by focusing on a procedural “error” rather than the substance of Frost’s statement. Of course, they passed this shit bill anyway. Keep your eyes on Frost. I’m incredibly impressed.

FEMA’s new acting chief just scrapped the agency’s strategic plan—the one staff called its “organizational backbone.” No replacement. No clear direction. And hurricane season starts in less than two weeks. But that’s not all…. (1/2) www.cbsnews.com/news/fema-re...

Project 2025 laid out the plan for NOAA and FEMA, but folks voted for him anyway. So now that Trump has gutted both agencies. You won’t know it’s coming, and to add insult to serious injury, when it tears through your community and state, FEMA may not show up to help.

Another quote from the “MAHA Report”: “Many vaccines on the CDC's childhood schedule involved small participant groups, had no inert placebo-controlled trials, and had limited safety monitoring…” This is just a flat-out lie, which is why no references were provided for this statement.

Just a perfect sign of Schumer's incompetence. As the OP notes, there's no need to do this. The law is already on Democrats' side. And when this bill inevitably fails in a GOP-led Congress, it will then seem to many like the Qatari gift is perfectly legal. Congress didn't outlaw it, right?

What an odd, telling lie. Prompted to validate conspiracy theories, which he can't because they're made up, Patel says Trump authorized the Nat. Guard on Jan. 6. But as the Jan. 6 Committee highlighted, the order came from SecDef in consultation with VP. Trump refused, enjoying the violence on TV.
