RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

When a @reuters.com drone flew over the Bluebonnet Detention Facility in Texas—where Venezuelans at the center of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling are held—detainees used their bodies to form a message: SOS www.reuters.com/world/americ...

SCOOP: HHS has been gutted leaving critical health systems in danger of collapsing overnight. And no one's in charge: “Those in charge are AWOL. I’m doing nothing productive. This ship has no captain whatsoever, and I’m playing in the band while the Titanic sinks.” www.wired.com/story/depart...

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Hannah Arendt from her grave: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is hugely horrifying.

I was having dark doubts about what the Hands Off rallies actually accomplished. Jamie made me feel better.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

The BEST sign ever!! Tune stuck in my head now!! Thank you @maddow.msnbc.com for airing this!

The Fourth Circuit is famously succinct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s the birthday of Billie Holiday, a survivor of abuse & an enemy of the state who was targeted by the FBI through her use of narcotics for bringing lynching to light, & died handcuffed to her hospital bed.

This seems like a bad idea

The whole point is to ruin farms…a fire sale on farmland that can be sold to corporate farms who can pollute the water and air with impunity. There will be no one left in these communities to demand these corporations be regulated or pay taxes.

Bill Burr is a national treasure 🎯! "You journalists need to get your balls back"

Two of FDA’s top cancer regulators to depart, heightening worries about drug reviews www.statnews.com/2025/03/27/f... via @statnews.com

Clearly they meant to invite “Jeff Goldblum” to the Houthi Group Chat…

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

"It's so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with the federal government," sneered the woman to the people who elected her to be their voice in the federal government.

I wrote about the Tampa Bay Young Republicans inviting Andrew Tate to speak and the relationship between rape and the authoritarian right. Read at @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/guys-win-and...

🚨NEW: This is horrific. Musk & DOGE closed the specialist unit at Yale tracking down Ukrainian children kidnapped & stolen by Russia. HOWEVER, it now emerges the entire database may have been DELETED, destroying years of research needed to find missing children. If so, there should be arrests.

A simple, one-paragraph summary of 21st century Democratic Party

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Does anyone know when the CR vote is happening?

Indeed.

hell has finally frozen over

Musk is an absolutely depraved and evil man. Defending Stalin, Hitler, and Mao in order to justify firing VA nurses and park rangers? How does one come to hate civil servants so much? Insane, and dangerous.

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

The president is a Nostradamus!! Throwback to 8/5/24

The US government is supporting money laundering and fraud. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/06/t...

Got any plans for next Friday? Cancel them and do this instead, we need you. ❤️🇺🇸

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

holy crap .... Another Town Hall(s) Goes Off the Rails – Oregon 2nd District Edition talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/anoth...

Overflow angry crowd for town hall with Glenn Grothman in Oshkosh this morning ... www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

NY law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is enthusiastically joining Donald Trump's effort to undermine the justice system. It’s sad to see a firm clients have long turned to for counsel on how to comply with the law rendering itself into an instrument for promoting lawlessness, I diacuss in PN.
