‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Dear radical leftist heroes, I'm just 340 subscribers away from hitting 134,000 tonight. Help me cross the line and piss off exactly the right people: www.thegodpodcast.com/subscribe

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Exactly.

Love Tim Walz.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

He wasn’t just censored. They altered his responses to NYT questions on his publication Egregious. www.cnn.com/2025/04/17/h...

There are so many ambitious Democratic lawmakers who apparently don't understand how fast their star would rise with tangible, direct actions. Before this week, Sen. Van Hollen was largely known only to Maryland voters and professional political circles. Now, the country knows his name. That fast.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

If you’re wondering why, as I have been, here’s the answer. From Ben Meiselas. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations: Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines. Milbank can challenge clean air rules. Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water. Skadden is perfect to break the unions. Shameful all.

CNBC's @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social makes a rare and bold (and likely spot-on) observation about the real potential that Trump, his administration and/or elected officials participated in insider trading just prior to Trump's disastrous "Liberation Day" tariffs announcement. #CORRUPTION

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

He's wiping out your life savings, destroying the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid upon which you were promised you could depend, ending the medical research that would protect and prolong your life and that of your families & gutting your liberties...and he doesn't care about any of it.

I know a lot of Trumpers who will never change their mind about the orange one, but I also know they hate Musk. Start there…

Sign of the day…

Love seeing all the people who care. Big cities are amazing, but this bravery is what makes my heart burst.

Brutal WSJ cover

The Germans are seeing all of this. 🇺🇸

This. ⬇️

RAND PAUL: “.. When McKinley most famously put tariffs on in 1890, [the GOP] lost 50 percent of their seats in the next election. When [Smoot and Hawley] put on their tariff in the early 1930s, we lost the House and the Senate for 60 years.” @washingtonpost.com t.co/ONtPfv9On2

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🇺🇸 😕 www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/new...

It sure looks like they’re going all in on the “the executive branch can ignore court orders if it thinks the court lacks jurisdiction” thing

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

We are very far over the cliff here, folks

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

The worst news of the week. "The U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon, a veteran lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“As you watch your retirement savings plummet -- remember that Republicans in Congress could stop all of Trump's insane tariff taxes with a single vote. And they're choosing not to.”— Tristan Snell #BlueSky #MedSky

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities. Tell Congress to protect library funding: bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries #ForOurLibraries

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

Never in my decade of filing FOIA requests have I gotten a response like this. Customs and Border Protection denies my request, saying "Due to law enforcement sensitivities we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records." No exemption cited, no name of who wrote this.

This is why I keep saying progressives: leftists should be invading these town halls not to disrupt but to talk to the republicans who get it and try and bring them out of the fever dream into the light. We have a massive opportunity right now to remake the country in our image and many will follow.

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Up against the richest man in the world spending more than anyone's ever spent in a judicial race, Susan Crawford never wavered. Never cowered. Kept fighting. A lesson, there.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Says the guy who spent millions to elect a judge that will soon be the deciding vote on a case involving Tesla’s ability to sell cars in the state.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

These are scientists, physicians, and science educators using their voices in their times when truth and reason are under assault. I urge you to follow all. I just did a major update. I will continue to do so. go.bsky.app/14W5Rdk

RIP to the U.S. Institute of Peace — nearly all staff members have been fired.

used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou
