Kash looks like a toddler in a high chair.

Pregnancy is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19 outcomes (read: death). GOP, if you want women to have more babies, how about making it easier for women to do that without dying?

When signing up, be sure to choose the “Audit” option for the free class. You won’t get credit, but you’ll learn so many cool things about our government! Think of it as a history and civics redo. 👍

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 65 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo* of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador. *as a teen, sewing

Read my latest Substack about why you, a non-poor person, should care about impending Medicaid cuts. open.substack.com/pub/mimisabe...

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who is glad to see, in a Congress full of Republicans cowering in fear at the idea of trump's retaliation, Senators like Chris Van Hollen can still say FUCK YOU and stand up for the rule of law and due process. Well done, Senator.👏

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care. This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

Too many Americans seem to be more and more comfortable with inhumanity. Choose not to become jaded. Choose to be impressed by kindness. Choose to make a big deal about decency. Choose not to normalize fascist cruelty. Speak honestly about the evil we’re witnessing. Choose.

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

Is the felon in charge of babysitting Musk's kid now?

🦠 Measles 🦠 We reported a month ago that Texas was suppressing the number of measles cases. We can’t give specifics to protect staff, but we remain confident that the actual number of measles cases is FAR higher than the official count of 294 lab confirmed cases.

Gov. Walz, "There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA."

New primary challenge list just dropped!

Donald Trump doesn't like the world order that was established after WWII. We're talking about the world order that made the USA a superpower and prevented major war in Europe for 80 years. He doesn't like that.

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

BREAKING: Judge Alsup has ordered the reinstatement of ALL probationary employees at Veterans Affairs, DoD, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, and Energy, AND he is demanding under oath testimony from Ezell. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Facebook removed my post that shared Musk's government email address, claiming it was a privacy violation. I re-posted their removal notice, reminding them that he is a public servant and we are entitled to know his government email address. If you're still on Facebook, please share widely.

The contemptable Marco Rubio is asking UKRAINE for concessions, not Russia. Like Churchill asking Charles de Gaulle, "So which parts of France are you willing to give to nice Mr. Hitler to make him leave you alone?" I'm kidding! In no scenario is the incompetent Marco Rubio Winston Churchill.

Like the spoiled children of the rich who squander their unappreciated legacies, a vast swath of Americans are taking for granted the hard-earned freedoms and rule of law that made us a rich and powerful nation. If we are not careful we will lose our inheritance forever.

Elon (almost) crash plane

It blows my mind that there are Trump supporters who also claim that they support Ukraine. You can’t be both.

Somewhere, Jeff Bezos is angrily clicking “track shipment” to see what happened to his new editorial page.

Whenever the New York Times gives Trump style points, it reminds me of a line in Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”: “The Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.”

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
