Expanding the war. apple.news/AgKtnGCpjS16...

As I said in an interview with @npr.org in January, “Kennedy has been told…by experts in the field that his positions on vaccines are wrong and not supported by scientific evidence, and he refuses to listen. I think that that is a very dangerous position for the Secretary of HHS to have."

Norm refers to Padilla as “this man” and claims he didn’t identify himself

Duh. apple.news/ABlutvlWFSWe...

"The emphatic certainty with which Republicans approach this debate creates an asymmetry that works to their advantage. One side says 'Nirvana is right around the corner,' and the other side says 'Actually, it’s complicated.' And we all know nuance is for losers." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Warren to Bessent: "The only people who are saying publicly that it's not gonna add to the national debt are you, Donald Trump, the Republican in Congress. Do you have an independent group that has put forward numbers that disagrees with all of these conservatives groups & the Wall Street Journal?"

I know it’s hard to keep up with the constant bullshit, but this is happening as well. It is near impossible to underestimate the consequences of destroying these institutions designed to save lives. apple.news/Ab5NqXQ89RKi...

Why isn’t Texas already blue? Gerrymandering. apple.news/AXYxOoB3SSZa...

Pam Bondi: "After the October 7 anniversary, they added new drinks to the menu. One was 'Sweet Sinwar' in honor, of tribute to the leader of Hamas... You can't do that. And so we've sued them & we're gonna stop this from happening. And anywhere in the country, if you do this, we're coming after you"

This Saturday, over a thousand pro-democracy rallies are happening across the country. And in D.C.? Trump is throwing himself a $45 million birthday parade, complete with tanks, helicopters, and military fanfare.

Why would the amount of trades by congressional members spike around the time that a major economic policy is being implemented? Hmmmm. apple.news/AvbNvinLtRxu...

Trump threatens to use “heavy force” against anyone who protests his military parade this weekend, and note that he makes no exception for peaceful protesters

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.

Just a reminder that this administration’s incompetence has widespread consequences. apple.news/AAx1olZdbTo2...

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

ACLU LGBTQ Case of the Day 🏛️ In the 1950s and ’60s, we challenged police raids targeting gay establishments. In 1956, a decade before Stonewall, 87 people were arrested for being “lewd and dissolute” at a popular gay bar in Pacifica, California. The ACLU defended them in court.

Conservatives: You can’t wish away globalization. You could try to pray it away; however, if that worked, there wouldn’t be anymore school shootings, and I’d be able to dunk a basketball. So… apple.news/Ak3TOYxZGR_G...

Damnit Bobby! This guy is such a piece of shit. apple.news/AvGqZ592LQQi...

The sky has fallen to the point that we should consider ourselves flightless birds. apple.news/AuMApH65SSPW...

This is precisely correct.

Left of Center

Rand Paul: "If they're asking to borrow $5 trillion, that is the example -- $5 trillion in borrowing means they are not restraining spending. That's the ultimate summation of all these numbers."

The Trump administration has been terrorizing immigrant communities nonstop, with contempt for our civil liberties and disregard for our lives. As we the people continue to fight Trump's deportation agenda, we've laid out 3 key areas to watch.

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all. Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.
