“Kennedy’s move appears to violate a pledge he made to Sen.

This article is an oldie but a goodie - and it's important. I've spent much of my career helping people whose medical concerns weren't being solved elsewhere. They were "medical mysteries." The suggestions here are important. wapo.st/4jY4fJb

The time has come for the judiciary to scrap the presumption of regularity. It is yet another outdated norm that we can no longer afford. Those fighting to preserve democracy already face a daunting task without judges reflexively giving Trump the benefit of the doubt.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

🇨🇦 HEY VANCOUVER! You know that charter plane from Burbank that just landed? The one carrying AC/DC and all their gear for the concert at BC Place on Tuesday? That’s one of those GlobalX planes that Trump’s goons use to ship innocent people to tropical gulags. You just gonna be polite about it? 😲

For whatever reason ICE doesn't have a Bluesky account. So I thought I'd drop this in here. Note the Free Speech crowd has now put the good folks at ICE in charge of stopping, detaining and deporting "Ideas".

Incredible: ICE just deleted this post on Twitter, but not until after it got a ton of people drawing attention to how bad it was. My person theory remains that someone at Public Affairs used a stock image and didn't read carefully before posting, but that's because I believe in Hanlon's Razor.
