We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part. Particularly notable right now: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Just stunning at how quickly Greece has transformed it's energy mix. In a decade, coal has been pretty much driven out from 50% to 6% More to come as solar expands 👍 #energysky

Some say that Trump has changed the norms of American politics forever. But the truth is, when Democrats return to power, the press will go back to freaking out about the debt and Senate parliamentarian.

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

Trump and RFK Jr. say today's kids are "the sickest generation in American history." Is that just a feeling? Here are some facts: About 46% of children born in the U.S. in 1800 did not live to see their 5th birthday. In 1900, the figure was 24%. Now it's under 1%.

Oh now he tells y’all?? After spreading lies and conspiracy theories, RFK Jr. says don’t listen to his advice—as head of HHS. Sir, we already knew. We were just waiting on you to admit you’re unqualified.
