MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

How the F can the NY Times even ask this question in 2025? 86% of LGBTQ voters voted for Harris, up from 71% for Biden. After the hell Trump has unleashed since Jan, erasing queer from web sites, killing the suicide hotline, he's even more unpopular. Seriously? Nothing but clickbait bullshit.

🤨 Avelo really doesn't like us noticing what they're doing to migrants. First, they painted their ICE planes all-white to protect their brand. Now, their planes are changing how they park at Boeing Field to obstruct cameras that were set up specifically to observe their activities. SHAME!

1) Yes you absolutely must turn on the sound. 2) You may also want to sit down. 3) You may also want to preemptively muzzle yourself if anyone is asleep. 4) I think the unsung hero of this clip is the middle judge. Watch her expression the second time around.

This is a recount from a reporter who attended Trump’s parade. You should check it out. She describes Trump’s supporters enduring “real misery” before the parade even started. Contrast that w/the millions of us who enthusiastically endured heat and rain to protest Trump and stand up for democracy.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

First bit of polling after Trump's escalation in Los Angeles, and it is very bad for him. Here are the last three YouGov polls of Trump's job approval: 45%-49% (-4) - June 2 45%-55% (-10) - June 6 40%-53% (-13) - June 10

Los Angeles is a BIG place. For the idiots who think the whole city is on fire (it is not), please see this handy map from Craig Miller. Look for the red highlighted circle. Any Angeleno not there is perfectly safe. This escalation by Trump is for his own political purposes. PERIOD.

I’ll say it again - when any politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”
