Head of the European Union standing up for democracy and self-determination - while Putin puppets Trump & Vance move to denigrate and dismantle it, at home and abroad.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

Stunning how many people in positions of power - business, law, medicine, journalism - are denying reality & THEIR OWN EXPERTISE to comply w/the Supreme Leader 🙏🏽 @michellesingletary.bsky.social for refusing to play the fool for a fool, instead resolutely sharing her knowledge w/those who need it

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

“‘Women deserve a voice,’ Borrenpohl shouted… …the event’s emcee, Ed Bejarana, continued speaking about Borrenpohl just before she was dragged out. ‘Look at this little girl over here, everyone. Look at her,’ Bejarana said.” MAGA channeling their Supreme Leader. Refuse to accept this as normal.

To be clear: We are witnessing the dismantling of our firefighting system, leaving wild lands dangerously vulnerable to catastrophic fires. Not just on federal lands —This could weaken our mutual aid firefighting across the board. If you live near wild areas, prepare yourself and your family.

The trappings of wealth, power and protocol often cow people into silence - even when their conscience tells them something very wrong is happening. Maine's Gov Janet Mills refuses to submit to Trump's intimidation here and provides a master class in truth-telling.

Though the FDA is believed to have lost about 700 of its 18,000 employees following President Trump's mass firings, some cuts hit small teams so deeply that staff members believe the safety of some medical devices could be compromised. Here's what to know.

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

"The conflicting stances put the Trump administration in a bind, legal experts say. If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend."

Constituents worried about income inequality, Musk's seizing Americans' personal data & erratic cuts jeopardizing OR's ability to fight forest fires. Bentz's "aw-shucks" evasions make it clear: he's just warming a seat in Congress, happy to follow the Supreme Leader anywhere. #UncheckedUnbalanced

"All I know is that it was, apparently, possible to maintain a sense of facts and values — not only not to obey in advance but not to obey at all. If that was possible in the Soviet Union half a century ago, then it is certainly possible in the United States today." DO NOT OBEY, FULL STOP ✊🏽

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Something I don’t think a lot of folks realize: Many veterans and people with disabilities are caught up in these layoffs. They have longer probationary periods because they’re hired as non-competitive Schedule A employees. They have 2yr probations instead of 1.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
