RFK Jr justifies firing scientists on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee due to “conflicts of interest.” Yet RFK Jr made almost $100K a year from anti-vax lawsuits and almost $90K a month from his anti-vax nonprofit. The person with the biggest conflict of interest at HHS is the one leading it.

Headed to my daughters ball tournament; I’m glad my wife is driving. I fear I might have pulled the steering wheel out when I learned of this: ABC has fired Terry Moran over the Stephen Miller comment. ABC is not a friend of democracy.

Thanks to Gov. Shapiro’s leadership, Amazon is investing $20B—the largest private investment in state history—to create 1,250+ good-paying tech jobs & thousands more in construction. PA is proving we can build a future where innovation & middle-class jobs thrive. shorturl.at/NkrdA

The P#AHouse just passed HB1018 — extending the requirement for American-made steel to all taxpayer-funded projects, even private ones using public dollars. “This is one way to bring back good-paying, family-sustaining jobs.” — Rep. Frank Burns buff.ly/7mkjMkx

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Dave Voye, the county’s elections division manager, told the board that Democrats saw a nearly 35% voter turnout, while Republican turnout was almost 20%.

I have never lived in LA, but I had family there for over 3 decades.....the pathetic TACO Cheeto really picked a fight with the WRONG city. Don't fuk with LA.

They’re arresting the wrong people. The criminals are in the White House.

"The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Peaceful protest falls under the umbrella of freedom of assembly and expression. "

Julie and Marla fought for decades just to be seen, to marry, to live freely. Now their rights—and all of ours—are under attack again. As Rep. Smith-Wade-El says, this is part of a broader assault on working people and civil rights. We must fight back.

Hillary Clinton showed why experience matters. With wit, depth, and clarity, she connected global conflict to kitchen-table economics—and reminded us why smart diplomacy and defense matter. Leadership isn’t chest-thumping. It’s knowing what’s at stake. buff.ly/ppjfukP

John Fetterman joined Republicans in attacking the people of Los Angeles. He can't be bothered to do his job, but he can stand with the GOP against the people of Los Angeles. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Every danger that mental healthcare professionals and experts on authoritarianism predicted and warned about is coming to fruition because we were right about Trump’s malignant narcissism, including the cabal of same spectrum enablers who are helping him obtain power and control.

"ABC claims it is motivated by the values of objectivity and impartiality. But what about the value of independence — or, for that matter, the value of truth?"

Matriarchal values won’t fix everything overnight. But they give us a path toward peace, respect, and justice — no matter who sits in the White House.

These hotels asked ICE to leave

This.

So let me get this straight. The guy who came closest to a successful insurrection, is now claiming that what happened in LA is an insurrection. Yeah, I’m pretty sure what is happening in LA doesn’t meet the bar for an insurrection. But Jan 6 did. See you at the No Kings march in St Pete Saturday

No one’s perfect—but in a moment when fascism is knocking, Gov. Gavin Newsom is doing the right thing. He’s standing up to authoritarian threats and defending our rights when it matters most. That kind of courage is rare—and desperately needed right now.

"During Trump's first term, California sued the federal government more than 120 times over environmental regulations, immigration, health care and other issues. Trump lost about two-thirds of the cases." And they're back at it, fortunately! Thank you, @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov #Winning #CA

Israeli forces are accused of illegally seizing the Madleen in international waters and abducting its dozen civilian passengers, including activist Greta Thunberg.

In our conversation, we unpacked how he ended up in that group chat, the fallout that followed, and what it’s been like covering Donald Trump during his second term compared to the first. #WEARETHEMEDIA

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I've tried to work with him. You can't work with Donald Trump. You can only work FOR him. And I will not - I refuse - to work for Donald Trump."

Angeles, stay peaceful. Trump is trying to incite violence to justify martial law so he can kill the midterms that the GOP is certain to lose. Be Ghandi. Be MLK.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Helping build the Illinois Holocaust Museum taught me the challenges our generation faces to stand up for tolerance and against bigotry and hatred. That's our mission. As Governor, I'll continue to stand up and speak out against antisemitism and authoritarianism.

RFK Jr. continues his campaign to ensure diseases will run rampant in America. This is not my America any more — we need to work to get sanity back in our government. www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

Citizens protesting the ICE raids in Los Angeles are DANCING Yet Donald Trump labeled them “insurrectionists” and is sending 700 Marines-on top of the 2,000 National Guard troops-to the city This is dangerous, almost certainly illegal and by all accounts completely unnecessary Trump is a fascist

More of this every damn day from every damn member of Congress!!! #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory
