RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Do Republicans really think people will buy this nonsense? They're at the point of believing their own lies to justify the cruelty.

So @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social "did not expect all of these horrible things to happen so quickly" but "maintains surprisingly close relationships with Republican senators, even doing joint media hits with one of them. And she’s the lead Democrat on a crypto bill that’s split her party." Why?

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Most accurate pollster of 2020 and 2024 finds Democrats have a 9-point lead in the generic ballot—a massive number this early in the cycle. People may not like us very much, but they HATE what Trump and the Republicans are doing to this country. Maybe the media should focus a bit more on that...

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

What do Sec of State Marco Rubio, Deputy A.G. Todd Blanche, and U.S. Agency for Global Media Sr. Adviser Kari Lake have in common? DOJ is using a SCOTUS shadow-docket ruling from April to try and get out of defending their actions on the merits in cases brought in federal district court.

Never lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy. No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.
