An economic slump, an immigration crisis and the lifting of a security blanket provided for decades by the U.S. are issues on the minds of German voters. The far-right AfD is polling in second place.

Why are people drawn to RFK's false promises? Why do they have so little trust in medical institutions and why are they willing, even eager, to see them dismantled? We've enforced desperation on millions of now very manipulable people––and we're all now paying for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CxG...

FEWS NET, the U.S. early warning system for famine, shut down after the foreign aid freeze. What are the consequences? And why does the U.S. has a famine early warning system in the first place?

💥 Judge slams Trump's threats against corporations' DEI initiatives: "as the Supreme Court has made clear time and time again, the government cannot rely on the 'threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion' to suppress disfavored speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Judge Trevor McFadden has called a 3pm hearing Monday on the AP’s motion for a restraining order against the Trump White House over its handling of the press.

The eggs are nice, but what's really maddening about this is that vaccinated poultry would help drive herd immunity and spare wild birds Whole flocks of variously at risk birds spread it, then get taken out because their ranges happen to overlap poultry operations. www.newsweek.com/why-us-not-v...

The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

Our military is not the personal army of the President, and senior military officers serve our country not one man. This is very alarming.

Officials at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque said security forces responded to a shooting near one of the entrances to the base at about 2 a.m. One airman died at the scene, and the other was taken to a hospital and later discharged. More: www.stripes.com/branches/air...

The tech titan and President Trump say they will avoid any conflicts of interest, but it's difficult for the public to verify that.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

Proud to display this plaque from the US Army in my Senate office. It’s a reminder of the sacrifices made by those in uniform and why we must always have their backs.

In an age of misinformation, finding reliable sources is crucial. And that's why I turn to The Big Picture.

I’ve been saying for almost a decade now that trump was recruited when he went to Moscow in 1987. He was $10 billion in debt at the time. An easy target. Over the next few years, his debts magically disappeared. Not coincidence. It was a plan. The plan has now come to fruition. Know the enemy.

Make it make sense! 🤦🏻‍♀️

While Trump is busy making problems worse, trampling our laws, and quoting dictators, Senate Republicans are turning a blind eye and—no they aren’t focused on the price of eggs—they're SPRINTING to pass tax cuts for billionaires.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

📌Happy birthday, George Washington. You couldn't believe this if you tried ...

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

A senseless shooting at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York—my hometown. A place of healing turned into a tragedy. My family grieves for the family of the heroic West York Borough Police Officer Andrew Duarte who put his life on the line to protect others.

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...
