RFK Jr. fired all of the experts at CDC's vaccine advisory committee. He installed 8 unvetted people, including anti-vaxxers who should have ZERO role in deciding which vaccines insurance should cover. The committee's next meeting must be postponed.

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I know a ton of people have made this point but imagine being the leader of one of the nation’s most prominent pro-Jewish organization and it this particular moment in U.S. history, you’re doing THIS, instead of spending night and day standing against the dictator wannabe rounding up families

"The Trump administration has suspended foreign aid to Congo and the resettlement of [Congo] refugees ... thus abandoning countless victims of the very same real-life humanitarian catastrophe that he’s cherry-picking imagery from to portray an atrocity against whites that isn’t actually happening.”

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

Disgusting, naked, open blatant corruption. Whether it is crypto, Trump Media stock, real estate developments, licensing deals or jets, foreign governments continue to buy our presidency by bribing our criminal president.

That there were people cheering on the DOGE cuts because they thought the government would send them a $500 check from all the money saved firing scientists and park rangers is quite sad to me.

ICE just staged a big production to try to arrest a guy who posted the names and photos of agents to telephone polls, likely on the theory that doing so was criminal incitement.

The president is playing videos at his political rallies of people getting their heads shaved at what is effectively a concentration camp. He’s sending people to that camp with no due process, and 9 in 10 have no criminal record. The rallies are eating it up. Forget “can.” It is happening here.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off

Once again, in a functioning democracy -- and more to the point, with a media working as it should! -- this would be a huge, epic, what-the-fuck scandal.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Decided to check out how "dominant" that trans fencer was, and... she came in 24th place (out of 39) in this tournament. It's almost like this isn't about "fairness" at all.

Yes, the information in the Signal group chat was classified. Yes, this could have put our servicemembers in harm’s way. No, Hegseth and Waltz have not learned their lesson. And no, they are not capable of continuing to serve in their roles. They need to RESIGN.

Bluff called. Everyone on this group chat should resign or be fired. Immediately. Then they need to be put on trial. I'm calling my Senators and (sadly, MAGA) Rep and demand them to demand this.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary
