Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

way more Americans believe in the existence of angels than that vaccines cause autism but citing that as evidence we should spend millions studying whether angels exist is absurd. there's just as little legit scientific evidence for angels as there is for the debunked vaccine-autism link.

Several others have aptly summarized this. Republicans now get a number where they can call Elon and ask for the law to be followed for things that were cut but which they want back. So Elon is in charge of federal spending. And you can go to him hat in hand.

I really hope the Dems stick with, and ramp up the messaging on, what the gop is calling "presidential authority" because I think it's a real easy message for the public to understand "why would we agree to a deal when the other side is saying they're going to break it immediately"

They reveal themselves here with "real communities" including "tailgates, gun shows." Those are tiny GOP-leaning niche communities. They are less representative of the voting population than the "elite circles" they bemoan, which apparently means academics and LGBTQ people, not big donors.

Just a reminder that Trump’s DOJ just dropped a criminal fraud investigation into Ogles, including allegations that he used a photo of his stillborn child to raise tens of thousands of dollars for a burial garden for children that was never built. He has never accounted for that money.

Kash Patel called judges who rule against Trump “political terrorists.” Trump wants to “have a look at the judges.” Elon called for impeaching judges to “restore the rule of law.” So of course House Republicans are falling in line. Intimidation has no place in our judiciary.

Undergraduate research opportunities are incredibly valuable, both for the students and for the progress of the work. And having undergraduate research experience is a massive help for grad school admission. REU cancellations harm students’ preparedness & career prospects, and slow research progress

There are genuine questions about who is carrying out all these sweeping illegal actions within the federal government. It's not Trump (golfing continuously) or Musk (posting continuously). So it's a bunch of 20-something cybercriminals?

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.
