Was complaining about [gestures broadly] in the family chat and my brother, a reliably warm, sunny person, said “you know, whenever I start to feel bad about circumstances beyond my control, I just take a moment to yell at my senator.” Then he shared this app apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

How bad is the flu right now? Can people get the bird flu? How do you get bird flu? What states have bird flu? Are measles going around? Get the answers to these questions and more in this episode of #AMAUpdate. http://spr.ly/63328LE6i8

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

That’s a hat trick!

This is how it’s done.

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

It isn’t just that they care more about restricting abortion than they do about maternal health ramifications of those policies. They literally don’t care about protecting maternal health.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The official White House account posted this.

#ProudBlue #Resist I have a feeling there are a lot of people who voted for #Felon47 who are not going to be happy with the administration’s plan to increase bank fees. Under Biden it was $5. I bet it will go back to $35 or more. Plus so many other fees could be increased. It’s about the cruelty!

These are the kinds of stories about the human costs of the Trump-Musk coup that desperately need telling right now. Local news outlets and independent journalists can do a lot of important work here, for their own communities but also for the national effort to push back against this insanity.

Musk just posted a photo on X that supposedly showed migrants with axes and knives taking over a hospital, but the photo turned out to be a screen shot from the movie Dark Knight Rises.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

"Trump administration removes flu prevention information during multiple flu outbreaks" is a very easy story to write at either the national or the local level.

🚨🚨🚨WHY AREN’T THE DEMOCRATS HAVING A PRESS CONFERENCE EVERY SINGLE DAY? Today they’re in the IRS. Today they’re in the National Archives!! I’m 80 and one woman here is 92. WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE?
