3 years ago, Congress voted to honor the officers who defended our democracy on January 6th with a memorial plaque in the Capitol. Yet Republicans are ignoring the law and refusing to install it. In its absence, we are hanging replicas—because heroism deserves more than silence.

News: The American Academy of Pediatrics says it will no longer take part in the process of ACIP meetings. “We won’t lend our name or our expertise to a system that is being politicized at the expense of children’s health,” the group's president says. www.statnews.com/2025/06/25/c...

Don't just scrap the meeting, scrap the whole lot of these charlatans and quacks.

Damn right!!!

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Certified first-born, eldest daughter bringing you an update on Covid from the White House-run website and it is BLEAK 🥴 This website looks like it was made by an actual tinfoil hat wearing raw milk-drinking conspiracy loon not the federal government bc WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS??!

LA Times debunks the myths surrounding immigrants and voting, citing our research and others'. Once and for all: widespread voter fraud is imaginary.

I went to see exactly where it’s happening. The people there didn’t like that. https://slate.trib.al/S3KJuKS

They said we’d get tired of freedom. That we'd ask for a king again. Spoiler alert: We barbecue tyrants around here. #NoKingsDay 🧨🍔👑

This Marine took an oath to the Constitution 👇👇👇👇👇

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

Wag the Dog. LA style.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters surround federal detention center in Los Angeles, California as ICE raids continue.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/n...

The best Memorial Day speech is only 271 words and wasn't delivered on Memorial Day, but on November 19, 1863. Read it carefully, it's the most important speech in American military history (and maybe all of American history).

@harvard.edu is offering an array of free classes, including many that discuss government structure, power checks, & constitutional foundation. An educated populace is a super weapon against fascism & tyranny. Grab some friends & sign up today. #AltGov #AltFam #AltCitizen

It’s odd that work requirements for benefits was supported by the laziest president in history.

The world they’re trying to make rests on the assumption that there will never be a reckoning for what they’ve done. The present is bad; their imagined future is far worse.

I just made a conscious decision to carry my US passport with me in an American city to prove my citizenship. 😒

The first model is expected to be ready by the 2026 World Cup and available to the public by 2030.👇

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Every Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee just voted to throw seniors in nursing homes out onto the street.

Stefanik has unpacked the office she just packed up, settling back into the House and not at all happy about it. Mainly she seems to blame Mike Johnson, reports @anniekarni.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

My son Jimmy was born with cystic fibrosis in 1986. The man below is a hero in our lives. Francis Collins was a key figure in the discovery of the cystic fibrosis gene (CFTR) in 1989. On 60 minutes tonight. www.axios.com/2025/04/28/t...

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Trump’s appointees often seem to be acting out a made-for-television version of their jobs, @ashleyrparker.bsky.social writes. They “perform near-daily tone poems to a certain type of MAGA masculinity, publicly pantomiming their professional responsibilities.”

Many of us will find ourselves doing this type of thing more often. When knowledge institutions surrender, it's time to build alternative knowledge institutions from the ground up:

BREAKING: Pope Francis has died, Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo announced.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

The last time Americans passed massive tariffs, democrats flipped 150 congressional seats. Here's to history repeating itself.

Seen in Pittsburgh

Hartford Connecticut and the weather isn’t great either. #HANDSOFF

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

#HandsOff Hartford. Never Give Up, Never Surrender, Never Back Down.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
