This is very, very bad in a world where politicians are making it illegal for public health departments to promote immunization (or even let people know they’re available). www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/ten-...

Liberal activist are urging Democrats to fight harder against the administration. But this is the same bad advice that led to crushing Democratic defeats in 2006 and 2008.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Supreme court declines Trump administration request to reverse District Court order reinstating Hampton Dellinger as the head of the office of special counsel. Alito and Gorsuch dissent. Can’t draw too many conclusions from it b/c of very unusual procedural posture, which may have driven decision.

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

We wanted to know what the average Black person thinks of Donald Trump. So we asked the communications director of the Houston Young Republicans, who grew up in a mixed race family in a majority white Long Island suburb.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Superb piece by my friend @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social about supporting foreign criticism of Trump's America. It's not unpatriotic of us to feel this way. It's a rejection of fascism and an endorsement of the need for freedom around the world.

I spent most days of the '10 cycle sitting on the floor of the DNC, mainly taking reports via calls on what was happening at townhalls all over the US where folks were angry. GOP members of Congress are about to go through it. It won't be the fairy tale they think it will.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
