A piece and headline designed to send me into a rage right before bedtime. Senate Democrats are, to a person, the most feckless group of Americans around.

The NIH Director continues to misunderstand (or mischaracterize) the extent to which research is being gutted. I appreciate this program officer for speaking up.

If you’re in the St. Louis area looking for a way to help out, I highly recommend Action STL. They are out again tomorrow and have opportunities for anyone who has time. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Injured DC police officer Dan Hodges on Justice Dept settlement with estate of Ashli Babbitt: “…Trump wants to pay the insurrectionists so that he'll have them on retainer for the next time he wants to influence the course of history with mass violence.”

This is diabolical: genuinely, demonic evil being perpetrated by GA state government. And that the family is financially liable so the state can extract a child from the mother. What has white America *not* done to Black mothers?! /rhetorical

Dems in Congress's fun reward for not expelling all the disqualified insurrectionists who voted to overturn the 2020 election (as the United States Constitution requires) is that Republicans in Congress are now demanding their arrest.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb.)

"CVS’ move to exit the individual insurance market comes as the Donald Trump White House and Republicans in Congress ponder cuts to health insurance benefits to pay for tax cuts for wealthy Americans." Burying the lede, imo.

Hardcoded credentials in the Signal archiving tool used by the White House is a five-alarm security dumpster fire.

Whales better receive “human rights” before GPUs.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

Can’t fully express what a nightmare scenario it is that eugenicists are creating a centralized database of people’s health info.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ANTISEMITISM

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

Worth noting that "the president decides who is alive snd who is dead" takes you about 75% of the way to mass murder

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

If it crosses the U.S. border illegally, it's our job to STOP IT. Beep beep I'm a sheep I said beep beep I'm a sheep Meow meow I'm a cow I said meow meow I'm a cow

"If the state can kidnap people from their homes and send them to a rights-free zone for the indefinite future, and the Court charged with defending the Constitution cannot manage anything more than a shrug of its shoulders, it might as well shut down for good."

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

“John Roberts and his Supreme Court are no better than the cops in Uvalde, cowering outside and waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing their job and trying to save lives.” Hot Damn, Elie Mystal: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

To me, this is the easiest layup for DC Democrats. Go to the IRS, chain yourselves there and raise the alarm about this so that USians understand what they are doing.

This writing fucking sucks. Cliche

My @nehgov.bsky.social grant “In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union” was canceled by “DOGE.” The project doesn’t support "the furtherance of the President's agenda.” Jews surviving genocide: out of step w/ the agenda of using Jews to destroy higher ed.

Cancer, measles, and now Parkinson’s will be thriving in Trump’s America.

There is no “novel legal theory” about a third term, as some reporters are parroting. It’s not legal, and the idea of seizing permanent power isn’t a “theory,” it’s just what dictators do.

JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS

if we were to track the rate at which terf demands call for an action that results in the violation of the autonomy of cis women we would realize that undermining the autonomy of cis women is a huge part of the project

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

You cannot understand the Signal story if you don't remember that Trump had a call on the proper USG channels and an intelligence analyst reviewed it and realized he needed to report a crime. That got Trump impeached. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...

This is the life and death decision-making of the Roman paterfamilias, and it's identical to the abusive: "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it!"

History isn’t just what was—it’s what we do with it. We shape #PublicPolicy by remembering & showing up. #Disability Rights didn't stop w/the ADA. Nor should we. Proud to be part of #ChangeNotCharity, a powerful follow-up to #CripCamp by @jimlebrecht.bsky.social airing 3/25 on #AmericanExperiencePBS

The Ann Wagner approach #MOpoli

Ignoring a court order on the grounds that “ah-ah-ah, the law doesn’t apply once you get to international waters!!” is absolutely sanctionable. 8th grade-ass lawyering. Completely unserious.
