Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

“act of love” in the face of “hate,” Thank you @andybeshearky.bsky.social

“In fact, relying on vitamin A instead of the vaccine is not only dangerous and ineffective, but it puts children at serious risk,” Sue Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said [...]. “Taking too much vitamin A can cause serious health problems, including liver damage.”

apnews.com/article/trum... Trump executive order on Smithsonian targets funding to programs with 'improper ideology' Guess what he’s likely to find ‘improper ideology’?

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

The ABA and more than 60 other bar associations join to “reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways.”

Efficiency run amok…

History is written by the victors - in this case, the people who didn't die. Don't let the folks who shrug at a million dead Americans tell you what happened over the last five years.

Trump claims the law firms are saying "where do I sign, where do I sign." To which I say: Pound sand. We will see you in court.

I dunno. Sure seems like we had a lot more competent people in control when we had DEI.

The legal fight could have far-reaching implications for the media and artificial intelligence industries. By @bobbyallyn.bsky.social

JUST IN: Judge Howell has rejected the Trump administration's motion to disqualify her from the Perkins Coie matter, calling the attack "ad hominem" and an effort to distract from its own flawed legal arguments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Old F-18 fighter pilot here with 80+ combat missions - launch times on a strike mission ARE ABSOLUTELY CLASSIFIED.

So, which is it? If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained. And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

Let it begin.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., has dissolved its Social Impact division, which partnered with local organizations to bring in diverse artists and audiences.

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.

JUST IN: The court said that ghost guns, which are virtually untraceable weapons that require assembly, are considered "firearms" and subject to ATF regulation.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court upholds Biden rule requiring serial numbers and background checks for nearly untraceable ghost gun kits.

WATCH LIVE: NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger testify before House subcommittee amid calls to defund their organizations

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Read it. And remember what they said yesterday and Monday: no war plans; not classified; no operational details. What a disgrace.

Gotta love the random judicial assignment fairy 🧚

US District court halts the destruction of Radio Free Europe about.rferl.org/article/us-d...

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A U.S. House subcommittee led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has called the chief executives of the nation's two largest public broadcasters to Capitol Hill to testify on Wednesday, with an eye to wiping out the federal funding their institutions receive.

Overturning Roe was never just about sending abortion back to the states, Democracy Docket contributor @susanrinkunas.com writes.

The President does not have the constitutional or statutory authority to dictate the content of voter registration forms. This EO is an incredibly dangerous power grab. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

BREAKING: A federal judge has issued a restraining order against Kari Lake and the Trump administration barring the cancelation of funding for Radio Free Europe. The decision to terminate, the judge says, appears to violate the law/congressional intent. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

is that bad? Seems bad

New: National Security Adviser Mike Waltz says he has never met and never communicated with Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, who was added to the Signal chat he reportedly created

New: Asked whether it would be fine to release all the messages in the Signal chat since he says they are not classified, Trump demurs and tells me: “I'd have to ask the military about that, because, you know, maybe you wouldn't want that. I don't know.”

Huge if true

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Here's the thing: there is a higher level of fuckup imaginable.

Hillary Clinton enters the chat…

Arrogant. Amateurish. Lacking in situational awareness. A huge security breach that opens operations to foreign actors and puts our military at risk. A staggering story. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is very sad. She resigned two months ago when Trump took office. Her death is being investigated. She was only 43 years old. May she rest in peace. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

This is how law firms should do it.

There will be many people who say, "we did not know." That is a lie. What they really ought to say is, "we did not listen."

Statement from the family of the late Medgar Evers.

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.
