RFK's pledge to find "what caused the autism epidemic" in a few short months is a transparent lie, to cover a preordained conclusion. But digging deeper, it gets much worse: it's about justifying a downright sadistic assault on children's health. www.salon.com/2025/04/14/r...

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and retry him for deportation in a lawful way. That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

There's probably a tighter historical analogy. But if you're still wondering how the Holocaust happened, remember that Trump just asked for $45 billion to build camps, and we can still stop that from happening.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

Trump is engaging in a massive purge of public servants, so why does he want firms to offer them pro bono help? It will legal aid for Trump appointees for when the break the law (also, the firms are told to hire Trump admin alum). They are turning these law firms into Trump law firms.
