Is anyone concerned about the T-Mobile-Starlink “connection”? I don’t want to support anything Leon Tusk is connected with so I’m wondering if I need to switch carriers.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

It’s been seven years since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It was a day of unimaginable loss for 17 families, an entire community, and our nation. My heart aches for Parkland, and I’ll always stand with the brave students who emerged from it in the fight to end gun violence.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat, and the Senate votes on her today. A vote to confirm her as Intelligence Director is a betrayal to our nation, and will put us all in danger. Call your Senator now and tell them Tulsi is too great a risk: 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInd...

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that they can.

California makes all the food this country eats and all the clothes this country wears in addition to paying more federal taxes than anyone else. Want to cut us off? OK. Good luck with the tariffs and trying to get cheap produce and goods from Mexico and Canada without us!

Bad Journalism: 1. Reporting TikTok may shut down Sunday w/o mentioning that the bipartisan law was a Donald Trump demand. 2. Failing to report that Trump's money man Elon Musk wants to buy the app. 3. Failing to report the Trump says he's now pro TikTok because these days "I'm a star" on the app.

An executive order cannot supersede a statute. Congress has found ByteDance a danger to national security and SCOTUS has upheld it. Trump’s job as of noon tomorrow is to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That means enforcing the ban until ByteDance sells TikTok.
