Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Hard to make a better case that Youngkin is a MAGA lackey than he makes himself: happily sending one of his charter-school hacks up to DC to serve Trump's DOE dismantler Linda McMahon without even pretending to ask her to resign from her taxpayer-funded job here in Richmond.

Pleading with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to ask Josh Divine at his confirmation hearing tomorrow if he still believes homosexuality is morally equivalent to bestiality, or that Christians are "obligated ethically to impose their beliefs on others." I do not ask for much.

If Leonard Leo is out, who’s calling the judicial shots for Trump now? I have an answer. You’re not gonna like it. But still, the FedSoc/Trump war is a good thing because it will slow Trump’s nominations down. My latest in @thenation.com

The Republican argument for reducing Medicaid spending "relies on a series of misunderstandings and non sequiturs to obscure the obvious fact that cutting Medicaid would make poor people sicker and more likely to die," @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes:

Too many people seem to have bought into the GOP's lies about Gen Z being a hyper-conservative generation. We're not. We were Kamala Harris' best age group. Nearly 80% of us support abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. Generic ballot shows a 2:1 margin for Dems. Don't believe their lies.

US citizen apologises to migrant abducted by ICE. "I'm sorry Trump's an asshole and I'm sorry they voted for this fucking asshole." He proceeds to ask ICE "when people start fighting back then what are you going to do? are you going shoot every American?" you can hear a "yeah" in the background.

Yep, the media has been RELENTLESSLY "sanewashing" Trump for years, which is a BIG part of how he ever got elected. Oh, and the Virginia political media did the same thing with Youngkin - and now is doing it with Sears, Reid, etc. bluevirginia.us/2025/06/tues...

It’s a routine act of media cowardice to attribute facts to “critics” or “Democrats” instead of just stating them as true. This Politico story shows how GOP Medicaid cuts go far beyond “waste, fraud and abuse,” yet the sentence starts “Democrats have argued …” www.politico.com/live-updates...

30% of American jobs do not offer health benefits, and 49% of employed workers can’t afford healthcare without going into debt. Trump’s cuts to healthcare are trading American lives and prosperity for more tax breaks for billionaires.

Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA), who campaigned on banning stock trading among lawmakers, is now one of the House's "most prolific traders." Bresnahan wrote an op-ed in March 2021 "stating that if elected, he would co-sponsor legislation to ban stock trading in Congress." www.rawstory.com/2672250425/

The Republican tax bill is just an enormous cut to the health care of millions to give a tax break to a handful of the wealthiest Americans. I’ll be fighting it with everything I have got.
