Zohran’s campaign was laser-focused on affordability. But take a closer look at the policy proposals and nearly all of them do double duty, targeting both cost of living crisis and climate crisis in one fell swoop. This is “green abundance for the many” @batul.bsky.social @jacobinmag.bsky.social

Another day testing the limits of resilience. The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels. Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels. The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.

I concur and have been complaining about this for a while, especially every time the NYT refers to him as a "vaccine skeptic." The search for neutral language undermines the truth and gives a false impression. No, he's a vaccine opponent. A vaccine foe. An anti-vaccine advocate. Pick any of these.

It's way too early to claim that the Iran airstrikes were a smashing success. And it's also too early to consider as definitive the early reports suggesting limited effectiveness. It takes time, and that's just the way it is. NEW from @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/first-repo...

Translation: We’re gonna make shit up, blast it out fast, and by the time the press catches on, it won’t matter. The lie will be everywhere, swallowed and weaponized by the right, locked in before the truth even gets a chance.

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

There's a big difference between "total obliteration" and just setting Iran's nuclear program back six or seven months. It's clear that the American President trusts the Israelis more than he does the American intelligence community.

Starting July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park will shut its doors to the public. Only those with “legitimate business” can enter. A federal records facility—closed to the very public it’s supposed to serve? This should raise eyebrows. It smells BAD.

The Supreme Court's decision to greenlight the Trump administration's push to deport immigrants to far-flung, dangerous locations without due process, where they face the possibility of torture and death, is not only cruel—it encourages the government to defy lower court orders.

This should be bigger story. Connect the dots… 📌 Rep Khanna asked Defense Sec Hegseth if the Pentagon would obey a federal court order. Hegseth refused to answer. 📌 DOJ whistleblower says officials told staff to ignore judges and deport people anyway. There’s a coordinated plan to defy the courts

#ResistanceUnited Let's have a round of applause for Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough. She's washed some of the ugliness out of the Big Ugly Bill: kneecapping the judiciary, killing the CFPB, auctioning off federal land, and more. It's still big and ugly, but we need some wins right now.

Please please please Call or write your senators and tell them to vote no on the judicial appointment up Emil Bove tomorrow. A whistle blower has shown him to be unequivocally on the side of trumps agenda at the expense of the law. He has no business being a judge. It’s explained here:

Look, Republicans are trying all sorts of tricks to pretend their billionaire tax giveaway doesn't blow up the deficit. The fact is, their bill would add $4.2T to the deficit over 10 years—even AFTER the cuts they made to kick 16M off their health care. This bill is a disaster.

There is no press outlet of any size, in any medium, that would offer this kind of coverage to a Democratic president, no matter the circumstances. There is a massive, explicit agitprop operation on the right, devoted to the power of the conservative faction, & there is no analogue on the left.

We already knew that Emil Bove was unfit to serve as a federal judge. Now we see additional confirmation of that fact. How can we trust someone with such contempt of the law to be a fair arbiter of the law?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
