It was supposed to be a defiant return to the Capitol for Proud Boys, Oath Keepers & their far-right white extremist allies who were pardoned by Trump for their role in the insurrection. It ended w/ the arrest of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio for assaulting a protester who got in his face.

While egg prices sore, 25% USDA's National Animal Health Laboratory Network program office was fired, which coordinates the work of 58 facilities responding to the spread of bird flu. Trump is blaming Joe Biden for the spread of the #BirdFlu while he spends his time golfing and firing people!

Trans people were on the front lines at Stonewall. Don't let Trump, Musk, or a bunch of Vichy gays and TERFs tell you otherwise. My latest for Slate on what happened to the Stonewall monument website, why autocrats always destroy history, and where it can lead slate.com/news-and-pol...

RFK being an addict isn’t the issue — no one better understands drug misuse than a former user. RFK being a fanatical pro-life, queerphobic, mental illness-denying anti-vaxxer, ‘nutrition huckster’ and conspiracy theorist is the issue. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... @annamerlan.bsky.social

I do find RFK Jr's addiction relevant in one infuriating way: he describes his heroin use as self-medication for ADHD and yet, rather than recognizing this holds lessons for drug policy and mental health care / medication access, he believes all paths except his current one should be illegal.

Watch this to understand WHY Elon and his minions are breaking the US government. It seems outlandish but it’s happening. They’ve been talking about it for years. Go search “Network State” and be prepared for an anxiety attack. Thanks @gilduran.com. I wish more journos would cover this.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Jack Posobiec on an official overseas trip. Posobiec's 2024 book, "Unhumans," uses genocidal language to stoke terror and hatred of Democrats. (They are the "unhumans.") I read the book. Here's what you need to know: www.thenerdreich.com/unhumans-jd-...

I spent some time reading Elon’s tweets this morning (one of my least favorite activities) and it’s hard to overstate how much he and his allies have constructed an alternate reality for their audience to believe in. In their world, Elon is a superhero fighting government fraud, like fanfiction

As DOGE began infiltrating government agencies and targeting federal staff for termination, I started interviewing tech workers on the front lines. With the mass layoffs unfolding today, and with their permission, I'm sharing their stories. This is what it's been like to endure Musk's campaign.
