Artemisia Gentileschi joined her father in London to paint 9 canvases for the ceiling of the Queen's House, Greenwich, now in Marlborough House, though her contribution is often dismissed. (From the new book 'The Art of Looking Up') #WomensArt

JUST IN: Judge Chutkan just ruled Elon Musk and DOGE have ZERO legal authority, because he is not a Senate-confirmed official, and DOGE was never authorized by Congress… Now a new lawsuit to end DOGE and reverse their actions can move forward. Great…huge news! Enjoy. 😎✨

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

MUST WATCH: They didn’t just burn Tulsa — they burned proof. Black wealth. Black futures. Gone. And now they’re banning books so you never learn it happened. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they’re scared of. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

BREAKING: We’re suing Arizona to strike down abortion restrictions that violate the state’s new constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2024.

I am increasingly convinced these masked "ICE Agents" are bounty hunters being paid per person they kidnap and turn in.

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

When our reality has less to do with our shared experiences and facts, and more to do with the prejudices of a single (warped) mind, we all suffer.

Remember how they gaslit us with the so-called Obama death panels? Now they're real, and they're the GOP's death panels.

Gutting Medicaid will close more rural hospitals. Trinity, TX voted 83% for Trump in 2024. If you live there—or anywhere—please do your homework next time. Republicans have never actually helped working people. Not once. It’s all talk! Health Care Cuts Kill‼️

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

Judge rules Trump's South Sudan deportations violate court order

The courts just stopped Trump from dismantling the Dept. of Education. Newsflash: you don’t get to gut public education without Congress. Thousands of workers? Saved. Public education? Protected. Dictatorship? Denied.

The house has passed a ban on coverage of gender care for all ages under Medicaid, CHIP and ACA plans. I don't know what to say to anyone this morning other than that the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to lose access to the care they need to stay alive deserve better than silence.

Given the chaotic situation with federal health websites, it's important to know which independent sources of medical info are reliable. This article describes five websites run by independent organization that have accurate, easy-to-understand information. Gift link.

There it is. 5.13% on the 30yr. An 18-year high. 🇺🇸 @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Republican lawmaker who owns a gun shop worth millions of dollars says he “asked” for the silencer tax break in Trump’s tax bill, clarifies he won even more new tax breaks for silencers www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Overnight markups in every major committee, numerous back room deals, a 1 AM rules committee hearing a full day before text was released, no official score, and now midnight floor debate two hours after they released the final text of an 1,100-page bill, with final passage coming at 4 am. My God

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

To all the yachts bought by billionaires with money taken from poor people with cancer, I am calling on orcas to do your job.

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are shamefully planning to slash Medicaid in the middle of the night. Americans are here with a clear demand: HANDS OFF MEDICAID!

How can I use Tapper’s book and Biden’s diagnosis to make myself look magnanimous and circumspect while also being a lunatic stepping on my own dick?
