GOOD NEWS - "Thank you to everyone who expressed their strong support for the Regional Climate Center program. Our funding has been restored by NOAA and the Department of Commerce." www.ncei.noaa.gov/regional/reg...

GREAT NEWS: Six men who prosecutors said took part in forcibly removing Teresa Borrenpohl from a town-hall meeting hosted by Republicans in Idaho in February are facing charges including battery and false imprisonment. Read more here: nyti.ms/4jl7F8x #ResistTrump

Insanity. Sheer insanity.

This devastating Substack post by Georgetown Law Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social ought to cause Samuel Alito discomfort whenever he sees the word “Justice” in front of his name. He doesn’t deserve what that honorific implies.

I Believed His Mother. The Incompetence Is Believable!

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

This is an elected representative, ladies and gentlemen.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

On Earth Day, let's give thanks for our New Kentucky Home. This beautiful state is a gift – let's take care of it.

The GOP is killing us! With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us' flip.it/vWQPr5

They’re both very evil and very stupid

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

History, sadly repeats itself 😞

❗️🇯🇵Japan agreed to provide satellite images to 🇺🇦Ukrainian intelligence

And here we go…👇 Some good news for a change! Enjoy. 😎✨

Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day. In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages. It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

This is a good one!🤣😂

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

National security clearances? Overrated. Now you too can stay in the loop—thanks to Pete Hegseth’s Friends & Family Plan! youtube.com/shorts/-CKXq...

🚨 BREAKING: Harvard just 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 and is suing the Trump Administration. Trump threatened to withhold billions unless they bowed down to his right-wing autocratic demands. 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗳**𝗸 𝗼𝗳𝗳. Add your name to double down and support Harvard in their fight against Trump

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch The Handmaid's Tale. Now. Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA. When a book becomes alive. Too quick. It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong. #TheHandMaidsTale #USA #Facism

Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful. Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

I always look forward to funerals too. Good times.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Turns out a notoriously sloppy drunk wasn’t the best choice for Secretary of Defense. So weird.

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

👇 AOC nails it: " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend Social Security. And we tell them who's really in charge in this country!" #MedicaidCutsKillUS

💯 this!!!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.
