A mob of Hasidic men in Brooklyn chase down a woman who came to protest Ben-Gvir. This sort of reaction has become normalized in NYC and LA, where violence against protestors has spiked enormously since October 7th. This largely isn't covered or addressed by media, despite how widespread it is.

Q: "What would have happened to you if you had shared battle plans like this when you were a pilot?" Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "Like everyone else except Pete Hegseth, evidently, I would've been court-marshaled and drummed out of the military. This is absolutely ridiculous."

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

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.

I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.

Currencies rise and fall all the time because of inflation fears, central bank moves and other factors. But economists worry that the recent drop in the dollar is so dramatic that it reflects something more ominous as Trump tries to reshape global trade: a loss of confidence in the U.S.

Am I surprised that RFK Jr. a man with literal brain damage put a guy in charge of clinical trials for vaccines in an autism study, a man who's not a doctor and was charged with practicing medicine without a license. No, I'm not surprised, do you know why, because RFK Jr. has fucking brain damage.

I don't see it being reported much, but just know that The SAVE Act would also make it impossible for the vast majority of trans people in this country to vote. If voting requires a birth certificate or passport with one's legal name (not their birth name), most trans folks can't vote.

The Republican “SAVE Act” isn’t just unnecessary (citizenship is already a voting requirement) — it would also disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens who don’t have passports or access to their birth certificate, or who recently changed their name. It’s dead on arrival in the Senate.
