Paula White -- Trump's chief spiritual adviser -- is offering access to angels (and a Waterford Crystal Cross), for the low, low prices of $1,000. America needs to nail 95 theses to the megachurch door. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

This is my friend Pam and her husband Ron. He is a Vietnam veteran. They have both been involved in POW causes for decades. Yesterday, at a hands off rally in St Joseph, Missouri, a man drove around them in his pickup yelling at them. MAGA folks are not patriots. They never were.

It’s incredible how all the MAGA folks, who populated numerous rallies over the years, are so eager to label #handsoff as paid astroturf. It’s more than hypocrisy, it’s just a knee jerk denial of reality. On so many levels.

Man, the big huge protests in places like Boston, DC, NY, Chicago, and Minneapolis are awe-inspiring. But my heart is gonna explode looking at these crowds of people out in tiny Maine towns and super red Alabama towns. Places where 15% of the population is on the street corner with more coming!

"Elise Stefanik" at her town hall. Questions about disappearing benefits, about her "house" in the district, always guarded, never inhabited. An old man remembered early on when she'd told him she didn't care for Trump. A little boy was afraid of getting killed in school. She had no words.

Chris Murphy: "They're sitting there telling the American people that 2+2=7...those were attack plans, those were war plans, that was classified information, everybody knows it. The idea that they think they can get away with this level of gaslighting- it just strikes at the foundation of democracy"

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

1) The rate of sepsis rose more than 50% 2) they don’t break down data by race here—we need that info (generally BW’s maternal death rate is 3x that of WW, Native W is 2x) 3) they looked at hospital data. So missing greatest cause of pregnant/postpartum death: Murder. Abuse skyrockets w/pregnancy.

I'm really glad scientific community is beginning to organize against Trump's attacks--but reminder: for normies, science is cancer cures & preventing the kind of weather that will destroy your home (or at least make it uninsurable). Science, like govt, has benefits, we need to make them visible.

Elon Musk falsely accused prominent lawyer and CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen of leading a “crime family” after he discovered a woman with the same last name who worked for an organization that accepted funds from USAID. The only problem? The woman, Tamar Eisen, is of no relation to Norm Eisen.
