We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

U.S. health care might be a mess and we could all benefit from better access to affordable produce, but "wellness farms" are not the answer.

"Behind the seemingly scatter-shot opening acts of his second administration, legal analysts see a common goal: to test a once-fringe legal theory which asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch." --Jacob Knutson

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

I’m trying hard to keep it to actionable items in this area because my worst fears are not helpful, so: wear a mask. A well fitting N95, and make sure your kids are also masking, particularly if they are in school. School is going to be a main vector, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

Steve Martin says Maya & Martin Short now have Covid. Without masks and PCR tests, I feared #SNL50 (concert/show/parties) could be an inevitable supers preader. Loved Mulaney's musical & Eddie/Black Jeopardy, but was furious that they thought willfully endangering everyone's health was hilarious.

I'm digging down details on a few stories, but I'm very interested in hearing from any federal employees or contractors: * who are just seeing DOGE folks coming into your agencies now * about what has happened in the wake of a DOGE bomb: rehires, canceled programs, big changes, etc. Signal: crg.32

At this point, journalists have to seriously consider not using Twitter anymore, in my opinion. (I stopped tweeting in November, for what it's worth.) I get why many are still over there -- but we all have to question why we are helping a platform that actively demonizes and censors us.

Garcia: The fact that the Trump DOJ now wants to silence members of Congress because we’re actually willing to take on Elon Musk is quite dangerous. It’s incredibly disturbing. But we’re not going to be silenced. We’ve got to push back.
