Good discussion between Reshma Saujani and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, in which she talks about what led to the viral awkwardness of her recent Oval Office meeting.

1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina But that claim is false We have receipts

The White House is demanding the sort of racial quota system in hiring and admissions that only existed in conservatives’ minds, but for conservatives.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

SCOOP: HHS has been gutted leaving critical health systems in danger of collapsing overnight. And no one's in charge: “Those in charge are AWOL. I’m doing nothing productive. This ship has no captain whatsoever, and I’m playing in the band while the Titanic sinks.” www.wired.com/story/depart...

the weak weenies of the Trump admin are suggesting there’s nothing they can do to facilitate Mr Abrego Garcia’s return. That’s a lie. Find the masculine energy you’ve been bragging about. You say you’re strong, drive hard bargains, successfully make great deals & masterfully negotiate. So do it.

President Obama condemns Trump’s $2.3bn Harvard funding freeze as ‘unlawful and ham-handed.’ In some of his most vocal criticism of the current administration, the former president says move is ‘an attempt to stifle academic freedom’ #MomSky #Voices4Victory www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

When will someone point out that the President of the U.S. claiming he has no power over the president of fucking El Salvador looks weak. There's nothing Trump and his followers respect less than "weak." Might be the only message that would work on him. (I don't doubt it's been said. Say it more.)

Interesting piece:

The behavior described is classic extreme narcissism:

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

3 facts that should drive the news: 1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud. 2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities. 3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

On the first night of Passover, some Nazi set Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro‘s house on fire… while he and his family were sleeping inside. 😨 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

There are more kids in Texas with Measles that Trans athletes in the entire United States.
