There is no specific Constitutional prohibition against allowing a Russian dictator to massacre Ukrainian civilians. So it’s hard to see why liberals are so upset about what Trump is doing right now by Jonathan Turley

Interesting.

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Again! A commercial raising awareness about breast cancer when NIH funding is being destroyed is so damn disturbing.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Pete Hegseth left his Venmo on public. @lukewgoldstein.bsky.social and @drboguslaw.bsky.social looked at his transactions and found a lot of elite DC insiders with major financial stakes before the Pentagon: prospect.org/politics/202...

"I think that there's no doubt about the seriousness of the problem we've got. We have a cancer within--close to the presidency, that's growing. It's growing daily. It's compounding. It grows geometrically now, because it compounds itself."--John Dean, March 21, 1973

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare.

Hello? Is anybody listening?!

A prince among men.

Important follow-up on my pinned report and my recent post about the takeover at OPM: The Washington Post has confirmed the claims below. There is indeed a takeover of the federal government happening that is being coordinated by people outside the government who have gotten access to U.S. servers.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

People are seeking books to teach their kids about diversity & belonging. What I hear: They're looking for books from a plethora of perspectives! Here are a few books, you & your kids may already be reading them ☺️ (🧵 1/4)

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...
