Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion

We’ve already got Thom Tillis and Joni Ernst out. Susan Collins is next. Republican politicians know they’re in deep trouble and they’re torn between representing their constituents or kneeling to Trump. The constituents will win every time if they pay attention, get off the couch, and get involved

The lifetime return to college remains enormous: four years of study adds more than a million dollars to expected earnings. And that yields a funny conclusion that I like to remind my students about: It may not feel like it, but these might be the highest earning years of your career.

Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day

There was a time when this would have been a huge scandal.
Major update: As of this morning, CVS says it's decided it can offer the vax in 13 of the 16 states IF you get a prescription. Still a big new barrier for many people, but a change from its "no vaccines at all in these states" position yesterday. The three remaining absolute-nos are MA, NV and NM.
Good. She'll only be replaced with someone worse, if that's possible.
BREAKING: Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa won't seek reelection to Senate in 2026, sources say.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
My eldest came of age in the era of school shootings & EVERY nightmare she ever has involves an active shooter. She overheard me talking about the harms of smartphones & schools banning them & said… “YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR PHONES IF YOU AREN’T TAKING THEIR GUNS” So, anyway, fuck the #GOP #ItsTheGuns

Over in Iowa, GOP Rep. Ashley Hinson got hammered by the crowd over her outrageous claims (lies) about how the budget bill had improved the cost of living. In the right environment - like the one we’re witnessing now - #IA02 is potentially flippable. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Arguably the most anti-religious administration in history. Just nakedly hostile to those who wish to practice their faith.

Another excellent Democratic overperformance tonight in a very tough red Georgia district where Kamala Harris only 30% of the vote (compared to the Dem getting 40% tonight). As Charles notes, this now goes to a runoff.

If you're a Democrat looking to score an upset in ruby-red Oklahoma, run on education. Because right now education in the state is such a disaster thanks to Ryan Walters that even his fellow Republicans are running away from him as fast as they can. www.notus.org/oklahoma/edu...

Back to SCOTUS we go
SCOTUS is the one institution insulated from Trump's retribution because of their lifetime appointments. If they wanted to contain Trump, they would have. They don't want to and mostly agree with everything Trump has done. They are politicians in robes.
