So Florida’s surgeon general says the state will work to end all vaccine mandates, including those required for children to attend school. This will make Florida the first state to undo its vaccine mandate program. Should do wonders at keeping the crowds down at Disney World. #vaccines #health

It’s hard to not numb yourself to the news. When every day is norm breaking, none of them are. but this — I’ve never seen anything quite like it. When you think of how devastating fires have been for the US in 2025 alone… I’m at a loss.

O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS – including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.
I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
Call me a crackpot, but I have a hard time believing Giuliani helped ANYONE on the side of the road. This feels staged, all the way down to the car stereo playing the piano solo at the end of "Layla". Wait, what?

Dumb!!
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
I grew up during a time when the press would have demanded that the White House release the President's medical records and ask why no one has seen him for four days.

China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

A federal grand jury has declined to indict another person arrested as part of President Trump's D.C. crime surge. This was the only case we know of in which the National Guard participated in an arrest. After the grand jury declined to return an indictment, DOJ moved to dismiss the case.
Turns out when you treat teachers well, invest in students, and focus on improving schools, you get real results. Illinois now ranks third in the nation for our education system for a reason.

Trump wasn't seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn't seen today. He has no public events scheduled this weekend. Trump hasn't been seen in public since Weds, and it's unclear if he'll be seen in public until Tues. That's pretty damn weird.
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains

After months of pushing out career government officials and Democratic holdovers, President Trump is starting to turn on some of his own picks.
Breaking news: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from rapidly deporting undocumented immigrants detained away from the border without a court hearing, a setback for its mass deportation agenda.
There is no party platform anymore. Just the whims of a madman and the agenda of his handlers.

The military is not a police force, and should never be deployed in American communities against their will. That the President doesn't understand this (or simply doesn't care) shows just how grossly unfit for office he is.

1. The president is cheating. His tariffs are pushing up the price of everything, which means inflation remains high, which means interest rates remain high. But instead of rethinking a ruinous national sales tax, which is what tariffs are, he’s bullying those who set interest rates.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
