Retract this study — it doesn’t square with my preconceptions!

And what is Witkoff doing in a Cabinet meeting, anyway?

This is exactly what we need from all our members of Congress—SHOW UP. Thank you, Reps @gomez.house.gov , @repluzrivas.bsky.social , @ntorres35.bsky.social , and Lou Correa for showing up at the Federal Building to demand answers amid reports of inhumane conditions: no beds, no food, no water.

Now listen to this in the context of the SCOTUS’ decision. Yes, you can get a lawyer and file a habeas petition IF you can get a lawyee. But when wheels go up on the flight you are gone. And from what we’re seeing in the Garcia case this Admin will fight like hell to keep you gone.

RFK Jr is incapable of considering science. He trumpets his crank theories instead.

NEW: Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance. The Heard and McDonald Islands are known for their populations of penguins.

Listen. Just listen. This is Susan Rice, our former National Security Advisor who knows what is supposed to happen and why the likely reasons Signal-gate occurred (“lazy, reckless, and trying to evade the Presidential Records Act!”).

LOL. Really? Compare how fmr Natl Security Advisor Susan Rice explained such a conversation would normally go.

so to be absolutely clear: the black man hired for the job did it competently for four years, only to be replaced by the unqualified white guy who has careened from fuck up to fuck up think ive got that right.

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties. The Trump admin is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process. This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms — and we will push back.

This throwback clip of Kamala Harris admitting she couldn't join her family's group chat due to security concerns is going viral — yet somehow Pete Hegseth can casually text attack plans to a journalist?

Not only is Trump still championing the violent insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol Police—but just this week, President Trump speculated about compensating people who committed crimes on January 6th with YOUR taxpayer dollars!

Well, this finally happened! After working on sharks for over 20 years, I finally saw my first #whaleshark in the wild! We were heading to a dive site and we came across this juvenile male just cruising. We motored ahead and jumped in, and big fella just came right on by. Simply gorgeous 🤩.
