It is wild to me that she left off public health!
As a human in DC right now I would get a significant boost to quality of life via a widely available COVID vaccine compared to armed men harassing my neighbors. Would call my representatives in federal government to point this out, if I had any
We have a beautiful country to save from corporate ruin. I'm honored to fight with you all! #JUNTOS!
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
“in six months sec. kennedy has undermined 60 years of vaccine preventable diseases in this country.” dr. tom frieden frmr dir of CDC let that sink in-the damage this regime has inflicted on us.

This people. This!
Calling the cops on someone he’s trying to rip off, safe in the knowledge that it bears zero risk for him personally, is exactly the kind of thing he’d do. It also explains why he would even include that anecdote in his press statement. The two things are connected and he’s not a smart man.
Wild Giuliani theory that fits his story: He does biz w/a sex worker & refuses to pay the agreed amount. Pimp shows up so Giuliani calls the cops. Pimp leaves & Giuliani makes up some BS about rescuing a woman in distress when they show up When he leaves, pimp tries to run him off the road
NEW: Trump will be making an announcement from the Oval tomorrow at 2 PM ET.
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
Something press pool could ask about
Owen Shroyer said he has parted ways with Alex Jones. The longtime co-host will no longer do his show for InfoWars because Alex said he was too negative towards Trump lately.
What the fuck was wrong with Let's Move?
this is a real @theatlantic.com headline ... All of our lives at risk but somehow they land on this. I want to know who sits in that decision room.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
UPDATE: A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children overnight, halting the effort while many of them sat on the tarmac in El Paso — and maybe have, in one case, been in the air. t.co/4QRs4oLf0G
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
That's what happens when you put a child predator in the White House. What did people expect?
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
#ProudBlue A censored Human Rights Report = a gift to dictators. The State Dept cut the truth out of its annual report. That’s not “streamlining”—that’s shielding abusers. If you can’t name atrocities, you’re complicit in them.

Mad props to the anonymous CDC-er that designed and printed these signs for the goodbye celebration of the CDC leaders we lost yesterday -- the 3Ds (Demetre, Deb, Dan). LEGENDARY.

Disabled people have been warning about this EXACT SCENARIO since 2016 and raising the alarm that if Trump installs a fascist government *this is what would happen* We very literally predicted all of this. None of it is a surprise. People just don’t listen to the disabled so you are caught off guard
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

It's funny how little drama there is here in bluesky over the Taylor Lorenz Wired piece outing a bunch of lib influencers as paid shills. Meanwhile, on Twitter and threads, those creators are completely losing their minds and going after Taylor in absurd and deeply personal ways.
DOJ dropped the case of Trump raping a 13 year old day he became president. Who made that decision and why? Seems relevant. And mighty fishy given the seeming strength of evidence
#PredatorPresident's rape case brought by a victim who was 13 when the he began raping and abusing her.
Russ Vought said he wanted civil servants “traumatically affected” and to lose the will to work. Now Rubio puts him in charge of closing out USAID. This is not reform. It is the final nail in the coffin of American generosity and America’s standing in the world.
