New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

What about this @ncdemocrats.bsky.social #NorthCarolina #FreedomofChoice #sciencematters
People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
You guys see where this is going? Right?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Imagine sitting in a multi-million dollar mansion in the Hamptons having a meltdown because the next mayor is promising to make things affordable for working families. There’s something wrong with these people.
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
ATLANTA: “The city is opening a grocery store to clear up a downtown food desert… City leaders say the market will help those in the area who have not previously had easy access to healthy food.” (cc: everyone acting like @ZohranKMamdani is crazy🤔) www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...
I did promise that Republican states that capitulate to Trump's demands to illegally gerrymander their maps will be sued. And history shows I never bluff and usually win. I also said that there are only two types of GOP officials -- proud MAGA and scared MAGA. That is true.
Agreed! Also make sure that corporate landlords can't swoop in with cash offers and build expensive housing for Airbnb use in those designated zones.
On the same day the FDA restricted access to COVID vaccines, the CDC director was sacked and top CDC scientists are resigning. And it’s barely been two weeks since an antivax conspiracy theorist fired 180 bullets at CDC headquarters. None of this is making America healthier. What a disaster.
The recently selected chair of a North Carolina county Board of Elections was charged for allegedly drugging ice cream from Dairy Queen with MDMA and Cocaine and giving them to his two grandchildren
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
The GOP can stuff it's "pro-life" bullshit. When they finally actively show concern about children being slaughtered in mass shootings, and enact gun reform, then we can talk about being "pro-life."

Landlords say they can’t afford a rent freeze, but have $2.5M to give to Cuomo. Reminds me of corporations that spend millions to bust unions instead of just raising wages and offering benefits. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.
This administration of extremists, quacks, and grifters continues to endanger the lives and health of millions
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
Everyone watches Trump’s circus. Few see the man behind the curtain: Stephen Miller, the architect of America’s authoritarian future.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
I wonder what it’s like to live in a nation where you don’t go to bed at night terrified at what possible horrors you will awake to the next morning
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
“My friend got hit in the back… my friend Victor saved me, he laid on top of me…” We are failing them.
"My friend Victor, like, saved me though – cuz he laid on top of me. But he got hit...He was really brave, and I hope he's good in the hospital." A 10-year-old giving credit to a classmate for saving his life in today's school shooting in Minneapolis
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
When children are killed in school, Republicans make gun ownership *easier*. When disease kills and gives major long-term sequelae, Trump limits and even plans to ban vaccines. This is a culling.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
!!!!
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
I asked DC mayor Muriel Bowser if the "crime emergency" would end in 30 days. Sounded like maybe not. "We will be prepared to take advantage of additional federal officers to focus on the beautification to support the federal task force," she said.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
So the guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize and claims to end wars wants to call the DoD the War Department? Mmmkay.

Not to be dramatic but if your truck literally cannot fit in a standard parking spot, you should have to have an additional license for it and that license should be very expensive with all revenue going to road maintenance
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Well, that's more than enough news for one day. *crawls off the internet with head spinning*
BREAKING: Veterans stage sit-in in D.C. to protest National Guard deployment, Judge blocks deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Trump goes after media licenses, and the House subpoenas Epstein's estate. All the news you missed today: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the last one they come for before they come for you.
My hunch is that historians writing in the 23rd century will pinpoint the invention of opinion polling as deeply harmful to democracy--it's basically the same as a feedback whine on a speaker, forcing people to endlessly and fractally consider the opinions of others when making their own decisions.
Judge Xinis says there's been no offer of protection from Uganda akin to what Costa Rica has promised. The government can right the ship by showing some representation from Uganda that his freedom will not be curtailed, or that he will not be tortured or sent to El Salvador. 2/
NOW: Judge Xinis is presiding over a writ petition filed by Mr. Abrego. She's proposing the government respond by Wednesday, and a hearing Friday at 11 AM. She says extending a TRO is necessary because there appears to be a violation of the law. 1/
Weren’t they supposed to be STOPPING car jackings? Not committing them!
But, hey, at least the racists got to avoid seeing a smart Black lady in the White House who knew how lucky she was to inherit an economy with 4.2% unemployment, and wouldn't fuck up American trade with tariffs! Way to go, business press! Was destroying America worth being shaken down by Fascists?
“this is not about reform… It is about paralyzing public servants—making them apprehensive about what they say, how it might be interpreted, and who might report on them. It is about deterring anyone from daring to speak truth to power.”
When barbarians are breaking down our gate, 'gentlemen' or 'ladies' must no longer be our chosen leaders.Yes – be gentle in context.Yes – be nice in context. And never abandon your empathy. But if you can't recognize the dire situation our country is in and bring your inner-warrior, GTFO of the way.
The strange thing is that the reason Trump is President today and not in prison is largely because of the nonwhite voters he so openly despises.
🙃
This is wonderful. Thanks for posting. This lawless regime really loves irony as shown by one of the first announcements. Alt text for starters.
They implemented nearly half of it already and were not even a year in. www.project2025.observer

Here in Baltimore this morning, where clergy and activists have gathered in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is set to check in with ICE this morning. Heavy faith presence in addition to, just, a lot of people for 6:45am. Kilmar himself is about to speak.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

Wondering today whether John Bolton wishes he’d testified against Trump in that first impeachment.
Many of the men deported to CECOT said they are permanently changed: struggling to sleep, drink water or leave their homes. One man broke into tears describing how he had a panic attack the first time he walked down a busy Venezuelan street.
I get regular infusions. He, too, has been getting them for quite a long time. I have said over and over, he's being kept in a semi-functional condition as long as possible. They aren't ready to lose the distractor in chief
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if couchboy takes over before the midterms, it's considered his first term and he only gets 1 more. If he takes over after the midterms, then he's just the placeholder and gets two other terms, assuming he's elected and assuming there are still elections. So they wait.
The quick change from ‘gross’ to ‘oh no’
Look to the party in power and hold them accountable. You are just promoting a snake eating its own tail by this misdirection Justify your anger with their complacency. Every one of these Executive Orders can be decisively shut done by Congress.. #Congress substack.com/@thejackhopk...

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.
The Queen of England did not fire her own son Prince Andrew, strip away his military honors and pay a large (but undisclosed) sum of money to Virginia Giuffre because Andrew never met her. That would make zero sense.

I’ve lucky enough and/or too old to know much about the Roganverse but I found this long video essay really fascinating and well done. Expands beyond the comedy world and takes no prisoners. Got into it way more than I thought I would and watched the whole thing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvR...
Also we need a law that requires a mandatory C Suite austerity program before a company can begin layoffs of its workers
4 of the other 6 member states of the G7 (the group of the world’s most economically advanced democracies) have warned their citizens about the risks of traveling to the United States. Only Italy and Japan haven’t issued such travel advisories against us. Canada, France, Germany and the UK have.
Trump actually thinks it's good PR for a convicted rapist and child-trafficker to vouch for his 'character' from prison – in a testimonial acquired under extortion from his own criminal defense attorney. Dwell on this.
REP. @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Only 3% of the documents that were given to us were new. 97% were already in the public domain. Less than 1% of the Epstein Files have actually been released. They’re stonewalling and not releasing things.”

Comparing a large, high density, urban city to a whole state is bad statistics. Maybe use the right comparison to try to justify your unconstitutional behavior. It won’t make it acceptable but at least the math will be right #education matters.
‘It is not how they dressed but that you think like a p@dophle’ Is a phrase that needs to be used more. Victim-blaming shows who the real problem is in this situation #Dogma matters
“During the 10 days Jimenez Rosa was detained, the family was stuck in a bureaucratic maze as the 42 y.o. mother was shuttled between detention facilities- including 1 for men only- from MA to ME. She was denied care for her diabetes, asthma and other health issues, which led to 2 hospitalizations”

“Black babies in Mississippi are particularly vulnerable, with more than 15 deaths for every 1,000 live births in 2024 – a 24% jump in one year over already higher-than-average rates.” North Korea has a lower infant mortality rate – 13.6 in 2022 (UNICEF). Shame on the richest country on earth.
