Measles isn't just a fever and a rash! It can cause pneumonia, brain inflammation, permanent disability and death. The virus can go dormant in the body...and re-emerge a decade or so after infection, and cause rapid and fatal brain tissue deterioration. GET YOUR KIDS VACCINATED.
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
I think they are happy to see the market go down because they will be snapping up all kinds of assets at bargain basement prices. Only the very wealthy be able to do so

Breaking News: A second child has died of measles in West Texas amid an escalating outbreak. It is the second confirmed measles death in a decade in the U.S.
I wonder is SpaceX is upto the challenge.
West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.
To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.
Direct evidence of criminal election bribery under Wis. Stat. §12.11: “‘My name’s Ekaterina Deistler,’ she said in a video posted Monday morning. ‘I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.’”
Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
The second (and last) free sample... I mean "excerpt" of my book is live on the excellent Contraband Camp. What, you thought I wrote a whole book about Bad Laws and didn't go down to Florida? www.contrabandcamp.com/p/book-excer...
Aren't they the company known to use child labor?
These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.
A federal judge has frozen parts of President Donald Trump's executive order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block, one of two firms linked to the Robert Mueller investigation Trump has sought to punish.
It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
Oh… Pete Hegseth’s younger brother is on the government payroll? So much for MeRiToCrAcY. It’s all one giant boy’s club of self-enrichment and nepotism.

Under section 12.11(1m)(a)(2), it’s a crime to offer “anything of value” to “any elector” to induce them to “vote or refrain from voting.”
You all make us proud. Every time we share information, you’re right there helping us amplify it and push back. Huge thanks to those who stepped up—especially the lawyers. Word spread, and Musk’s team was made aware that Wisconsin law prohibits payments for voter turnout.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul says he will take legal action against Elon Musk over his plan to award $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters ahead of Tuesday's pivotal state Supreme Court election on Tuesday. Let's go!!!!!!
Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.
RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.
“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social share the group chat in which officials planned strikes on Yemen: theatln.tc/uXU1g37J
Not only did Pete Hegseth hire his younger brother but he also had his wife tag along to meetings while they were discussing sensitive information? Pete Hegseth has gotta go. Resign. Immediately.
Yep:
NEW: Per a source with knowledge, the entire HHS Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy, or OIDP, was just fired.
A federal judge ruled that DOGE has no right to access sensitive personal information at various government agencies, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, banking and income information and more.
I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!
They need to “fall in line” less and leak more. Come on. Learn how to do it securely, and then do it.
Early voting is taking place for the special elections in Florida for seats in the U.S. House in the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. Election Day is on Tuesday, April 1st. Get out and vote for Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Josh Weil!
Paul Weiss: We are pathetic. Skadden: Hold our beer.
BREAKING: Judge John Bates grants Jenner & Block's temporary restraining order request, blocking implementation of Sections 3 (contracting) and 5 (personnel) of the executive order targeting Jenner & Block, as well as use of the language in Section 1 (risks).
The real lunatic here is Marco Rubio trampling over people’s First Amendment rights. It is shameful that an individual who says his family was the victim of an authoritarian regime would send hooded agents to disappear people because of controversial speech.
A top vaccine advisor at the FDA was forced to resign on Friday. In his resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks, wrote "truth and transparency are not desired," by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
People out there, please repost this. This is the person running for Sheila Jackson Lee's spot in Congress. Want to learn more-- www.isaiahmartin.org
RIP USAID — all remaining 900 employees will be fired.
In case you want to know the terms of Skadden's disgraceful capitulation, here they are.
Trump is 0-3 in cases brought by law firms he has targeted with illegal executive orders. Yet the cowards at two other law firms -- Paul Weiss and Skadden -- shamefully capitulated without putting up a fight.
Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

from TRO vs. trans ban in military: "Defendants’ position does not urge judicial deference to military judgment. It urges judicial abdication. No. The law does not demand that the Court rubber-stamp illogical judgments based on conjecture."
INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.
Chuck Schumer is gonna end up forming a two-person support group with Drake.
Roughly 35% of the American voting public apparently do not.
Donald Trump is lying to you.
Ooof
The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA. In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.
If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.
This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.
You don't even know if they did! She doesn't even know who did.
To probationary federal employees who have been terminated: Democracy Forward has filed a first-of-its-kind class-wide complaint with the Office of Special Counsel. If civil servants want to join in the complaint, you can email info@civilservicestrong.org
