The 60 Minutes Story The Trump Administration Doesn't Want You To See youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

A recent modeling study in JAMA showed that if MMR vaccine rates drop 10% (easy to see happen with this), we’re back to 400,000-500,000 cases a year. Our current outbreak is 2,000. This turns the clock back to 1950 🚨🚨🚨

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice will fail to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Neil Finn was only 14 when he realised big brother Tim was making something magical. #culture #music

At a moment when the majority of Americans are dissatisfied with Trump’s stewardship of the economy, millions could soon be on the hook for increased health-care costs, @willgottsegen.com writes:

Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

As soon as the shooting at Brown University happened, Internet sleuths were quick to blame the shooting on “leftist activists," eventually pinning the crime on a third-year student with little evidence. It didn’t take long for a who’s who of powerful conservative influencers to run with it.

There is now a voucher program for privatization that receives more funding than we’ve had for years for the two compensatory programs that are essential for kids. — @rweingarten.bsky.social on funding needed for Title I and IDEA.

Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families. We simply do not have to live this way. The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.

BREAKING: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese proposed tougher national gun laws after a mass shooting on Sydney's Bondi Beach left at least 15 people dead.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

It gets even worse people.com/rob-reiner-w...

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

"For the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71 percent believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate."

After each horrific instance of gun violence in the U.S., leaders whose only response is “thoughts and prayers” have blood on their hands. There are constitutional and proven policies to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands. It is a dereliction of duty — and humanity — to not act.

Couldn't agree more. All of these proposals are constitutional, reasonable, and vital. (1/2)

As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough? www.wmur.com/article/brow...

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2043...

Americans should be requires to show ID and proof of citizenship at all times, unless they are at a gun show.

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

Amen

In 1993, Trump signed mortgages for 2 homes in Florida, claiming each as his principal residence. He does not appear to have ever lived in either, let alone used them as a principal residence. They were investment properties & rented out. Yet he accuses others of fraud? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

We'd never deport veterans, Noem says in earshot of deported veteran.

How bad was this hearing? This guy had a full head of hair when it started.

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption. This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

This is a fun one! One third of the surveyed residents of new buildings worked in healthcare, over half don't own cars, and almost half moved from outside the Philly region www.inquirer.com/real-estate/...

BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place. Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

The Justice Department has waged an unprecedented campaign to intimidate states into handing over voters’ private information. The goal, as @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social & @ariberman.bsky.social report, could result in the unprecedented harassment of individual citizens like you and me.

Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution. Commentary ↓

Crowded House always has a special place in my heart. Neil Finn's talent is something else.

Another great example of how a normal, commendable behavior (keeping your child close to protect them) can be reframed (using a human shield) by people who only care about winning It’s good to see these, because it can make you reasonably skeptical when you hear these same phrases in other contexts

FIFA has more in common with a criminal syndicate than a sports league. No wonder Trump likes it. I am a huge ⚽️ fan but between #FIFA’s graft, ridiculous ticket prices & kissing the ring, I do not plan on attending or actively participating in the World Cup next year here in #Philly or elsewhere.

The most important line in a solid piece by @iandunt.bsky.social "And yet for all its flaws, Bluesky offers something which is becoming vanishingly rare in the modern world: a vision of life without the algorithm. What I see is what I have chosen to see. We own our own destiny on Bluesky."

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

This is a fucking nightmare and right now I am very, very angry with the people who put Trump back in office. More and more kids are going to die from preventable diseases. As I have said for months, RFK Jr. has more power to singlehandedly kill more Americans than any other cabinet secretary.

trump getting the fake "fifa peace prize" and still not winning the real one that the BLACK PRESIDENT got says a lot

With Trump slated to win the FIFA Peace Prize today, revisit @timothypmurphy.bsky.social's look at how oligarchs, private-equity moguls, and petro states took over soccer—and the world.

SCOTUS is allowing Texas to redistrict early. Remember that California responded by passing Prop 50 last month. Other states must also counteract Trump's attempt to steal the 2026 midterms. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

The Roberts court just helped Trump rig the midterms

Spending 41 minutes deliberating and then deciding to kill two men clinging to the debris of their boat is nothing more or less than premeditated murder. There is no rationale that justifies this. There is no magic sequence of words or arguments that excuses it. It was cold-blooded murder.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Important: Alvin Holsey, the commander who oversaw Trump's boat bombings and resigned w/no explanation, had concerns about legality of operation, WSJ reports. Recall that Rep Adam Smith told me he sought Holsey's testimony. Pentagon said No and Rs won't push for it. newrepublic.com/article/2025...

The main reason I say Democrats must make renewing public schools a top-3 campaign issue is it’s the right thing to do. The next reason: the GOP is hammering education. And if we give it up, school policy will be made in Bloomfield Hills party HQs with Koch groups like AFP.
