Lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia: I don’t want it to be lost how courageous Kilmar has been and how he’s made some very hard decisions in the course of this litigation. He didn’t have to go down this path of fighting and exposing the administration for what they’re doing.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

Yesterday, we post about the Trump administration’s plan to require all federal workers to sign nondisclosure agreements. The government is not a business. It exists to serve the public and the public has a right to know how it’s being run.

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

Spending more on everything else, aka inflation.

Not sure why anyone would prescribe an antibiotic for lower back pain with disc herniation. Maybe they misheard something at an early morning med school class? www.cidrap.umn.edu/antimicrobia...

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been called a deadbeat dad, or lectured by the social media trolls & bigots about how all Black men abandon their families. The truth is, I’ve been married to the same queen for nearly 30 years, and together we raised two brilliant children.

🧪A direct result of incompetence and malice at HHS.

A masked man in an armored vehicle, dressed as if he is in the middle of a war zone, training a weapon on unarmed protestors. This is simply incompatible with democratic expression.

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

Trump’s immigration crackdown is already backfiring. Tax experts warn undocumented immigrants are too scared to file taxes, potentially costing the US up to $479 BILLION over 10 years. They paid $96.7B in 2022 alone. This is Trump’s American fiscal sabotage. tinyurl.com/46m2btw2

I wish Prof Gavin Yamey was being pessimistic, I fear he is being realistic.

Washington’s policy toward Africa under Trump’s leadership has been more destructive to public health on the continent than anything seen in modern times, writes columnist @hofrench.bsky.social.

Again, the Covid vaccine is safe. The FDA reviewed 96 reports of child deaths reported in VAERS. None of them were linked to the Covid vaccine. Recall that Vinay Prasad proposed restricted access to the Covid vaccine based on a few VAERS entries. No surprised. 🧪 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

New USPS rules have voting experts worried. One advocate told Bolts, “There is more friction and more barriers being injected into our system in terms of registering to vote and accessing the ballot.”

And the average US citizen will never get inside a Whitehouse ballroom no matter how it ends up. No longer the people’s house.

Homeland Security was never a comfort to me, but filled me with apprehension of what it might do.

You cannot gut global health systems, attack scientific institutions, withdraw international cooperation, and then act shocked when disease response worsens. Public health depends on collaboration and expertise – things this admin continues to undermine. Gift Article: zurl.co/GottB

Dead people being dead can't unenroll from Medicaid. Nor can they actually incur any Medicaid charges. You didn't find fraud; you found where the system of death didn't close the books.

No one ever mentions that the Capitol was barricaded off the day before J6. It was off limits to the public. No one had the right to enter. Police stood behind the barricades to ensure enforcement. The building was closed for good reason. People killed cops to enter. Now you want to reward them?

If unions didn't work, owners wouldn't spend ungodly sums to make sure their shops aren't unionized.

American Taxpayers Funded a White Nationalist Rally for Trump Trump and his cabal of Christian Nationalists used taxpayer dollars to host a rally in the nation's capital in honor of their corrupt King and Daddy, who will bring forth Christian Domination. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

And that the US was victorious multiple times.

There’s almost daily shootings that would have meant a week of national news 20 years ago and just get crowded out in a day now.

We just sued to stop Donald Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund, which if allowed, will pay the rioters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6. We're going to stop it. We're proud to represent Jan. 6 Officers @libradunn1.bsky.social and @semperwry.bsky.social . Find out more at publicintegrityproject.org.

This is what the White House looks like today. This destruction and tacky chaos perfectly represents what the MAGA regime has done to the United States. Makes me sick to my stomach.

A stark example of awful deaths due to USAID being dismantled.

The current avian influenza has been here for 4 years. Getting info out is tough. “More education needed” is not working.

Salmonella outbreaks linked to backyard poultry sent at least 54 people to the hospital. At least 184 people have been sickened by several strains of the bacterium. Read more: ow.ly/aHGp50Z0o0H 📷: Bluebelle chicken / Flickr

The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

It’s too perfect that Trump’s slush fund is exactly $1.776B. Stop rounding it to $1.8B (or incorrectly to $1.7B). Let people see that it’s exactly $1.776B, so they know that it’s complete faux-patriotic bullshit. #maddow

The Vaccine Integrity Project at @cidrap.bsky.social published a review of evidence on Tdap vaccination during pregnancy w/ the Evidence Foundation. Our review reinforced that maternal vaccination provides protection for infants before the age they can be vaccinated. Report: ow.ly/uJwF50YZ3ok

What is left of US public health is being hobbled by the administration. Transparency is gone.

Mike Johnson states gerrymandering will bring back fairness to white voters. I guess he want to fix how white voters have historically been kept out of participating in the democratic voting process and thus unable to hold higher office.

On Friday afternoon when eyes were elsewhere. Where are the reporters?

Trump posted that the UN just admitted climate change projections were “WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” and declared victory over what he called 15 years of Democratic fearmongering. He has no idea what he’s talking about.

2019: Donald Trump calls on China to investigate Joe Biden for having son Hunter fly to China on Air Force Two as he sought business in China. 2026: Donald Trump flies son Eric to China on Air Force One as company linked to him explores a deal with a Chinese chipmaker.
