I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

789 cases have been reported so far

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Remember, Prasad began his campaign against the pediatric COVID vaccine months before there was a pediatric COVID vaccine. Here he is spreading fake numbers about the death rate and treating vaccine side effects worse than death. More... www.youtube.com/watch?v=KROy...

“The fact that children in 2025 are suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is not just a public health failure. It is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.” Or, at least, it should be #bioethics

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Might be time to update your priors; it might not have been typhus that tore through Napoleon's army on the Russian campaign but rather two other fevers—one foodborne, the other from body lice phys.org/news/2025-10...

Karoline Leavitt is a complete disgrace. Her violent and unhinged rhetoric is going to get someone killed. These extremists are sick people.

🚨ICYMI: Last week, Florida became the first US state to end all vaccine mandates 💉 IDSA President Tina Tan warns this could heighten risks of vaccine-preventable diseases, leaving vulnerable groups most at risk #IDsky #MEDsky #PEDssky Listen to our interview: www.contagionlive.com/view/florida...

Dr. Pranita Tamma discusses how an analysis of infection source and treatment patterns found no evidence that combination therapy improves outcomes in patients with drug-resistant Pseudomonas, consistent with prior studies and clinical trials. #IDsky #Medsky

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.

Epstein victims lawyer Spencer Kuvin: "We now know from the words of the President himself that Virginia was right all along, and that she was trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago.”

#MartyMakary is a peddler of misinformation. A study came out on Monday saying: "In this nationwide cohort study, no increased risk of 29 adverse events was observed after vaccination with the updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccine [...] in approximately 1 million adults." Trust the data, not this fool. 1/

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

What an important point by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social back in February and ever more relevant. "Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 ... So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the [Epstein] case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida."

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.

Trump has had a lot of cognitive mishaps this week with evidence of his medical issues (bruised hand from an IV and an edematous ankle(s)). At his age, with the poor state of his brain and cognition, all it takes is a metabolic imbalance or UTI to throw him into a delirium.

Exclusive: For Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday, friends created a book of bawdy letters. One was from Donald Trump.

Anti-vaccine organization tries to target a journalist's child to either punish her for her reporting on misinformation or cower her into silence. It won't work. Brandy Zadrozny has more courage than that. It just shows them in a bad light. x.com/ChildrensHD/...

NEW: Former NYPD Commissioner Thomas Donlon has sued Mayor Eric Adams and other top police officials, accusing Adams of running the force as a “criminal enterprise." The suit draws extensively from a recent ProPublica investigation into a NYPD unit Adams championed. By @ericumansky.bsky.social

Went with the whole family to see Superman last night. From start to finish, LOVED every last moment of it!!! Brilliant cast, perfect script, so much FUN… many 🙏s to @jamesgunn.bsky.social for getting it so right. 👍 Also: Is there a fan club for Krypto the super-pup I can join? #woof

Studies show that feeding kids improves learning. The poorly educated vote MAGA. So of course, the GOP cut funding for feeding kids. They really are playing the long game, always have been.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Tell them they got what they voted for.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up. Powerful video…

@rokhanna.bsky.social states he and Thomas Massey are headed to DC to implement action to stop a prolonged war with Iran.

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

💯. There is no strategy, only impulses to quench an unquenchable narcissistic thirst.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

a former Cuomo staffer -- a Black woman -- said: “a very subtle form of racialized abuse. You know I am beneficial to you. I fill a quota. It looks good on paper, and we made sure to put press releases out. But you don’t intend to incorporate me into government. You just like to show me to people.”

10 reasons not to rank Andrew Cuomo *at all*

Nice dog whistle, JD. His name is Sen. Alex Padilla. You served with him in the Senate. But of course you called him “Jose.”
