Every story has a quote left on the cutting room floor. For this one, it's this: Me: The U.S. has sequenced 1000 measles genomes from our outbreak. Virologist @eddieholmes.bsky.social: "This is 2026! There shouldn't be 1000 measles genomes. That's disastrous." kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

That’s a wrap on Silkroad Ensemble’s Sanctuary Tour!

Ds need to promise to stop any of these officers - or their raters or senior raters - from seeing a Senate confirmation ever. Not one of them. Destroy all their careers. Tommy Tuberville them. Otherwise, Hegseth’s rot becomes an incurable cancer of the bone.

Before vaccines, my uncle died at the age of five from measles; my aunt died from polio at age 3 before they were vaccines. The gross negligence and stupidity of the anti-vaxer’s is beyond my comprehension. Unless you’ve invested in cemeteries and funeral services, it makes no sense.

After I shot this photo of Stephanie Tubbs at the #NoKings rally in Hattiesburg, I asked for her name. She hesitated, worried about how her family would react. "No problem," I told her, "We don't have to use your name." She paused. "Fuck it," she said, drawing cheers from the women around her.

At Democratic #NoKings protests, they used flags to wave. At Republican #Jan6 protest, they used flags to assault police officers. The two parties are *not* the same.

This is utterly extraordinary. If Hegseth et al got this wrong, think what else is happening with the drug boat strikes and much more. The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm. Gets worse as you read it. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

It's so absurd to me that after 10 years, the stock market still swings wildly in positive territory in reaction to a Trump post declaring that everything is about to get better. Y'all have had 10 years to learn that nothing that man says means anything. And still. Can't y'all recognize patterns?

If Cuba is such a flawed society, why try so hard to starve it for nearly seven decades? Why not prove your point by letting it fail on its own? It's honestly pretty impressive that Cuba has navigated an economic embargo for that long and it's still out here giving them hell.

This is what I was hoping to see from influencers and independent journalists who traveled to Cuba. The impacts of U.S. actions aren't getting the attention they deserve in mainstream media. My people are being ignored in the U.S. news.

Putting the previously masked ICE agents in airports where people can take pictures of their faces is a huge tactical blunder by the Trump folks.

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

"Iran immediately called Trump’s bluff...How thin did his bluff turn out to be? He didn’t wait until his 48-hour deadline was expiring. He blinked with 12 hours to spare—ensuring that the entire threat period took place while markets were closed over the weekend." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

if you're travelling and you are a documented citizen (esp if you're white/white-passing), you need to speak up & interrupt any racial profiling you witness. We are absolutely defeated if we allow ICE agents to harass people in the broad light of crowded airports. Don't be a good deputy citizen.

Please @schumer.senate.gov do not screw this up. Trump putting ICE goons in US airports will damage him and degrade ICE. It might inconvenience you and your aides, but we want to fight. We must fight. Stop mitigating. DO NOT CAVE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NEW: Virginia lawmakers just passed a bill that'd forbid sheriffs and local police from contracting with ICE, if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws and agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree that'd spell the end of ICE contracts in Virginia: boltsmag.org/virginia-bil...

We got a spicy Senate caucus revolt story from the WSJ for some Friday night fun. Murphy, Warren, Smith all named.

Here's the exchange in which Rep Adam Smith says all Dems should oppose any more funding for the war. Smith is generally moderate, so for him to unload this way is a big deal: newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Let's not forget that the Republicans spent decades preparing the courts for trump. Republicans.

This requires more than one man. It requires that an entire political party is pliant and corrupt. Republicans did this to The U.S. and to the world. Republicans.

An immigration judge has denied the asylum claims of a Columbia Heights family whose 5-year-old son, Liam Conejo Ramos, became a national symbol of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, their attorney told MPR News on Wednesday.

NEW: Families requested no cameras at today's dignified transfer at Dover, yet Trump’s White House released and promoted photos from the ceremony across social media, including TikTok.

I mean the answer seems to be to rename it after Dolores Huertes
