In case you’re wondering how it’s going.

Thank you!

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

Shocked Matt Schlapp would approve this booking, given that Todd Chrisley will absolutely out-queen him.

Margaret Atwood insisted "The Handmaid’s Tale" was rooted in real history. Now, a new Ohio bill proposed by Republicans would track all pregnancies in the state. @michelebgoodwin.bsky.social warns the bill could lead to “criminal punishments and civil fines and various other horrors.” #Velshi

Q & A w/Trump re Iran war: Russians helping Iran? "What a stupid question" Gas prices? "If they rise, they rise" Deaths of our troops? "That's the way it is" Possible strikes in U.S.? "I guess" Strait of Hormuz? "It will open itself" Sending 5K troops? "You're a very obnoxious person"

Spot on!

Abolish ICE. Fund TSA. We’re done with the chaos.

“A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by Post and Courier thru public records... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984.” @postandcourier.bsky.social

For those who would like an explainer on Citizens United and what it has done, this is a good read. Dark money and Super PACs come into play. This alone shows how bad a decision this was and needs to be overturned. #SheShed #EndCitizensUnited www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Congress can stop this madness any time they want to. This is on them.

Joshua Haymes & Brooks Potteiger (Pete Hegseth's pastor) pray imprecatory psalms against James Talarico: "I pray that God kills him. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ ... If it would not be within God's will to do so, stop him by any means necessary."

Nate Cavanaugh has gone viral recently for his taped deposition about DOGE eliminating "DEI" grants. He's also a key figure in our story from last year. We found that he helped expose a sensitive Afghanistan program, leading to a brutal Taliban crackdown.

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.

Tim Sheehy should be charged with whatever crime this is - and then expelled from Congress.

Historically, trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist? Bad idea.

Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Big. Another potential pickup for Democrats. Razor thin margin now for Republicans.

He lies through his teeth. He changes his mind continuously. He acts on whim. He’s driven by vengeance, hate and money. He wants more power for no good but only to feed his insatiable broken ego that never gets enough. Woe to everything you may love. Giving up or giving in are not options.

WATCH: “An extraordinary betrayal of the American people.” @krystalball.bsky.social lays out how Stephen Miller & Trump blatantly lied about being anti-war and said Kamala would do exactly what they’re doing now.

🤷🏼‍♂️

🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”

Neguse: It's still unclear as to the ultimate reasons that Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that Noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it.

Looking forward to finding out why this administration has started this war

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

On the plus side, with all this evidence the war crimes trials should be short.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028. He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

People ask why Trump is a bad President. It’s simple: because he’s a bad person.

ROGAN: “It’s overwhelming me. Too much fucking madness. We’re about to go to war with Iran. What are these files? How far does this go? What is happening?” Wait til joe rogan finds out he helped get Trump elected 🤷🏼

He knows. They all grifted off of Trump.
