I again want to thank @doritreiss.bsky.social and @weparmet.bsky.social for leading @defendpublichealth.bsky.social’s amicus briefs in this case (AAP, APHA et al. vs. Kennedy et al.).

RFK Jr. fired all of the legitimate scientific experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with unqualified political appointees. A judge just ruled that the new members were not appropriately appointed, so ACIP cannot meet this week to spread more misinformation.

To be clear, the John F. Kennedy Center already completed a major $250 million remodel and expansion in 2019. This is a cover-up because ever since Trump forced his name on the building, attendance is in the toilet.

The ruling brought an abrupt halt to the major changes that Mr. Kennedy, who has long been skeptical of vaccines, had set in motion, upending national vaccine policy and making sweeping revisions to the recommendations for what shots are given and when. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

What have we become as a country?

Don’t be fooled. Same Republican politics—just without the MAGA sticker. Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA) announced that he will formally leave the Republican Party this week to become an independent. thehill.com/homenews/hou... #PINKS

Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too – the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a “big problem” for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Virginia passes bill banning schools from teaching lies about Jan 6 www.cbsnews.com/news/virgini...

Device ignited outside New York City mayor's residence Saturday contained explosive materials & fragmentation that could have killed people, according to law enforcement sources familiar with probe A federal terrorism investigation is underway and terrorism charges are pending

Vote in the midterms like your children’s and grandchildren’s lives depend on it. Because they do.

Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

The Trump administration says there will be no more Epstein files released. Over half of the 6 million documents remain sealed. Pam Bondi’s response: “The DOJ is done.”

Breaking 🚨 US CITIZEN Sunny Naqvi, born & raised outside Chicago, 2 other citizens & 3 legal residents were detained at O'Hare Airport. CBP took Sunny to Broadview Detention, then moved her to a Wisconsin facility & finally abandoned her at a gas station after 2 days of lies to her family & police.

DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: “ICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people. He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

And this is all he had to replace Noem.

It just keeps getting better every day …

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

We will bomb and tariff our way to prosperity! bsky.app/profile/atru...

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war. It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

What a nightmare. The U.S. economy has been shedding jobs overall since April 2025. From May 2025 through February 2026, the net change in employment is now -19,000 jobs.

I’m with Rep Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) we need answers and we need answers now. Trump and the Pentagon are reportedly planning on sending 23,000 troops to all 50 states. Elbridge Colby won’t answer basic questions about this plan. Unacceptable, we need to stay on this story.👀

Rep. Nancy Mace: "I believe Pam Bondi has been less than truthful with the American people and Congress on the Epstein files. I want to know where the files are that were on her desk, because they're not in the hands of Congress ... I want to know why this is continuing to be covered up."

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job? NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day- B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun? N: I dunno B: Would you agree he shouldn't be? N: I'll get back to you B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

Mike Johnson's strategy to allow the Trump admin to do whatever it wants with zero oversight or congressional authority or input is just to keep the House out of session repeatedly for extended periods of time.

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No authorization from Congress. No reason our service members should be dead. And no exit plan or strategy. This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

"The Peace President."

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

“We’re winning so much, I can’t take it anymore.”

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
