Acting head of US NIH infectious disease institute has left, senators say reut.rs/49ilz8t

this Minneapolis "fraud" press conference is like a failed WWE audition. get a load of this guy.

That's the great @maxnesterak.bsky.social of the @minnesotareformer.com!!

The refugee and asylum system in the US was modeled on the UN protocols established to protect vulnerable people after WWII. Many nations signed on to that agreement as the horrors of Nazi Germany became clear. This is a repudiation and an inversion of that spirit of protection. History:

REID: You're the nation's top law enforcement official. Would you be okay with people who were convicted of hurting police getting taxpayer money? BLANCHE: Just to be clear, people who hurt police get money all the time REID: 🤨

REUTERS: “Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to get between $2 & $5 million.” We are so far off the cliff. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The most corrupt Attorney General in history.

Congrats to the NFL for rewarding a stadium partially funded by this Republican supermajority state with a Super Bowl immediately after they stripped representation from majority-Black Memphis. Quite the message y’all sent. www.facebook.com/share/1JMars...

NEW: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) offered amendment to block Trump’s newly-established $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money from "making any payments to convicted child predators" Multiple pardoned Jan 6 rioters have been accused of child abuse Amendment was blocked

Why should they? They broke the law. Plain and simple.

JD Vance: "You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to disproportionate sentencing? People who voted for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6 protest."

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

Utterly corrupt

COLLINS: You told me that anyone who assaulted a police officer on J6 should go to prison. So why not rule out given them taxpayer money? JD VANCE: ... Well Kaitlan, what I said is we're gonna look at everything case by case C: So why not rule it out? VANCE: I don't rule things out categorically

Straight out of the fascist playbook of re-writing history. They're going to use the fact that January 6 insurrectionists were pardoned as "proof" that they didn't actually attack anyone and were wrongfully targeted.

BREAKING: Todd Blanche just used the $1.7B slush fund theft to END the IRS audit into trump’s tax returns. Outside lawyers WARNED that would be illegal.

Kash Patel went snorkeling around the sunken hull of the USS Arizona, a battleship that still houses the remains of over 900 Americans killed during Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Not even the families of those killed are allowed to do what he did. apnews.com/article/fbi-...

Oh. My. God. This is despicable.

The maker of jets that crashed and killed everyone onboard and the carmaker fined tens of millions for mishandled recalls have suddenly decided to sponsor their top regulator's reality show purely for the love of the open road www.wsj.com/business/boe...

Wait. This dude referred to the Biden admin as Nazis? I thought that was inciting violence and people like that should be charged?

Good read - to paraphrase a specific quote from a Georgia State Senator about his state, broadening to the rest of US, if red state Republicans ever used their power to help their constituents, they wouldn’t have to waste time and money redrawing the maps every few years to keep their majorities

(Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday declined to comment on a Reuters report that the U.S. has cleared about 10 Chinese firms to buy Nvidia's second-most powerful AI chip, the H200, saying that was a Commerce Department matter. @reuters.com #$NVDA

Hegseth gets performatively indignant instead of answering Chris Coons's straightforward question about what the military's plan is for reopening the Strait of Hormuz (It's pretty clear there is no plan ... )

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

David Garrett is part of the pioneering group that created the Trump Epstein Reading Room to show the magnitude of the Epstein Files, as currently produced by the Trump DOJ. He joins me to explain how the exhibition came to be & why it’s an important step towards justice. youtu.be/CHxJNs6CQV4?...

President Trump wants the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool painted blue. He used an exemption to steer a $6.9 million contract to somebody he said had worked on his own pools, despite rules about how government money is spent, The New York Times found.

I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden: "Citizens have the right to peacefully protest, I just wish they knew what they were talking about. There have been no cuts to Medicaid or Medicare." (He's lying -- the "Big Beautiful Bill" cut $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Trump is “bored” with the Iran war, an outside advisor told me It’s not going well and he is frantically looking for an off-ramp. But Iran could extend it for months It then becomes a matter of pain: Which side can withstand the most economic hardship? www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
