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.

Hawaii is facing its worst flooding in 20 years—5,500 evacuations, a 120-year-old dam at risk, homes and roads destroyed. In Nebraska, historic wildfires have burned over 800,000 acres, killed one, and are still threatening ranches. Trump hasn’t said a word about either.

The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.

I wish that the United States pursued literally any worthwhile goal with the diligence and zeal that it has been trying to depot Abrego Garcia to somewhere other than Costa Rica.

Huh. Glad to see NYT finally admitting to this.

Nuclear safety, on Trumpism. What could possibly go wrong. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

United Airlines plans to cut less popular flights — including mid-week and overnights — until the fall, in response to surging fuel prices triggered by the war in Iran, CEO Scott Kirby said in a company memo. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4rL382E

I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment

Giving away the game here that ICE is his own mob he will deploy if his demands aren't met.

Authoritarians always require both of these things to be true: That The Enemy is weak and easily crushed by the might of The Leader. AND That The Enemy is strong, at or already inside the gates, and that you must sacrifice your freedom to The Leader to increase His might to stop them.

It's all on us. No going back. March 28th. "There is only what we make next. When we get to the other side, what we will have to guide us as we make new things is the experience of resistance now. What we can make next depends on what we learn now, on who we become now, by acting, by taking part."

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

So, yesterday the US set a new March temperature record of 110 degrees, beating the old record by two degrees. Today the US set a new March temperature record of 112 degrees, beating the new record by two degrees and the old one by four degrees.

Judge Blackwell has ordered ICE to provide for clergy visits to detainees in the Whipple building in Minnesota. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Justice for survivors means investigating all credible tips. That includes credible tips against the President. The public demands answers. It is time to depose the President.

Interesting to listen to this 2022 Fetterman campaign video now.

Funny how fast it went from "Biden made gas too expensive" to "eat high gas prices for the sake of the fatherland"

Iran believes it's winning the war, this conflict will become the next Vietnam, and that it can fully control the Strait of Hormuz: * Rate of drone, missile fire has actually increased * Every ship passing thru Hormuz to pay a toll to Iran www.wsj.com/world/middle...

“We’re trying to get a child out of a jail to do a spelling bee,” Ms. Rachel told me. “I just never thought those words would go together.” Read my story on Ms. Rachel’s new mission to help shut down Dilley and free kids trapped there — starting with two she met over Zoom last week.

ICYMI: Six years after Breonna Taylor’s killing, Trump quietly rescinded the rules that could’ve saved her. And now federal prosecutors are seeking to drop all charges against the officers who used a no-knock raid to ambush and kill her.

As reported in the UK. Barely noticed on this side of the pond

This becoming public is a big deal

This seems … not great?

I'm seeing a lot of these fake Donald Trump truths being posted on BlueSky (and lesser sites) at the moment. Its pretty easy to check, and you owe it to yourself and other people before sharing it.

It's tricky, I think, for those who remember the loneliness of being opposed to the 2003 invasion of Iraq to parse what is different about Trump's 2026 Iran War. It can feel like a retread, but unlike in 2003 the US public is opposed *from the start," a shift that didn't happen with Iraq until 2006.

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

Brilliant. US invaded Iran to replace an old, dying Khameini with a younger, more radical Khameini and to BUY oil from the Islamic Republic and give them MORE money. GENIUS STUFF! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Only Trump would lift sanctions against a country AFTER starting a war with them. Art of the deal.

It would've been reckless and inexcusable to cause generational damage by illegally defunding USAID, NIH, HHS, Dept of Edu, and so on just to reduce the deficit... ... but spending and the deficit are both higher than '22, '23, '24. It was all just harm for harm's sake. The cruelty was the point.

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

#$UAL *would* drop this on a Friday night wouldn’t they.

Sadly, an angry ex has long been a common cause of deportation/family separation, which DHS encourages when promoting the ICE Tip Line on social media. Abusers, employers, and landlords also use it as a threat or a get out of jail free card for domestic violence or when workers get hurt on the job.

Elon Musk misled Twitter investors ahead of $44 billion acquisition, jury says

Earlier this week, I had the honor of breaking fast at Rikers Island with New Yorkers in custody. It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time.   In a system too often defined by what it takes, I was reminded of what it means to give—mercy, dignity, and humanity. Eid Mubarak, New York.
