Texas Restaurants Are Forcing a Reckoning Over Immigrant Labor www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u... the Texas Restaurant Association, in a state with strong conservative roots, made clear that it was not calling for amnesty, nor was it asking for a pathway to citizenship for immigrants.

Does Vance think he’s popular in Europe

A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft. Far-right authoritarianism is a globally collaborative movement.

ICYMI: @thetimes.com did a nice little profile on me "I think covering this stuff over the last decade has probably negatively affected my mental health just bc it’s pretty bleak most of the time. But I still get up and feel privileged in some ways to be able to cover historic events for a living."

Mark McAfee’s Raw Farm dairy products are the common denominator in an E. coli outbreak. The FDA requested a recall. McAfee is refusing to do so. Most food recalls are voluntary, but since rules don’t matter anymore, we get McAfee’d.

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

I keep trying to make it clear that what RFK Jr. has done to public health and healthcare will take years before the full weight of the horror becomes visible. We are seeing the canaries in the coal mine with the measles outbreak and the FDA idiocy around vaccine approvals.

Baffling for this Canadian. The US' liberal democracy is in serious trouble. When a single donor can give a single candidate $280M USD to win the presidency, you no longer have a democracy. You have a country run by billionaires who treat the US like a business bank account.

Whoever leads the Justice Department after Pam Bondi “will be confronted with exactly the same problem” as she was, @qjurecic.bsky.social argues: “Trump is asking his attorney general to do the impossible.”

Back in August 2025, @mirandayaver.bsky.social and I published an OpEd on how RFK Jr. an the Trump administration are trying to destroy the ACA using backdoor methods like blocking advisory panels like the USPSTF. I’m glad this issue is getting more attention from Reuters today.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

American public health shouldn't be decided by the wellness industry profiteers, and that's who RFK Jr. is handing it to. Contact your Rep at tr.ee/removeRFKJr to stop RFK Jr. zurl.co/7oEDh #ImpeachTheQuack #RemoveRFKJr #ImpeachRFKJr

Dear Somali-Americans in Minnesota: I'm apologizing that you have to hear and read these things, but I know you realize that everyone thinks he's a demented old fool.

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

FACT OF THE DAY. 26 March 1953. In a huge medical breakthrough, US medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk announced that he had created the first polio vaccine. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.

I used to play football manager where i would take over Chelsea, let go of all the players, sign the worst players for crazy $ on 7 yr contracts, then quit and watch the team get relegated and go into bankruptcy. Trump is doing that to the US.
