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.

Oregon’s Healthcare Without Fear Act is an example of how state legislation can keep communities safe. As Ellie Murray of @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social says, the bill is important to protect patients’ rights, and it will safeguard workers, too. www.nbcrightnow.com/news/oregon-...

An experiment began on March 3, 1951, in the studios of what is today NBC-5 in Chicago. The question it sought to answer was: Could television use entertainment to educate the children of the country about science?

“So he is using YOUR Tax Dollars to protect oil tankers from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause gas prices to go up - because he started a war using YOUR Tax Dollars.” -Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon

The idea that if you abandon enough of your principles you can make yourself too small a target for the right wing to bludgeon assumes a fidelity to reality on the part o their messaging that's simply not in evidence. Trump is on TV pretending Biden gave Ukraine F-35s and space lasers.

This was a very hard piece to report out, but an important and urgent one. If you care about the safety of women and girls online, I hope you’ll read it and share it with others.

Hillary Clinton to Republicans on the House Oversight Committee: "You have made little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in the Epstein files... This intuitional failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official rather than to seek truth and justice".

The January #inflation report, out yesterday, showed prices rising faster than expected, inspiring Health and Human Services Secretary #RFKJr. to suggest Americans should buy cheaper food.
