Last night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the federal vaccine advisory committee. “It’s a massive story in terms of the implications of where this may be going,” Jack Blanchard says on #playbookpod, “Everyone knows RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines.” 🎧 ow.ly/GJCP50W6UzG

It doesn't end with the illegal immigrants folks, it's actually just the beginning.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Every accusation is a confession.

‼️‼️

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Zero! 😳

Happy Caturday

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

FFS make it stop

Love this! Great attitude!

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me. Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.

They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

The ambush and arrest of Rumeysa Ozturk is something out of a dictatorship. Rumeysa is here legally and has not been charged with a crime. The Trump Administration is sending a message that free speech is not protected in their regime. She must be returned to Massachusetts.

Let it begin.

Luna would like to remind you to close your eyes and take a deep breath. Drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth and hiss. Feel better?

Sanctuary Scandal! Calvin and CJ both wore the same outfit to work.

Would like to report some gang tattoos.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.

Me to myself: This is annoying. This conversation is annoying, this person is annoying. I hope I’m hiding it well. My face:

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

A reminder for these times.

We were delighted to host our first "Ask me anything" on Thursday. Below, we are summarizing some themes that came up. We have such great followers and will host another in the future!

As the Trump administration announced mass terminations at dozens of National Weather Services offices across the country this week, current and former staffers said an exodus of new hires and veterans will hinder the agency’s ability to predict weather hazards.

Wow…

If you thought the disgraceful display was a sign of strength from the oval office… You just might be a high school mean girl or mediocre white guy.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Whom else despises #JDVANCE 👋 Don’t let up on this 🤡 He actually hid! #BlueStormComin1 Like and Repost

“We’ve almost fully switched sides here” — Mark Kelly

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

Disgusting in every way

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Sure would be nice to turn on the TV and see what Joy Reid has to say right now.

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

Today is National Love Your Pet Day.

I persist and resist the temptation to ask you if one thing has been different would everything been different today? Feeling this #taylorswift lyric deep in my soul today

good morning

A rare double sighting of the Spike Snuggles and Dandy Biscuits happening simultaneously.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.
