No, Charlie Kirk wasn't practicing politics the right way. His assassination deserves full condemnation writes @davidcorn.bsky.social, but his full impact should not be sidestepped. 👇

"“Just kill them.” He said. And the most chilling part was not merely that he said it—it was the silence that followed. His co-hosts didn’t gasp. They didn’t stop the conversation. They didn’t even pause. They simply let it pass" open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

A judge ruled that Trump can't act as national police chief, declaring that the president broke the law when he deployed troops to Los Angeles.

I was quoted in this article on coming changes to Medicaid. It was a pleasure and an honor to talk with Alejandra O'connell Domenech: thehill.com/policy/healt...

Disability is not a moral failing It’s not something a person chooses, nor can they “try harder” out of it Most of us will experience disability at some point in our lives You can be born disabled, it can happen suddenly due to accident or illness or be the result of aging It’s a part of life

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill. Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW. “This Bill is a deal with the devil”💥 @aoc.bsky.social

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

What the actual hell?! A close Trump advisor and MAGA figure just posted, “Alligator lives matter. The good news is alligators are guaranteed 65 million meals if we get started now.” This is disgusting, it’s genocidal language. Dehumanizing, dangerous, and unacceptable. How is this even real life?

CALL- CALL - CALL - We hoped the Senate would be the adults in the room and see the Big Bad Bill for what it is -- a big tax cut for billionaires and a way to take away health care from millions of people. They passed it, and now it goes back to the crazy clown car of the House. CALL CLIFF BENTZ!

The time to call is now!!!! Stop what you're doing and call your republican representative. The switchboard can route you to your own representative.

Congress is pushing a budget bill that: ❌ Slashes Medicaid & SNAP ❌ Guts education & social programs ❌ Hands tax breaks to billionaires ❌ Expands presidential power 📲 Text RESIST to 24284 OR 📞 Call your Senators NOW: ➡️ 866-426-2631 ➡️ 202-224-3121 (Capitol switchboard)

There’s so much good sense in this article by Elliot Haspel!!! Care ought to be rebranded as the essential work that it is. Therefore, no matter who does it, the caregivers’ own needs must be met. Child Care Has a Branding Problem open.substack.com/pub/familyfr...

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it. It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.” Demonstrators outside LA-area hotels—where ICE agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake. @annamerlan.bsky.social writes on "No sleep for ICE."

DEVELOPING: Minnesota lawmaker and husband were killed, another injured in what Gov. Walz called a “politically motivated assassination.” The suspect remains at large.
