I read a lot of conservative media, and let me just say that this Washpost house editorial is one of the most shameful pieces of unsubstantiated, free-market claptrap that has been published all year, by anyone. Barely a mention of the thousands of deaths caused by US aid cutbacks.

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

they did this on Trans Day of Visibility.

In case you’re wondering who is getting rich from GOP decision to purge millions from Medicaid: kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

SBA guarantees close to 100,000 loans/year to small businesses. Immigrants own businesses at a higher rate than native-born U.S. residents. "any business that’s even partly owned by a permanent legal resident with a green card is no longer eligible for the loans" this is war on American small biz

This 50 yr old woman spent 5 months in jail accused of a crime in a state she's never even been to, because Clearview AI misidentified her as the suspect. A judge signed off on it, cops went along with it, no process in place to even question the AI. www.cnn.com/2026/03/29/u...

Changes that Republicans made to SNAP will kick a lot of people off food stamps starting April 1. If you can, please support your local food bank. www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/...

They probably only let him out to avoid having him die in ICE custody. Really a 360-degree assault — decimate cancer research, send health insurance premiums skyrocketing, then detain thousands of people and deny them healthcare. Death cult.

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

This is a salient point that needs to be hammered at a bunch here: "It is all but impossible for outlets like CBS News to win over any meaningful swath of the Fox News audience." I don't know how many times I've heard this from industry insiders, yet folks at CBS and WaPo and LA Times keep trying.

NEWS: In a lawsuit to stop the planned removal of the 15th Street bike lane, @waba.org says the Trump administration is violating the Administrative Procedures Act because it hasn't consulted NCPC and because the decision is "arbitrary and capricious."

Trump is the ACE president — hellbent on producing the largest increase of Adverse Childhood Experiences in a single presidency, whether it’s by kidnapping parents, ripping away social safety nets, subjecting cities to occupation. He’s been waging war on children.

High statistical comedy: p-hacking used to avoid what is, to me, a self-evidently stupid conclusion that resulted in the first place from...doing significance testing. Now that's high damn comedy!

No exaggeration, I think this is one of the most important stories in US health care. MAHA makes a lot more sense if you see it as a hostile takeover by the quackery industry

*more than 84 countries combined* www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

For many decades, RFK Jr worked tirelessly to derail vaccination & drive the spread of deadly infectious diseases Then last year he became the most powerful person in the US federal health system—leading HHS—so he could turbocharge his extreme anti-vaccine campaign He's getting all he ever wanted

Don’t be fooled. Removing protected bike lanes along 15th St. near the National Mall doesn’t alleviate congestion – it will cause more of it as accidents increase. It’s yet another effort by the federal government to politicize common-sense safety measures in the District.

Kenyan’s argument JLG should have voted against the commission he failed to hold accountable is an incredible self-own.

lots of jarring statistics and heartbreaking stories I could share from this story, but this particular anecdote made me tear up when @jonathanwosen.bsky.social first shared this story with me For more details from our survey of ~1000 nih-funded researchers, read the report below

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

The NBC News story about Corey Lewandowski is very important. The GEO Group-related claims are astounding, and later reporting in the story suggests that those allegations were not some one-time thing. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Florida’s Glades County Detention Center, where Perez-Jimenez died, had been shut down by the Biden administration “after years of allegations of abuse and hazardous conditions, but it was reopened in April 2025 amid the Trump administration’s massive crackdown on immigrants.”

"The vast majority of parents said ICE had not asked them if they had kids, contrary to the agency’s own rules... some tried to volunteer that information to the agency—but it didn’t make much difference." “Operationally feasible” shouldn’t decide whether families stay together.

OPINION: " Low-income and rural women are often missing out on nutrients such as calcium, iron, folate and choline," Bethany Barone Gibbs and Alex Crisp write.

That would fund the NIH for 4 years.

The Pentagon is requesting the equivalent of $1,500 per American household to fund President Trump's unauthorized, unconstitutional, and unpopular war. Congress must say no.

“We’re going to keep a close eye on whatever ACIP does next and stand ready to continue to support the plaintiffs any way we can and to call out RFK Jr’s anti-science nonsense,” @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social said. www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-healt...

Mullin is so clearly unqualified to run DHS that any senator who votes to put this man in charge of any federal agency, let alone DHS, is announcing their own disqualification for office.

“ @janeese4dc.bsky.social has co-introduced multiple bills seeking to lower utility costs for DC residents. Kenyan McDuffie, on the other hand, spent eight years chairing the committee with oversight of the gas and electric utility companies but provided no serious oversight.”

His “banana in a tailpipe” zinger wasn’t really all that good but he brought it out like 3 times? We get it, you’ve seen Beverly Hill Cop, congratulations.

House GOP leadership silent as more members post anti-Muslim statements www.npr.org/2026/03/14/g...

I’m kind of shocked at how nasty and blatantly misogynistic McDuffie is being toward JLG at this #FreeDCDebate. I have no qualms about raising policy differences, but this is undignified.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

"This is an extraordinary thing for the government to do, to instruct the immigration courts, a component of the [DOJ], to essentially ignore the final declaration of a federal court as to what the law is.” -- @danmcfadden.bsky.social of @aclum.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/14/m...

"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes, according to three sources familiar with the closed-door session." How is this real life? AYFKM

We estimated that if DOGE and Musk doubled the rate of identity theft, it would affect 50 million people and cost them $40 billion a year

“I would stand up to Trump,” says the man whose touts *as a top policy priority* getting rid of the same speed cameras Congressional GOP have been chomping at the bit to remove.

TIL Kennedy thinks BlueSky is pronounced like it rhymes with brewski 🍻

It is outrageous that Nashville Notacias reporter Estefany Rodriguez was detained and taken out of state because of ICE reporting. We are proud to join 40 other press freedom, civic and media orgs to call for her immediate release. cpj.org/2026/03/cpj-... #PressFreedom apnews.com/article/repo...

When economists say the president can't really do much to change gas prices, what they mean is he can't do much to *reduce* gas prices. Turns out they can do a lot to raise them www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-iran...

Infants 0-6 months and pregnant patients are at much higher risk of complications from covid. The covid vaccine isn’t meth — covid vaccine during pregnancy is safe, vital preventative health care that protects birth parents and infants. Covid vaccine in kids is safe and reduces risk of long covid.

A. This is awful and no one, wherever you stand on the death penalty, should be okay with it B. This is a good headline that refuses to equivocate www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

And we called that tiny bit of accountability "going too far."

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

Trump’s Iran War is as unpopular as the Iraq war was…in 2014. “No president in modern polling history has launched a major military operation with the public already against him.”

Oh, I’m suuuuure it’s a question of time and not, say, intellectual ability.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:
