Sorry, no money for child cancer research or SNAP benefits for hungry American children, but billions for Pete to change a name and build a Pentagon makeup studio 🤦

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

NOAA cut funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, directed by my friend Mike West. As a result, seismic monitoring by nine stations in Alaska tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes will go offline by the end of the month. This endangers people in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of the Pacific.

Here is my latest for @msnbc.com, on Trump's ill-advised concept of a plan for health care, which entails repealing the ACA, and redistributing private insurers' tax breaks to the people for what would essentially amount to an HSA, which is unhelpful if not wealthy. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

When I was 4 years old my 3 year old sister died in bed beside me because Mom and Dad didn't trust the measles vaccine. My older brother and I were rushed to the hospital for blood transfusions because we were close to dying as well. Seeing this now decades later infuriates me.

Welp!

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand. Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

This clip will be forever burned into my brain. When @sanders.senate.gov told them they would be killing 51,000 people with their vote and they did it anyway. It was like watching him beg for mercy at a public execution.

After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status. That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998. This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

It’s disgraceful that the administration chose to go to court instead of fulfilling its responsibility to the American people. I will not stop fighting until every family has the resources they need to put food on the table. apnews.com/article/snap...

We should be asking ourselves "Why does the foreign press do a better job than the US press at covering the right wing in this country?"

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

Unprecedented corruption: Trump's "family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized 'on paper' gains. Much of that cash has come from foreign sources"

There's a lot to be said that is sophisticated about the aesthetics of fascism. I'll be blunt and dull. I think it's lame and ugly. What do you think?

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Tidy summary.

Even by Trump standards, the pardon of former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao is really bad His cryptocurrency firm was used by terrorists-like Al Qaeda-to move money He was basically convicted of money laundering And Trump pardoned him only after Binance helped Trump’s crypto company make millions

The government has the funds to issue SNAP benefits, yet they're withholding the money. Over $3 billion in contingency funds are set aside to ensure food assistance during a shutdown. They could leverage these funds to fulfill SNAP benefits for 40 M people, including 16 M children, yet they don't

"Infectious diseases don't stop with the people who say they are willing to bear the risk," said Meagan Fitzpatrick, a U Maryland vaccinologist. “…with an infectious disease, vaccination is never an individual choice." Especially for the innocent kids who don’t get to choose-their parents do.
