“The decision to have an abortion is a personal, intimate choice. Who would have the gall to file a lawsuit over someone’s decision like that and splash it all over the papers, except for someone who intends to further abuse?”

When DOGE arrived at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the operatives had no real background in nuclear issues. They boxed out experienced hands, forcing resignations and massive exodus of talent. Over 400 people have since left or been forced out. Our full story: https://propub.li/3OBQMwk

SCOOP: Trump's secret contract for White House ballroom fundraising shielded donors and excluded White House from conflict-of-interest safeguards. It took a lawsuit from @publiccitizen.bsky.social and a judge's order to make it public. w @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"In 1902, politicians designed a lifetime ban to “eliminate the darkie as a political factor” in Virginia and guarantee “the complete supremacy of the white race in the affairs of government.”" "As recently as 2016, 22 percent of Black Virginians were barred from voting for life."

Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms. Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...

NEWSMAX: If this goes on for weeks, the US military is probably going to have to go into Iran and finish the job. Am I reading that right? MARSHALL: I think that's right. And previous presidents have had the same issues. Think about Truman's decision on dropping the bomb and D-Day for Eisenhower

The path to getting tariff refunds hit a major milestone on April 20 when US Customs and Border Protection began allowing companies to submit refund requests. Here's what to know.

This isn’t a scientific debate. This is government censorship. This is Lysenkoism, as @gregggonsalves.bsky.social pointed out last year. And this will not end well. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden. This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years. But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy.

The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments today on Blanche v. Lau, which is a dangerous threat to due process. This would potentially allow the government to strip green card holders of their rights based on unproven allegations rather than actual convictions. 🧵

A CSIS report indicates the US used 45-50% of its Patriot air defence missile, over 50% of its THAAD interceptor stocks & nearly 30% of Tomahawk missile & over 20% of JASSM air to surface missile stocks during its 7-week war in Iran. Rebuilding these stockpiles will take 3 to 5 years.

Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this
