JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it! Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

Russell Vought's sick little power trip will also hurt GOPers. One project he's cutting is the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, which spans Oregon, Washington, and...Montana. The state's GOP governor has hailed it for creating "good-paying Montana jobs." Oops. newrepublic.com/article/2012...

It's International #ObserveTheMoon Night! 🌙 The Moon is dazzlingly bright — so bright that NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory will never point at it. But there are many Solar System objects that are incredibly faint, and that’s where Rubin shines.🔭🧪

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Lately I've been doing sequence edits of pelicans diving, but for the marine life feed hitting 2k likes, how about a NEARLY FULL BODY HUMPBACK BREACH sequence? 🦑

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. Read @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social's award-winning investigation:

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

Amidst a violent crackdown, the Trump administration has set its sights on anyone monitoring its expanding immigration enforcement operations—and it’s turning to major tech companies to help, writes Free Press advocacy director Jenna Ruddock.

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

According to a photo of a private text on the phone of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Argentina responded to the treasury secretary’s $20 billion bailout by turning around and removing its export taxes on soybeans & striking a huge new deal with China. China then immediately pulled out of its...

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

Chevron refinery in El Segundo exploded and burned last night. Here's the view from my house. Some things to know. 🧵

"While I am no longer your colleague, I ask that each of you continue to do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons. Follow the facts and the law. Stand up for what we all believe in our Constitution and the rule of law. Our country depends on you" www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/p...

NEW: The same day Pres. Trump announced a link b/t Tylenol & autism, Aaron Siri, Kennedy's former campaign lawyer, petitioned the FDA to add a warning. He told me that he did not know if his office, which sought clients, had any against makers of Tylenol. Gift: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/h...

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

The EDVA US Attorney's Office is one of the country's most important because it handles complex national security and terrorism cases. After the Comey case and now this, that office is in shambles.

🏆 Well done, Jimmy! #Memphis #Tennessee #StephenMiller #DonaldTrump #SchoolOfRock

Illinois state police and Cook County sheriffs just pushed protesters (and journalists) off the sidewalk and into private property near the Broadview ICE facility, some stomping/kicking protesters stuff. Attitudes vary between joy and lackluster requests people move.

Per @bjjcujo.bsky.social and my research, we use an index of racial resentment and it's effect on support for policies like affirmative action. Support is relatively stable until Obama and then opposition to racial policies climbs until the effects of racial resentment are greater than in the 90s

Happy October! 🎃 Time for some spoopy ink #darkart #inktober #crown #redart #illustration #skull

This GOP move does several things: + No votes in the House until at least October 14 + No swearing-in for Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ + No 218th signature from Grijalva on the Epstein Files discharge petition + Continues the House 'jam' of the Senate on the CR

There are 10,000 things we need to fix and change after all this. But one are laws—at the fed, state, and local levels—massively limiting when cops can hit US streets like they’re Marines charging into Falluja in 2004. These sorts of intimidation tactics are deeply anti-democratic.

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show: “The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

AOC: “What we are seeing right now is that Republicans are desperate. They have shut down the government. They are getting walloped in these negotiations because they have no plan for people and we are here to ensure every American has expanded and protected healthcare”

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

BREAKING: A federal judge says there is a realistic likelihood that the prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driven by vindictive motives — reflected in the public statements of Bondi, Blanche, Noem et al. He has ordered discovery on the question. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Good to see resolve/resilience from rank and file and House Democrats. Good on @rephuffman.bsky.social daring the republicans to abolish the filibuster ▶️ "[L]et them proceed with GOP votes and let the country see with perfect clarity who owns all the damage and destruction they're fomenting." (1/2)

I mean come on, hang it in the Louvre.

What an utter disgrace. Noem's actions to "vacate" Secretary Mayorkas' grant of TPS over the direct command in the statute that no early termination can be done was flagrantly unlawful. And yet the majority offers not a SINGLE word of explanation for why they think she could do that. Shameless!

BREAKING: Federal judge in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case finds that "there is a 'realistic likelihood of vindictiveness' that entitles Abrego to discovery" in response to his motion to dismiss the case for vindictive or selective prosecution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
