What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote. They found one. One. And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

Pennsylvania's motor-voter system effectively screens non-citizens from voter registration • Pennsylvania Capital-Star
The audit also revealed problems with PennDOT’s data security protocols and recommended tighter internal controls.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.
Simon Maechling & @simonmaechling
Follow
RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism.
And then he'll push the "cure": leucovorin (folinic acid).
Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb.
The same Dr. Oz who is now the
Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's administration.
Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr's bogus
"cure."
This isn't public health.
It's corruption dressed up as wellness.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

26 of the 31 states that were won by Trump last year have homicide rates higher than New York City's. Mississippi's rate is about 4 times NYC's rate. Alabama's rate is about 3 times NYC's rate. But you don't hear the Trump regime talking about crime in the GOP-run states of Mississippi and Alabama.

Like we’ve been saying. Republicans are going to kick millions of people off their health care.
Screenshot of a Tweet that reads:

BREAKING -- A new CBO analysis shows that several policies Republicans are considering for slashing Medicaid spending would lead to millions of people losing health insurance coverage.

The analysis, requested by Democrats, says that per capita caps for the Medicaid expansion population would save $225 billion in federal spending and result in 1.5 million more uninsured people by 2034. Blocking provider taxes could save $668 billion and lead 3.9 million to lose coverage, per CBO.
