I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

The proposed rule is from OMB, the office run by Russell Vought -- who has a history of opposing government efforts to expand access to voting.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

For me, 2001-2002 marked the end of childhood & the relatively insulated bubble it provided from the “real world”. Started middle school, 9/11 happened, a classmate passed away over Thanksgiving break, & I experienced the first symptoms of what would eventually become treatment-resistant depression.

When they do this, it's not enough to reject the demand. You've got to shove it back in their face, and ask why they never ask Republicans to denounce the racist mass murderer who is their party's top donor and who was given the keys to the federal government to cause mass chaos.

They’re incredible. I work w/ newborns at a large hospital with a 100+ bed Level IV NICU and a cardiovascular unit within the PICU. Babies who transfer out go to either a smaller hospital to closer to home, or CHOP for highly specialized/multidisciplinary care. I’ve never seen them turn down a case.

regular reminder that most of the millions of projected deaths from USAID's destruction HAVE NOT HAPPENED YET—which means they can still be prevented. but this is only possible if we demand that democrats prioritize it once in power. it is a moral imperative that we actually act on these numbers

this would make it impossible to evaluate any government program that is a proposed *fix* to a health issue. people's big critique of disparities research was that it supposedly wasn't solutions focused enough. well now, you cant study the solutions.

the CDC has not updated it's cyclospora outbreak information since yesterday. that means outdated recommendations are still up. this is a direct consequence of RFK Jr.'s staff purges, and it may even be an indicator of corrupt censorship from above. one thing is for certain — it will harm people.
