DefSec Pete Hegseth was asked at Pentagon presser about the US intelligence community conclusion that Iran was NOT proceeding with a nuclear weapons program. He refused to answer and praised Donald Trump. That’s one big tell.

Anti-ICE/pro union and worker protest in New Orleans. The forced disappearance of people cannot be accepted. (It was peaceful.) We the people will stand up against fascism and for democracy!

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

After years of falsely claiming that MMR vaccines cause autism, RFK Jr. has published a new op-ed on Fox’s website encouraging people to get the vaccine amid a measles outbreak that has already resulted in the death of a school-aged child.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Trump shouting at Zelensky, a true leader, is a shameful televised example of bullying. I am embarrassed to be an American. Zelensky showed true class and restraint, something Trump and Vance will never have.

Trump just said "millions" have been killed by fentanyl. Not so. About 70K annually in past few years. Tragic number, indeed. But he's way off. Also claims US gave more than 3X in aid to Ukraine than Europe. Untrue. Says Soc. Sec. checks are going to people who are 200 y.o. Nope. It's a lie-a-thon.

Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today - makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there

I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

Right-to-repair legislation has now been introduced in all 50 states. The movement to require companies to make their products repairable and give people the tools to do repair work is immensely popular across the country. Via @404media.co: www.404media.co/all-50-state...

All 50 States Have Now Introduced Right to Repair Legislation
The legislation hasn't yet passed everywhere, but all 50 states introducing some form of right to repair legislation is a "tipping point” for the right to repair movement.
