I was afraid it would be 2021 all over again b/c Dems are complicit. Can we agree on that yet? Can there be another explanation? No accountability, no restoring the guardrails, just brush it off and pretend it’s 2015. Whose interests do endless death elections serve?

NIH funds should be used to improve the health of Americans.
Far from siphoning money away from research, this partnership between @NIH and @DeptofWar focuses on research projects that will drive discoveries to improve the health of American citizens and members of the military.
Led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, all work will be 100% aligned with our public health mission.

Trump aide Natalie Harp worked at the White House without security clearance for a year
The close aide to the president, known to filter much of the information reaching the commander-in-chief, ultimately relented in recent months after pressure from White House staff.

In case you were wondering what type of speech is acceptable to Facebook these days
from futurism:

"Another comment posted under a news bulletin about the Dearborn hysteria literally says “I hope we kill people” in reply to a comment seething that the “first shot has to be heard somewhere,” neither of which have been taken down after we reported them for calling for violence."

“The idea wasn’t just to retroactively protect ‘the babies of slaves’; it was to prospectively forestall future efforts to deny citizenship based on whatever other non-sovereignty-based criteria might be politically popular in any given moment.” Me on why Trump’s new EO is *still* unconstitutional:

A staggering 55 people have died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. But the agency's official death toll record-keeping doesn't account for people like Prisciliano, whose health deteriorated in detention but died shortly after the agency released him from custody to be hospitalized.

Actually read through the documents Trump released last night and they show basically the opposite of what he claimed. It shows that Russia aggressively sought to interfere on behalf of Trump in 2020. China explored it but thought the backlash would be too much and stayed out.

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
The Roberts Court has been turning anti-discrimination law upside down for years. Its approach came into particular focus in May, with Louisiana v. Callais, in which it determined that not allowing Louisiana’s government to dilute Black votes was racist. In that case, Alito insisted that forcing the state to draw a second majority-Black congressional district would be an “unconstitutional racial gerrymander” because Republicans were entitled to discriminate against Black voters if they argued that their purpose was partisan instead of racist. The Court reaffirmed that position in a subsequent case dealing with Alabama, after a lower court had found ample evidence of deliberate racial discrimination, as opposed to the discriminatory effect of the Louisiana map.

Mullin now sets up an even more impossible double standard. If the government wants to discriminate against Black people, any pretext will do. “As long as there is a plausible basis—any plausible articulable basis—for the government’s action, then the Court will look to that basis as sufficient,” Aderson Francois, a law professor at Georgetown University, told me, “even in the face of evidence that government actors were motivated by animus.” If a Black person wants to prove they’ve been discriminated against, however, no amount of evidence will suffice.
