Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.

We’ve gotten more information about our downed aircraft from the Iranian government than we have gotten from our own.

As Trump's family businesses invest heavily in crypto... -He's instructing the government to ease up on regulating the industry -His SEC is dropping major lawsuits against crypto companies -His DOJ terminated a team focused on crypto crimes. See the problem?

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

There’s no difference between watching CNN today and watching CNN a few years ago. Trump’s goons will be goose stepping through DC and CNN’s chyrons will still be wondering whether Biden is in the throes of cognitive decline. Good work— finger on the pulse, guys!

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

Guns are the leading cause of death for children in America. We are failing our nation's children by letting NRA-backed politicians (almost all of one party) stand in the way of meaningful gun reform.

Bezos and Zuckerberg's million dollar payments to Trump, Joe & Mika going down to MAL to kiss the ring, CNN making Trump appendage Scott Jennings the face of its coverage, and now ABC handing Trump $15 million for a hugely winnable defamation case. Is all of legacy media going to kowtow to Trump?

Remember when Republicans had fainting spells over JUST Jen Psaki taking a job at MSNBC, decrying the apparent "revolving door" between the Dems and the network? Apparently *that's* disqualifying, but when it happens 10x as much on the right? Totally fine.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
