How is this not a violation of 18 USC 597!? Skip right past the lack of constitutional authority to authorize or fund this, or that this would cost ~$1.2 trillion. And nevermind that the AG would never bring charges against his client. Tell me, how is this not illegal?

ICYMI, while not receiving the endorsement, the SF Chronicle called my policies thoughtful! Want someone different? An authentic progressive? A scientist? Vote Nathan Deer. #deerSF #ca11
SF Chronicle blurb: "We also spoke with no party preference candidate Nathan Deer, a biotech scientist with thoughtful views on implementing a national healthcare plan and restoring federal democratic protections"

Absolutely this. The US should not support Israel's continued genocidal conquest of Gaza, or wars against Lebanon and Iran. Gift link to article below.

A fantastic, even if only temporary, development. The HHS recent changes to vaccine schedule risk undermining the decades of progress we've made in reducing or eliminating the prevalence of diseases. Requiring ACIP members to undergo rigorous vetting is the bare minimum requirement.

I would translate the war being "very complete" to "I'm saying this so the markets don't drop any further, but we're still going to continue with this illegal war"

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that Republicans can end this shutdown whenever they want, even without engaging Democrats. The 60 vote threshold preserves the filibuster. Get rid of that, and a simple majority vote works. But they want cover for the day they're out of power.

As the judges effectively point out, again, the DOJ has significantly more evidence that it could release without judicial approval. So what's the delay?

We're at the stage of the fascism speed run, where Congress writes into the budget that courts can't hold the administration in contempt for failing to comply with court orders. If you need a place to focus your resistance, this is it. (Reposted to add alt text)

In the early 20th century, anti-tax GOPers tried to appease progressive Republicans by passing a corporate income tax, incorrectly predicting it would be so unpopular as to quell the growing income tax movement. This wasn’t their last miscalculation. By @jeisinger.bsky.social

No, President Trump, the Income Tax Wasn’t A Mistake. But It Was an Accident.
While instituting the largest tariff increase in modern history, Trump claimed that the income tax was passed for “reasons unknown to mankind” and caused the Great Depression.Here’s the real history.

Once upon a time, a Liberian man with a suspected case of Ebola entered the US. The conservative media machine responded with outrage. So far, 2 children have died from a vaccine preventable disease which had effectively been eradicated from the US. So when can we expect RFK's resignation?
