I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe? Super duper.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

This is Trump’s FCC pick. By threatening to yank broadcast licenses, he is hoping the media companies obey in advance and won’t say critical things about Trump. It’s a fascist tactic.

Tweet by @BrendanCarrFCC: "Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows. Media companies must operate in the public interest, or they will be held accountable under the Communications Act." The tweet quotes a Los Angeles Times article titled, "How Trump's FCC chief pick could make life more difficult for media companies"

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.

Post showing precipitous decline of share of deaths in Massachusetts from diseases for which vaccines are now available, from 70% in 1840 to low digits % by 1950-60 where it is stayed.

Caption: There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination.

Massachusetts is one of those places.

From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.

I wonder if people understand that ICE is supposed to deport criminals right now. But, they can’t find them, probably because they are criminals and good at hiding from cops. When it comes to mass deportation it is going to be the most law abiding who go first, because they are easiest to find.

Last month, the so-called American Academy of Sciences and Letters gave a medal to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who advocated for mass COVID infection. NY Post framed it as a “top award.” We looked into it. AASL is 2 years old—part of a right-wing dark money network trying to transform elite universities.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

The overtime rule is one of the most far-reaching economic reforms that President Joe Biden has fought for.
