So it’s both a fake story and we have plenty of munitions, and they’ve given over 50 polygraphs to attempt to find the leaker. Makes perfect sense if you don’t think about it

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

🧵New estimates suggest the loss of international students due to Trump policies will cost the economy $3.4B per year directly. This does not take into account the downstream loss of innovation and economic contributions from the many who stay.

The appointment of Todd Blanche, as AG, is the latest sign that America is experiencing a form of personalist rule. This is a form of autocracy which organizes around the self-preservation of a leader whose private interests prevail over national ones in shaping domestic & foreign policy.

Big silver lining for Dems in Francesca Hong's loss: Wisconsin Dems tell me David Crowley at top of ticket will make state legislative wins more likely, potentially enabling flipping of both chambers to Dems. That would allow Dems to redistrict long-term. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2142...

We do agree. With this administration, invoking your Fifth Amendment rights is often the smartest course of action. They have shown a willingness to aggressively pursue and target people, so protecting your constitutional rights is more important than ever.

Yeah, trying to get the CIA to cover up your illegal action, when you’re president, is just no big deal. This says so much about JD Vance and the whole corrupt Trump crew. Unfortunately, his dismissal of a serious crime won’t even be a 12-hour news story.

‘They have screwed each other pretty badly’: tensions emerge in Netanyahu-Trump alliance
Israeli PM says he has ‘full coordination’ with US president amid reports that Washington no longer consults him Benjamin Netanyahu interrupted an uncharacteristically long silence over the Iran conflict this week with a video commentary insisting he had “full coordination” with Donald Trump, with whom he spoke “almost daily”. The insistence that all was rosy in the US-Israeli relationship followed weeks of reports in the domestic press that Israel was no longer being consulted over the Iran conflict, and even less over Pakistani-brokered peace talks. Such is the scepticism over Netanyahu’s trustworthiness among the general public and independent press that the immediate reaction among observers to his video statement was speculation that the reality could be even worse than they had imagined.

Virginia AG Jay Jones: "My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order and we are evaluating every legal pathway forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia's elections."
Attorney General Jay Jones Statement Regarding Supreme Court of Virginia Decision in Redistricting Case
RICHMOND, Va.- Attorney General Jay Jones released the following statement in response to the Virginia Supreme Court decision in Virginia's redistricting case.
"Today the Supreme Court of Virginia has chosen to put politics over the rule of law by issuing a ruling that overturns the April 21st special election on redistricting. This decision silences the voices of the millions of Virginians who cast their ballots in every corner of the Commonwealth, and it fuels the growing fears across our nation about the state of our democracy.
As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws on the books and defend the will of the people. Before the Court, my office clearly laid out both in filings and oral arguments that this constitutional amendment process and voter ratification occurred in a timely, constitutionally-compliant, and legally sound manner.
The Republican-led majority of the Supreme Court of Virginia contorted the plain language of the Constitution and Code of Virginia to give it a meaning that was never intended, which allowed them to reach the wrong legal conclusion that fit their political agenda. The consequences of their error are grave.
The strength and stability of our democracy depends on adherence to the rule of law, the execution of free and fair elections where every eligible voter can cast their ballots to choose their leaders, and public trust in the institutions that provide accountability and protect our democratic processes. This Court's ruling follows a dangerous trend of tilting power away from the people.
My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order and we are evaluating every legal pathway forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia's elections."
