Check out the part where the White House says they have zero tolerance for violence against law enforcement. They left out a footnote: Except for pardoning people who did that on J6.

Putting aside Mike Johnson's blatant abuse of the 1st Amendment Yesterday, GOP Congressman Brett Guthrie Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Admitted that Republicans will try to cut $500-600 billion from Medicaid Which would effectively gut the entire program

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Johnson: "Do not believe the lies the Democrat Party has said. We had their ads taken down. They were running ads around the country in swing districts trying to convince people Republicans are going to 'gut Medicaid.' It's just simply not true & that's why their ads & billboards had to come down"

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Thank you, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov, for your advocacy and diligence on Mr. Garcia's behalf. If the Trump administration can do this to an innocent man, they can do the same to the rest of us. Citizens, beware.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Great explainer on the negative impact of tariffs on businesses—not just clothing- fabric, notions (like buttons, string, zippers, and ribbon), but everything that involves tangible goods: restaurants, furniture - material, wood, buttons, plastics, plastics used in packaging and medical supplies.

Thank you to @booker.senate.gov for giving voice to our stories! USAID community members met with Senator Booker’s staff last week and shared personal impact stories, which he read in full during his marathon speech! He stressed USAID’s critical role in national security.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

A THREAD 🧵 by Dr. Craig Spencer, @craigspencer.bsky.social about the Trump administration's (and Elon's) failures and lies about the ebola prevention program. 👀 #CDC #USAID

Craig Spencer MD MPH@craigspencer.bsky.social

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

bionicjones777.bsky.social reposted

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."
