BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

NEW: Trump has signed over 100 executive orders since retaking office. Some are little more than hate-filled press releases, while many have caused unnecessary pain and hardship. But the most dangerous one is an unlawful power grab of our elections, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

Trump today: "Great Depression ... would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy." Reagan, 1988: "When Congress passed the... tariff in 1930, we were told it would protect America from foreign competition... The actual result was the Great Depression."

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Vaccines save lives!

CNN@cnn.com

Global measles cases surged by more than 20% to an estimated 10.3 million last year, WHO and the CDC said. About 107,500 people, mostly young children, died — an “unacceptable” death toll from a disease that’s preventable through vaccination, the health groups said.

Great article Thanks, Mark ❤️ Having been without insurance for a year after my husband retired until I could get ACA coverage, I learned the actual cost of healthcare doesn’t have to be so incredibly expensive.

The Signal chat itself broke numerous federal laws. Now the Signal chat participants' denials and attempts to cover up what they did will break EVEN MORE laws. Every time they open their mouths, they're incriminating themselves further. Soon they'll start pleading the Fifth.

OMG 🤬

Trump to withdraw the US from group Investigating Russia’s leadership for crimes committed against Ukrainians. Meanwhile Russia is now using drones to hunt children for sport. “We saw the drone and ran. My friend hid at home, another ran straight—then the drone dropped a bomb.” #EndImpunity

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

latimes.comA leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came alongIn a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

"If Trump proceeds in open defiance of the courts he will risk turning the huge asset of a politicized rightwing Supreme Court into a liability. More importantly, Trump may call into immediate question the legitimacy of his own authority." @davidrlurie.bsky.social on our grim future. Hold on tight.

Mitch McConnell custom-packed the courts for Trump; but now Trump and Musk want to defy judges. The price for that defiance could be huge for Trumpers, and the nation, as I discuss in PN.

THE REASON THAT FEMA EXISTS IS BECAUSE STATES COULD NOT DEAL WITH LARGE SCALE DISASTERS BY THEMSELVES *IN THE 1970S.* Now the disasters are bigger, there are homeland security threats, and this guy wants to roll us back 50 years.

Trump: "FEMA is gonna be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I'd rather see the states takes care of their own problems."
