Dr. Catharine Young: We are now at 1136 new measles cases - in just the first 8 weeks of this year alone. A preventable disease resurging. This is an abject policy failure.

We actually glossed over this too quickly. Someone made half a million dollars insider trading on a coup. This is a fucking problem, folks.

I am grateful for @repshontelbrown.bsky.social

SCHIFF just asked who made the decision to waive Ghislaine Maxwell's sex offender status. Patel says the Bureau of Prisons made the call. Even though the Bureau of Prisons has NEVER ONCE in HISTORY waived someone's sex offender status to move them to a minimum security camp.

Seems like as good a time as any to reshare my story on the Coffee County voting system breach, which details the key role Giuliani played in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...

There was an interesting question I saw from someone recently that was asking why there are no historians writing "for the other side." Essentially, why are there no "pro-Trump Heather Cox Richardsons?" The answer lies in our training.

pt.2 Worse yet, I see almost NO row crops. No lettuce, no carrots, no beans, no tomatoes, no chilis. Nada! I have NEVER seen that before. All i see are nut trees and WAY more corn than usual. Nuts are high profit, corn goes to biofuel distillers and both are mechanically harvested.

I drive from SoCal up through California's central valley on a regular basis for work. Like 2-3 times a month or more. Hundreds of miles, on freeways and back roads. This year, I've noticed that a LOT of fields are fallow. Plowed and not planted. Lots of grape vines either dying or cut down.

Wait. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Medicaid recipients could replace immigrant farmworkers. Is she daft? Does she have any idea why folks are on Medicaid? Or what’s involved in picking crops? My goodness.

The DOJ wants you to move on. The Epstein client list? Gone, they say. I’m not buying it. Here’s why you shouldn’t either.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

ICE just became the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the entire country. There’s no telling what Trump is planning to unleash now.

Today’s #NoKings rally in Dublin, CA “Why Dublin?”, you ask. Well, ICE is trying to convert an abandoned prison into an ICE detention facility. This was a prison that was known to be abusive to the people incarcerated there. For more info on stopping this from happening: www.bayresistance.org

Al Gore ripped the Trump administration to shreds in a speech Monday at a climate week event in San Francisco.

"China calmly walked over to the supply chain and yanked out a handful of critical bolts... The materials China just restricted aren’t random. They’re chosen with the precision of someone who’s read U.S. product spec sheets and defense procurement orders." Indium: touchscreens, TV displays, etc

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

@statisticurban.bsky.social: “The DoD has removed the article on Charles Roger's Medal of Honor. He served in Vietnam. Despite being wounded three times in battle, rallied his troops & led them to victory in defense of Support Base Rita. Nixon presented his Medal. The url is changed to "deimedal.”

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

The destruction of public education and its replacement by private institutions will simply result in schools whose main function will be indoctrination not education.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

With Elon Musk and some congressional Republicans calling for the impeachment of judges because … they ruled against the Trump administration, today’s “One First” looks at the history of federal judicial impeachments—and why their rarity has been a good thing: www.stevevladeck.com/p/128-impeac...

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Let the Ukrainian people know that trump & other members of the regime DO NOT represent us. Please participate in POSTCARDS TO UKRAINE! Send a postcard to Ukranian's U.S. Embassy to show your support. Don't call, write; postcards can be shared to the people. Slava Ukraini 🌻🇺🇦 PLEASE SHARE!

Christiane Amanpour’s reaction to the Oval Office ambush has me shook. I feel like she’s seen it all. I think she knows this was staged because Trump and Vance don’t want peace unless Putin gets it all.

Fascist dictators can only become fascist dictators by enslaving their people with poverty, illness, violence, and terror. It’s how they overcome our resistance. That’s why Trump, Elon, and Putin are doing this to us. They can only win by Making America Weak, Sick, and Poor.

The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...

What will you do when Idaho comes to your town?

Federal workers at a Virginia town hall last night—this says it all! “I know their goal is to make us miserable.” — so they don’t show up to work. And Dems, take note: People aren’t here for your ill-timed, tone-deaf donation requests. It’s going to backfire. They want to see you fight for them!
