Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
For Liam.
This is burying the lede that the man the white supremacist punched in the face at a CAA event at Sundance (!?) was Congressman Maxwell Frost!? What the FUCK
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this.
We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024โ25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I am still steaming about this.
Average ppl in Minnesota are putting their bodies on the line. Priests are fearlessly staring down guns. ICE is gassing ppl and snatching kids.
And this fucking coward canโt call for using power to stop ICE?
The โprosecute the former regime at every levelโ candidate has my vote in 2028.
Itโs not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldnโt have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
Itโs about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isnโt. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened thatโs on the cutting room floor? I donโt think thereโs anything I missed that I wish Iโd gotten. Iโll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, โShould I smile or not smile?โ and I said, โHow would you want to be portrayed?โ We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, โYou know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.โ And I looked at him and I said, โYou know, you do, too.โ

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.
Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now sheโs at Brown, and it happened again.
โHonestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.โ

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the publicโs right to know over their own bottom lines.
When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, itโs not a win for free speech. Itโs a win for oligarchy.

The job that dictates the lookโand safetyโof our built environment is taking a hit from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act."

If your Democratic Rep or Senator is too busy condemning socialism and not working towards lowering your housing costs, utilities, or working towards Medicare for all.. They're not working for you. They're working for large corporations and billionaires.
Huge victory for Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office. He stuck to his guns, spoke about affordability, proudly declared himself a Democratic Socialist, condemned genocide in Gaza, did not back down from calling Trump a โfascist,โ and still got Trump to praise him, undermining months of GOP attacks.

If youโve been looking for an alternative to funding establishment Dems who are cowards at the end of the day, please look into WFP. This grassroots party has done a significant amount of work over the years to elect progressives and make real change.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yesโthey agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.
Eric Adams decided to use his last weeks in office to betray all women on behalf of big corporations.
Today he vetoed the Cabรกn-Farรญas Pay Equity Package, which is designed to shrink the gender pay gap.
This is photo journalism at its best. Perfectly summarizes this narcissistic POS. Trump stands aloof & empty, possibly even annoyed, while his guest suffers next to him. The personโs feet pointing up at him โ a directional reminder what brought us all here. Andrew Harnik of Getty deserves a Pulitzer
serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.
I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.
