Last week Noem tried to turn airports into propaganda theaters, w/ security checkpoints playing video blaming Democrats for the govt shutdown. 19 major airports, including JFK, Seattle-Tacoma, Phoenix, Denver, Boston-said no. The Hatch Act (the LAW) prohibits such abuse

this administration clearly wants all Americans to die unless they're billionaires

MMWR stole the show in the first round of headlines about CDC cuts but in the chaos, many missed that the NHANES mobile team remains RIF'd. This is the backbone of this key survey that contains some of the only representative anthropometric, biochemical, clinical and dietary data on the country.

STAT @statnews.com · 23h

Protecting the nation’s public health demands data, whether it be new measles cases, a surge in ER visits, or shifting patterns in obesity. The most recent job cuts at the CDC threaten the mostly unseen foundation of that research enterprise.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

My mission as AG is to help you afford your life, so I’m suing these fraudulent contractors to recover the hard-earned money they stole from Minnesotans.

If you've been ripped off by these bogus contractors, or any other scam, I encourage you to file a complaint with my office: ag.state.mn.us.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?

Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

If the media won't report on it, we need to personally tell everyone we know. The msm is making themselves obsolete, and it's time we learned to bypass them.

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

New speaker would still be a republican, but we couldn't do worse.

Old Barbie is such an arrogant and entitled B#TCH! Drunk on the power the POTUS (Pedophile of the United States) gave her. I hope she sees her day in court once this circus comes to an end.
