Trump to Newt Gingrich: Newt, you agree that I won Georgia in 2020? Good. Otherwise I'd have him dismissed immediately

Trump has killed a total of 27 people in targeted strikes of vessels in the Caribbean Sea.

@jahimes.bsky.social and I discussed this very issue yesterday right before Trump blew up yet another boat killing all 6 aboard.

As Felon Trump calls Democrats “terrorists,” he has also unilaterally declared cartels “designated terrorist organizations.”

@jahimes.bsky.social wants answers from the Admin about what’s going on & why Trump thinks he’s legally justified to do extrajudicial killings.

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

During Yom Kippur, all the members of the High Energy Physics Advisory Committee (HEPAP), myself included, received a letter thanking us for our service and telling us essentially that the almost 40 yo standing federal advisory committee was no more. ⚛️🧪🔭

This is a generational race.

It’s about old ideas vs new ideas. About whether Democrats win by fighting for serious structural change — or lose to Susan Collins yet again by doing more of the same.
