From pu$$y grabbing and praising white supremacists as "very fine people" to Hitler jokes -- this is what happens when leaders model their bad behavior to young people. It creates an imprimatur for all the hatred and evil to be unleashed freely.

Typically, when you are mobilizing the armed forces against your own people, you’re not a leader of courage and integrity, and you’re not a contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.

So let me get this straight -- we are in a government shutdown here in the US but the Trump admin is bailing out Argentina, led by an anarchocapitalist President Milei who hates government???

David Gura @davidgura.bsky.social · 6d

Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. has “directly purchased Argentine pesos,” and the Treasury Department has “finalized a $20 billion currency swap framework with Argentina’s central bank.”

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

Imagine opening a letter saying your health insurance costs are about to rise by thousands, even tens of thousands, next year.

That’s the reality for millions of Americans later this month if we don’t extend ACA tax credits.

I won’t stand by while people are priced out of the care they need.

The quackery gets worse -- now "circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic" according to RFK Jr. Please make this madness STOP.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 6d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Looks like Israel and Hamas have signed off on a ceasefire deal. No, we don’t have peace in the Middle East yet, but we do seem to have a first step towards the end of the war and closure for families of hostages. I only hope for the best for all hurt by the horror launched on Oct 7 2 years ago.

Miller’s goal is to supplant the rule of law with the “rule of Trump,” a personalist form of rule that answers to Trump & no one else.

Pritzker & Newsom see that Trump is a dangerous threat to our way of life & are meeting this moment.

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Apple yanked ICEBlock after law enforcement pressure, labeling it objectionable. The app crowdsourced ICE sightings, hit 1M users, and still works for existing downloads. AG Pam Bondi threatened the developer. Waze and Google Maps remain.
