MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Thanks to the Senate Republicans we are suffering from the worst of the worst - all lacking expertise, incompetent, corrupt and immoral. Hegseth, Noem, Kennedy, Bondi, Wright, Zelden, Gabbard, Canon. And doing it with our taxpayer dollars.

This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.

They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.

Shameful disinformation will not make the planet's--yes, human-caused--warming go away.
It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Sen Bill Cassidy, a liver-disease MD, complains about this ruling, as I am doing.

Here's the difference: He, personally, could have prevented all the resulting casualties, by casting the swing vote against RFK Jr. That's a power the other 330+ million of us lacked.

NPR fights Trump's executive order against public media

The case isn't getting much attention.

But it pits the press's right not to face government retaliation over coverage against the president's assertion of vast executive powers

One thing about the Biden admin. is that, two or three levels down, there were tons of smart, focused, pro-social people doing great things that never rose to the level of a headline.

Conversely, an enormous amount of the damage Trumpies are doing never makes the news.
