NEW: Louisiana’s governor eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those arrested before.

New in PN: Dems win key messaging battles against Trump
"Trump’s actions are often explained as if they are all part of some big master plan, but recent days have shown him to be incredibly erratic. Dems across the ideological spectrum are taking him on and emerging stronger for it."

Every single Trump appointee lied to Congress when asked poignant questions regarding settled laws and norms in government. Junior has drug his father’s good name into the muck.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Oh look, they’re finally making it official what they’ve been doing with our data. Not that we didn’t already know that, and know that it was not only unethical, immoral, against our own historical policies, procedures, and ethics, but also illegal. But. Nice of y’all to finally say it out loud. 🤬🤬🤬
