X fined €120m by the EU for breaking the law, instead of paying his dues and following the law, the billionaire criminal Elon Musk proceeded to have a public crash out and shriek that the EU should be "abolished."

We are underreacting to this‼️

We have no explanation on SCOTUS decisions affecting our lives.

The emergency docket, aka “shadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.

If Virginia Democrats follow through with a new 10-1 congressional map and a couple of other Dem states make small changes, Trump's gambit to rig the 2026 maps will be remembered as an epic blunder.

My god, it really does just get worse and worse, which is really saying something given that it started as a war crime and murder
NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

I feel nauseous.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

It’s almost like he didn’t know the goal was death and destruction.
You case a vote to confirm Kennedy, knowing he wasn't qualified. You need to take some responsibility here.

It is easy to feel discouraged.

But we want to thank the many public health professionals, like Dr. Deb Houry, who continue to fight. Sharing her powerful op-ed.

And a huge thank to all the current and former CDC career staff who work tirelessly to protect all people. 💚

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come.

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.

The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

Trump has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a boon for big corporations.

His Big Ugly Bill, which slashed Medicaid and SNAP, also gave corporations $16B in new depreciation tax breaks this year.

A windfall for the wealthy at your expense.

Millions of Americans watch @cbsnews.com—I do, too. That’s why I’m investigating whether the network’s content is now controlled by journalists or by Trump censors. His tactics are straight out of Putin’s Russia or Xi’s China.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.

So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.
