I’m a Teenager In Gaza. And I Am Starving.
What hits you first is the exhaustion carved into every face. The sickly pallor. The terrifying weight loss ravaging everyone—yes, including me.

Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

Note the use of passive voice in the headline and that the sources aren’t even placed (in the administration or Harvard) in the NYT article. The journalists shouldn’t be trusted moving forward until they demonstrate higher standards. This reporting may have influenced Brown and Cornell’s agreements.

Hassett went on TV and claimed you can’t trust the economic data anymore because all the recent revisions are partisan.
A bald-faced lie.
Every serious economist still in this administration should resign. They are actively underminding the US economy by lending their credibility to this horse****

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?
Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.

The US can afford to monitor, research, and regulate the impacts of industries on human and environmental health. We are just choosing not to.

Sayfollah Musallet should be alive today.
Instead, he was beaten to death in the West Bank by Israeli settlers, the second American killed there this year.
The State Department must lead an immediate investigation and root out settler violence once and for all.
There must be accountability.

ICE is now routinely renditioning people to third countries where there have no ties and often that country just sends them to the original home country where we know they will face persecution or torture. In violation of our laws and international treaties. Now apparently sanctioned by SCOTUS.[6/6]
