Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Donald Trump is trying to dismantle public education in America.

To every public school student, teacher, and parent: this is our moment to stick together and fight back.

When I was a kid ducking under my desk during the Cuban Missile Crisis, I did not imagine that all Russia would need to “win” the Cold War was one stooge who would sell us out from within.

Fanone: The Republican party owns a monopoly on hypocrisy when it comes to their supposed support of law enforcement because tonight the leader of the Republican party pardoned hundreds of violent cop assaulters.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

When I said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being DHHS Secretary would kill people, you all understood that I was being literal, right?

To underscore: Kennedy Jr. will actually kill people. Mostly children. And only a contemptible monster like Trump would position him to do that and think nothing of it.
How RFK Jr. Falsely Denied His Connection to a Deadly Measles Outbreak in Samoa
He also championed a Samoan anti-vaxxer tied to the 2019 lethal eruption that killed scores of children.

Sen Mullin on Gaetz: “When he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl, there’s a reason why no one in the conference defended him. We all saw videos he was showing us on the House floor of girls he slept with & brag how he would crush ED medicine so he could go all night.”
