This is an important fact:

The far right is circulating a deceptive petition that will make it harder for women, people of color and low-income residents to vote. If you’re asked to sign “Americans for Citizen Voting,” decline to sign it. Thank you.

“Children are dying while 6,000 trucks with food wait a few miles away,” say CPC leaders Reps. Greg Casar, Ilhan Omar and Chuy Garcia. “We demand Trump use U.S. leverage to ensure that Israel fully restores international aid access to Gaza. It is not too late to save millions of lives.”

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

When David Brooks joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won, Brooks writes.

Outrageous. As is everything this administration is doing. The problem is that this one will make it hard to ever un-do any of it.
BREAKING: In a 52-45 vote, the Senate confirms Harmeet Dhillon, a Trump ally and lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, the department's chief enforcer of voting rights.
