800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.
How about you?

Last week, we co-hosted debate night bingo with Seniors for Zohran, some of our most enthusiastic and active canvassers, at a community center in Chelsea. They were joined there by a…familiar face.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

“Are you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M on Trump’s ballroom, $150M on Trump’s golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noem’s jets - but we can’t spend a penny on lowering our healthcare

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.
Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations.
We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

Trump's autism announcement mangled evidence. But the backlash seems a bit much?
A researcher on studies finding NO link has also been a paid expert in lawsuits. And I would caution against relying on judges to decide where the strongest evidence lies.

The Harvard School of Public Health’s dean says he charged $150,000 because it took him 200 hrs to prep to be a witness—so he charges…wait for it…750 per hour 😳
The judge ruled: “He cherry-picked & misrepresented study results & refused to acknowledge the role of genetics in the etiology” 🤯

MAGA/MAHA love to cite his opinions, but he got *at least* $150,000 to be an expert witness in anti-Tylenol lawsuits.
Conflicts of interest don’t bother MAGA/MAGA world at all—in fact, they almost seem to be a requirement (see: Dr Oz selling folinic acid)

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
