Phillip: He denied being briefed on the files, which he was.
He denied knowing Prince Andrew, despite pictures of them together, including at mar-a-lago.
And he denied being on Epstein's plane when he had many times.

THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting. Pass it on.

Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going?
When her appointment as director of national intelligence is vetted, the Senate should scrutinize her political operation.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

On the one hand, Trump’s tariffs would create an economic disaster.
On the other hand, it’s a lot harder to consolidate authoritarianism when you’ve tanked the economy.

A small percentage of dairy workers in Michigan and Colorado had antibodies from the highly virulent H5N1 bird flu in their blood.
This means that there have already been a number of undetected human cases in the US.

Early in my own review of how to cover American politics where they are headed.
No big idea. No theory of the case. One small thought, though. Make it three-sided rather than two. Habitually, I mean. The MAGA movement, the GOP, the Democrats. Lapsing into "the two party system" can only mislead.

I keep seeing this Trump where he says the Elon/Vivek vanity advisory committee will be “the Manhattan Project of its era” and I think it raises the question of what, exactly, Trump thinks the Manhattan Project did.

Every day each of us doesn’t say or do something to protest this insanity is a day we contribute to making it seem normal and making it harder eventually to undo.
So don’t let a day go by without registering your resistance — and refusing to signal your resignation!

One of the best things we can do moving forward is to ORGANIZE LOCALLY. We don't need to wait for mid-term elections to be upon us. We need to influence and participate in local politics/organizations NOW in order to affect change.
