RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

The Sopranos is probably the Rosetta Stone of modern American reaction: it consists of people who bemoan the loss of an imagined past they mainly got from movies, claim victimization based on identity but hate when others do it, and view the people who build the society they prey on as suckers.

This is an incredibly important way to explain what is happening with this admin disappearing Mahmoud Khalil. I am glad to hear a senator finally say these words so clearly.

The United States is a rogue state that’s now launched an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico.
It’s time for countries, especially its former allies, to form an alliance to make the US feel the consequences of its actions and to break their dependence on US tech once and for all.

The United States has gone rogue. There must be consequences.
Countries must form new alliances and end their dependence on US tech in response to Trump’s trade war

The quiet part out loud. But what Watters isn’t saying—and what is most critical to understand—is that the right’s entire model is top-down. It’s funded by and totally in service of capital.
The conservative movement is a corporate counterrevolution, funded by the biggest money in America.

Watters: We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign from the left…It's like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it.. and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.
