West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Commentary: RFK Jr. reportedly puts anti-vaxxer in charge of studying debunked link between vaccines and autism
The claim of a link between vaccines and autism has been decisively debunked. Why has RFK Jr. put one of its promoters in charge of investigating it?

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

The biggest problem with putting plans for bombing Yemen in a group chat is that THE UNITED STATES HAS BOMBED YEMEN ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED TIMES SINCE 2002, NOT INCLUDING THE ILLEGAL CLUSTER MUNITIONS AND OTHER WEAPONS WE GAVE THE SAUDIS TO ALSO USE TO BOMB YEMEN.
WE SHOULD STOP BOMBING YEMEN.

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.
These are already death camps.

I’m keeping a rough tally of just the cuts I’ve heard about from my immediate colleagues, and we’re currently at around -$35M 😵💫 These are programs around such trivial things as:
- making childbirth safer
- housing for adults with autism
- rural healthcare
- preventing heat stroke in Phoenix

Hegseth should resign, but so should every single person in that group chat. They all ought to have known better.
This includes JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, Scott Bessent and John Ratcliffe. They all need to resign and should face criminal charges for mishandling classified information.

Bernie Sanders isn't an uwu smol bean. He's a fucking senior Senator. If you can't call him out when he sticks his foot, ankle, and entire leg in his mouth doing racism, than he's useless and should be replaced.
Sorry not sorry. 🤷

If "the public" were to "rise up" Schumer would be on here every day scolding everyone and would end up being one of 15 Senate Democrats to vote for a bill called something like the Omnibus Tax Reduction and Let President Trump Napalm Protesters Act of 2025.
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

We have the most overfunded & powerful military in the world. A military they have used against citizens before and won't hesitate to use again.
Bc of the years of disinformation, cuts to education, & the 2nd Amendment, we have to be strategic.
US resistance looks different bc it HAS to be.

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."
