PSA: We heard about this thing called ENCHANT out in Arcadia. It's billed as a holiday lights thing with food, mini golf, a ferris wheel, a maze, ice skating! Sounds fun!

The reality: you pay over $40 to walk around a parking lot carnival with hour-long waits for everything.

It's terrible.

“My ancestors came here on the Mayflower”

So they were undocumented immigrants who survived with the help of the very indigenous people whose descendants ICE is now harassing because they look brown?

Trump began this administration with an executive order attacking offshore wind. A federal court held it to be illegal.

Destruction is easy, Pinocchiogles — what’s the solution?

If you really want to stick it to the insurance companies you should support Medicare for All. Otherwise you’re just telling Tennesseans you’re ok with their suffering.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

🎯 "The U.S. should be funding expanded use of the HepB birth dose in G-B and not experimenting"
A couple more thoughts on the HepB vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau that RFK Jr. just funded.

-A single-blind study is concerning

-The endpoints are unclear, setting up an opportunity for p-hacking

-The U.S. should be funding expanded use of the HepB birth dose in G-B and not experimenting

Top story on Washington Post v Democracy Docket.

Federal law does not allow Trump cronies to change the name of the Kennedy Center, yet The Washington Post both-sides.

Federal law does not allow DOJ to access your voter data, DD headline is clear.

-CDC giving *unsolicited* grant (i.e. cronyism) for Hepatitis B vaccine study in Guinea-Bissau
-One in 5 ppl infected with Hep B there - so babies will be at higher risk of getting Hep B 😮
-We should be vaccinating at birth to prevent Hep B.

👉 DEEPLY UNETHICAL STUDY. WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
CDC awards $1.6 million for new hepatitis B vaccine study in Guinea-Bissau. Although the award recipients aren't named, the grant seems tailored to Danish researchers whose work is championed by anti-vaxxers but challenged by mainstream scientists.

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

This is a developing story...
