I said what I said
Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons.
It doesn’t say you’re only supposed to count U.S. citizens.
Trump says you’ve got to redo the census but can’t include “illegals”? Tough shit—the Constitution says otherwise.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...
A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr.
CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Trump's syphilitic-emperor routine yanking tariffs up and down at random, and the obvious fact that he doesn't have the balls for a real fight, is about the worst imaginable situation trade-wise prospect.org/economy/2025...

Trump tries to walk back his tariffs after supply chain collapse and threats of empty store shelves. But reversing course entirely may not be possible.

if you are looking for a politics that fights for the conditions in which families can flourish you are looking for feminism. if you have ended up in “pro-natalism” you have taken several wrong turns and are surrounded by racists and eugenicists. turn back immediately and reflect on what happened

Untrustworthy will be her nickname, and this will be her meme in perpetuity.
This one is gonna stick with Whitmer her whole career because it reveals a deep truth that Americans already feel about their leaders.
Americans think their leaders operate behind closed doors, refute the truth, and betray their most basic values to advance some aspect of their personal ambition.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.
The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.
Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.
