I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife?

HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS?

I know others have gone into detail throughout the day, but I just want to make sure I highlight how important Judge Paula Xinis's order from today in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case is.

It is about discovery — the evidence the gov't is to turn over — but her points are sharp and the context is key.

DHS said she was a terrorist sympathizer and “involved in activities supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization." Revoked visa, but offered no evidence.

Social media was pro-Gaza, but she said she did not attend any protest. Offered no due process.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Aviation weather. That's what I'm thinking about right now. Aviation weather.

You can not fly IFR without certified weather.
I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies.

There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Just so we're clear, the first major powers to leave the League of Nations were Japan and Germany, in 1933, and we all know why Germany left in 1933
So we’re going to leave NATO and the UN because some drug-using rich guy decided we should at 9:53 pm on a Saturday?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

Stand with us. Support LGBTQIA+ arts. Raise your voice.

HMKC stands in unwavering solidarity with our siblings at Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC whose concert at the Kennedy Center was canceled without explanation—another blatant attack on LGBTQIA+ representation in the arts.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls
Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private.

Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene.

This is totally normal. Everything is fine.
BREAKING on @MSNBC:

The Justice Department is firing more than a dozen officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith's team.

Acting Attorney General James McHenry claims the officials could not be trusted in "faithfully implementing the president's agenda."

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.
