Releasing “heavily redacted” files does not follow the law…

It violates it, and serves no purpose whatsoever.

So, now what?! 🤔

By 1:30pm today, Democracy Docket had already published that the DOJ files release was incomplete and violated federal law.

Why did it take so many legacy media outlets until this evening to come to the same conclusion?

New in PN: The legal "defense" for Trump's ballroom is a joke

"How does putting a pause on the Big Gilded Ballroom compromise national security? Well, the administration can’t say … because it would compromise national security."

Yes, there are many others to blame — even more directly — but The Atlantic and The New York Times platformed and mainstreamed those voices in America, and now trans children and their families are paying the price.

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

Four Republicans joined Democrats to force the floor vote on the ACA subsidies extension.

Though it’ll be next month, after the subsidies expire, the vote must happen to expose which lawmakers really represent people.
www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
We have 218 signatures on the discharge petition to extend the ACA premium tax credits.

But Speaker Johnson is refusing to bring the bill to the floor. Premiums are set to skyrocket on Jan. 1.

The time to act is now.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

RFK Jr. has cancelled grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics because “they no longer align with departmental priorities”.

The grants were on such topics as “reducing sudden infant death, rural access to health care, and mental health…”

The AAP has criticized RFK Jr. That’s the real reason.
