The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

Vaccines have NOTHING to do with autism, despite RFK Jr.'s HHS pressuring the CDC to investigate this robustly debunked idea. We've updated our article on how to be pro-vaccine without harming autistic people. Pls read & share, if you can:

We need to be careful about pro-vaccine arguments when autism is involved—so we don't reinforce negative stereotypes about autistic people.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

The image of Vance touching down in Vermont and immediately getting yelled at by the whitest people imaginable in puffer vests and Merrill boots with wall-to-wall lifetime Vermont Public Radio memberships is extremely gratifying

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh? @RBReich

One of the weirdest bits from Elon's Oval Office appearance yesterday was when he boasted that DOGE is so transparent all of its actions are listed online. As Anna reports here, the actual DOGE web presence is locked down and blank.

Elon Musk is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire. Imagine if his wealth was capped at $999M, and we taxed the rest (~$239B).

We could:

End homelessness: $20B

End hunger: $40B annually to 2030

Build homes: 710K new homes at $308K each

A trillion for one or a future for all?

Several states, including Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee, have barred groups from sending free books to prisoners, citing fears of contraband. Advocates say that is not a cause for concern.

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.
