Instead of waking up every morning and thinking about how it's all going down the tubes, I keep reminding myself: There are many, many people who are keeping their heads down, doing what they can, quietly discharging their responsibilities and avoiding attention. I know some of them. Focus on that.

THE GOP’S THROWING PUNCHES—Schumer’s sending strongly worded letters.

This is why folks want Dems in Congress to spare us any future talk of “decorum”.

Republicans spent four years chasing fake Biden scandals—today they’re blocking oversight now that Trump is drowning in corruption.

Since this was published yesterday, NPR reports JAMA joins NEJM on the list of journals that confirms they’ve been sent threatening letters by Trump’s DOJ, ominously referencing their tax-exempt status in a bid to compel regime-friendly editorial choices.

Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion.

Trump's executive order to gut funding for public media (including NPR and PBS) will cut off news sources for millions. That’s exactly what he wants: to exert even more control over the information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all.

It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

All Harvard really needs is a screenshot of that post because under federal law, the president cannot direct the IRS to conduct tax investigations. In fact, IRS employees are required to report any such command to an inspector general.
