Democrats need to call Republicans what they are: un-American. Every Republican going along with Trump’s destruction wears that label, and it’s time to make them own it. Watch LP’s Stuart Stevens on MSNBC:

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

In Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula, May1 was too rainy and windy to demonstrate. Today we come out in our small town in a red district with the veterans!

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be:

We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

Again I reiterate, the Warn-on-Forecast project is the culmination of stellar work done by all of us on the team. We’ve heard the success stories, we know the community support, and we have so much to learn to make it even better.

This is ONE example of bleeding-edge research that deserves to stay.
This literally life-saving advance weather warning program is under attack because it's part of NOAA. When you're calling and writing to your reps, please consider putting a word in for it too.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.
The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests
In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexico—a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

I feel like this should be a bigger story. This is how the state takes over the will of the people. The logical conclusion of the majority under the rule of a minority.
New: Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday signed the first law of this year’s legislative session, a bill creating a new regulation-cutting agency inspired by Elon Musk’s federal Department of Government Efficiency.

The first bill to reach Abbott’s desk this session creates a regulation-cutting state agency under the purview of the governor. It was passed with bipartisan supermajorities.

A plea.

Can we stop declaring this a “constitutional crisis?”

It’s bigger.

It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures.

“Constitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis

It’s bigger.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
