More than 130,000 government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning.” A group of librarians and archivists is fighting back.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

—Gov. JB Pritzker

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan walk into a bar. The bartender serves them tainted alcohol because there are no regulations. They die.

Take a look at our story, and Ben's gorgeous photography, to get better understand the human impact of Trump's threat to deport millions of people.

“For my next attention seeking trick, I will have you concentrate on Greenland, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Panama Canal—instead of my absurdly unqualified cabinet picks or that I have no real plans to fix the border or bring down food prices. Look, America, a rabbit!”

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are no longer in the Senate.

But the damage they've done to our political system on behalf of Big Money will linger for years.

Memo to Democrats: you can't win back working-class voters by following corporate cronies like Manchinema.

Let’s talk about Direct File.

It’s a free, easy way for people to file their taxes directly online with IRS.

You keep your tax refund — rather than paying $150 to a sleazy tax prep company.

It’s more efficient!

But these Republicans want you to keep wasting money on TurboTax.

Biden's NLRB has made it easier for workers to unionize and cracked down on anti-union practices like captive audience meetings.

Like his first term, Trump's NLRB will likely be staffed with union-busting hacks who will reverse these gains.

Who's really on the side of workers?

The rules apply to everyone else, not his own family.


In honor of Nikki Giovanni passing:
