I’m shocked the FBI Director who refused to leave the plane when it landed in Utah after Kirk’s death until they found him an FBI raid jacket (it took awhile to track down a female agent who wore a size that fit Patel) hasn’t cracked the case at Brown.

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

Meanwhile, Iowa Republicans removed HPV and the HPV vaccine from the mandatory sex ed curriculum in 2023. So in many Iowa schools, pre-teens and teenagers are no longer learning that there's a vaccine that could prevent many types of cancer.
While the US continues to regress in public health progress, 🇦🇺 Australia is on track to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035. HPV vaccines 💉 and strong GP-led screening programs cut cases in young women to zero -- showing prevention and early detection really work!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

During the legislative session I listened to a bunch of committee or floor discussions on proposals to address the physician shortage. Several Democrats pointed out that doctors don't want to work in states that interfere with best practices, coddle anti-vax propaganda, etc.
When i lived in IA, it was a purple state. In the last 20 years, IA took a hard right turn and its politics are indistinguishable from Alabama's, complete with abortion ban and regressive taxes. Now they have horrible brain drain and credulously wonder what caused it.

Iowa needs more doctors. Here's what physicians say must change.
New policy wins — including $150 million for residency expansion and new prior-authorization rules — are giving Iowa physicians hope, but health leaders warns real improvements will take years.

It is true that no one has grasped this scope.

But there are ways to deal with it.

First, track the way that Kristi Noem is converting it to personal grift, like her propaganda campaign.

Next, illustrate how this is a funding shift, from things Americans like to body snatching they hate.
The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Every time Republicans get the keys to the bus, they drive it straight into the Ditch
“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy
Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoning—and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to.

Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?
