Republican members of Congress need to be pressed on where their line is for Trump and to say so publicly. If there is a line then they need to be on the record, and if there isn’t, they need to be asked what exactly their job is.

I’m starting to think the only person Trump ever hired who was actually qualified to do her job was Stormy Daniels.

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

My work involves studying how aging impacts immunity…why are older folks more susceptible to infections like flu & pneumonia? If we can figure this out, we may be able to keep folks healthier as they get older.

Does anyone else want to share their research?

Hey NIH funded scientists, we need to do this. From my experience folks are really interested in the cool research that we are doing
Imagine if university presidents instead of cowering, called up their faculty too speak in a round-the-clock marathon across the nation about how their research serves every American who has ever faced illness and disease.

I don't think even magas voted to give Edolf their social security numbers.
Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
