Pritzker: As a Ukrainian American Jew who built a holocaust museum… let me say this to Donald Trump: Stop tearing down the constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.

Let me state unequivocally: I do not believe @schumer.senate.gov is the literal impersonation of spineless cowardice, a craven husk of flaccid ideals masquerading as the floppiest invertebrate, a writhing worm awaiting the boot.

But he all too frequently has created that impression via his actions.
Ah yes, who could forget the obvious distinction between being an antisemite and "creating the feeling of safe harbor for far-right elements who unabashedly or in coded language express antisemitic sentiments"

Hurting farmers *and* the needy in one fell swoop. And for what?
The USDA has notified the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services earlier this month that it would terminate the agreement for the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program, which is one of the programs NC food banks participate in.

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.

Vaccines prevent measles.

Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is literally a matter of life and death.

People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable.

EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work.

"Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP.

So much government efficiency going on.

What a joke.

So it is possible to stand up to DOGE. Hm. Don't want to hear any more garbage about letting teens with lanyards steal our data because Elon said so.

This is the whole point. They know they don't have the cards and are hoping you'll fold before you find out.
“Undeterred, Marocco and DOGE threatened a security guard with a lawsuit and told the building’s property manager that they would bring in U.S. Marshals and the Secret Service unless they were given access to USADF. Their threats were unsuccessful.”
JUST IN: The head of the US African Development Foundation is suing Peter Marocco and DOGE — and he is describing in detail the standoff in which he blocked DOGE from entering the agency's offices.
