The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

when I was a college student in 1989 Planned Parenthood found a lump on my neck. I came home for the summer with a biopsy referral. It turns out I had thyroid cancer. Thank you Planned Parenthood! Clinics are medical offices. America we have to rise up against this tyranny. All of us. Every time.
I want to be clear: this provision will defund Planned Parenthood. Clinics that provide life-saving care like cancer screenings will be forced to close their doors. By limiting access to these clinics, Republicans are basically implementing a backdoor nationwide abortion ban.
News: The Senate Parliamentarian has officially declared that the provision to 'defund' Planned Parenthood can stay in reconciliation

The bill currently says that PP, and other similar organizations, will not be able to receive federal funds for one year after the law is enacted

Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

Personally I’d rather have a Secretary of HHS who prevented my child’s death than one who attended their funeral.

Vaccines save lives. It is 2025. Kids in the US do not have to die of vaccine-preventable disease anymore.

Scientists at NCI now have to get their papers approved by RFK Jr.’s henchmen before publishing if they are focused on vaccines, autism, etc. This is another egregious attack on science with severe ripple effects. arstechnica.com/science/2025...
NCI employees can’t publish information on these topics without special approval
Communications involving “controversial, high profile, or sensitive” topics will get extra scrutiny.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.
Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)
