Trump is not America First. He is Russia First, Qatar Second, Argentina Third. Not sure if America even makes it into the top 10.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

House Oversight's Robert Garcia is calling on Chairman Comer to "immediately schedule a date for Ghislaine Maxwell to testify" before the Committee. 

The panel had postponed its deposition with Maxwell until the Supreme Court decided whether to take up her appeal (it did not). tinyurl.com/bpasrhvz

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

It’s hard to see this any other way than, public health is science that helps rich and poor alike, and rich people hate that.

Just in case: MMWR is a key frontline indicator for outbreaks. The first subtle hint of AIDS was in that publication. This is the pale horse that Death rides.
