So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

This isn’t a game. These are people’s lives.

Coloradans are trying to rebuild their lives after fires and floods destroyed homes and communities across our state. Trump’s decision to reject our disaster requests and withhold resources as our communities continue to recover is unacceptable.

We @democracydefendersfund.org have had lawyers working around the clock to scrutinize the Epstein document dump

Takeaways follow--the biggest one is that DOJ is hiding Trump's role

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

To address this challenge, researchers focused on viral envelope glycans- sugar molecules found on the surface of many ‘enveloped’ viruses, the families most likely to cause pandemics, severe illness and death in humans. Glycans are sugar molecules that are structurally conserved across unrelated

This is BIG!!!!!
By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that share structural similarities- even across UNRELATED virus families- they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses. Unlike bacterial infections, which are often treated right
