Dear god let this man cook.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Update - the actual text of the EO seems to indicate that the “This mechanism shall include the use of private sector pro-bono assistance for such law enforcement officers” refers to legal representation (aka the private firms he strong armed) and will likely be used to protect bad cops.

A little tax season reminder of how anti-abortion lobbyists have spent decades strategically weaving "fetal personhood" provisions and abortion disinformation into unrelated policies to make it nearly impossible to unravel through litigation.

A screenshot from tax filing that says "Were you pregnant in 2024? Georgia allows a dependent exemption for an unborn child with a detectable heartbeat, which may occur as early as 6 weeks' gestation. Did Hayley or Bryan have any unborn dependents in 2024?"

Why I'm shocked. /s The Fox weekend guy. Total chaos. Who knew? I mean...??? Come on. What did we expect? He has zero qualifications at this level; here we are. Actual integrity in Congress says he doesn't get confirmed. And here we are. Who does this chaos serve? Not us. #petehegseth #signalgate

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The contempt here is so clear. Contempt for the law, the legal process, the judge, for all of us. Call them on their contempt. Let's get on with it.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

The reality here is very simple: Trump thinks there is no limit on his power, that he can spend money how he likes, jail who he likes, rule by fiat, criminalize criticism of himself. He is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. And we can either acknowledge that or keep pretending he isn’t.
