NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Read all of this. This is everything and everybody we were trying to warn about.

Absolutely horrific. ICE detained and abducted a minor—a high school student—who the family identified as a US citizen.

ICE is terrorizing our communities—I’m fighting for answers and accountability. This is just wrong.

MAGA grandma tries to open car door & attack couple who "look" illegal—then blocks their car from leaving hoping ICE will arrive.

"Where are you from?" lady yells. "Go home to whatever country you're from!"

"I was born here," says woman in car. "I'm an American," says man beside her.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

This isn’t law and order—this is intimidation. It doesn’t protect our communities; it undermines them.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
