Give Trump the splashy headline and credit then wait five paragraphs to mention these deals were only possible because of Biden's legislation. Paper of Record! 🙄

This whole thing is so sad. @lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social covered it with compassion. Why doesn’t Trump’s family intervene?

Not Just Measles: Anti-Vaxxers Have Produced 3 Infant Deaths From Pertussis
In all of our conversations surrounding RFK Jr.'s appointment to lead HHS and the legitimization of his anti-vaxxer beliefs as a result, we have understandably been hyper-focused on measles. The reason for that is mostly that this is as stark an example of just how stupid and horrible anti-vaccination misinformation is combined with the horror that is measles infections. This disease was essentially…

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

A reminder the national guard cannot be used for law-enforcement activities except in times of War or national emergency.
So another lawbreaking order from this administration.

Question: What does “Michael Wolffed it” even mean? You just ignore an off-the-record agreement? Or what?
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

Prediction: Some will seize on the shooting to try to pull Dems back to a position of cowardice on Trump's deportations, and Stephen Miller will scam dimwit commentators into making this case as well, but what happened ultimately won't dent public disapproval of the raids/arrests in the slightest.

Pete Hegseth is deploying 500 more National Guard troops to D.C., even though a judge has ruled the move illegal. Again Gaurds are being put in a situation where the order is illegal.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: MAGA is stunned into silence as news confirms National Guard shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the U.S. in 2021 and was vetted and granted LEGAL ASYLUM by the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION in April 2025.

The suspect in the National Guard shooting served for 10 years in the Afghan Army alongside U.S. Special Forces. A relative says he has a wife and five sons, hadn’t spoken to him in months, and doesn’t know why he carried out the attack.

Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

WHOOPSY — VP JD Vance seems to back up the Dems (veterans) who said the military shouldn’t obey illegal orders, which Trump said they should be executed for.
