Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Having masked men in plainclothes pulling out firearms and detaining people introduces a lot of problems for democracy beyond the obvious ones.
Opinion | Is that guy with a gun an ICE officer — or just a guy with a gun?
Masked federal agents aren’t exactly Trump’s secret police. But they are hiding from accountability.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Trump is certainly acting in the last month, as in his first term, like someone who has some sort of weird special connection to Russia. There is no political upside or significant constituency in the U.S. for subservience to Russia on this level. Many will tolerate it perhaps, but none demand it.

There are a million different ways a foreign power can compromise someone, and a long continuum of severity in which someone is in some way compromised and an "asset" or foreign intelligence. Reporters/pundits are understandably sick of talking about this because the evidence is the same as always.
