More kids died from flu last season than in any non-pandemic season since monitored began 20 years ago. Almost 90% were unvaccinated. Parents: talk to your doctor about getting your kids vaccinated. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

NFL and MLB owners certainly are free to hold moments of silence for Charlie Kirk. That's fine.

My question is why they don't hold them for victims of all the mass shootings?

I would love sports reporters to call and ask.

Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.
Karoline Leavitt: "I saw the comments of Ms. Psaki and frankly I think they're incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens of millions of Americans of faith across this country who believe in the power of prayer, who believe that prayer works."

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

We’re not doing this. There were flash flood watches and warnings. It may have been during the night, but the weather service is doing heroic work under terrible staffing and funding conditions.

Texas officials are shifting blame because they were asked directly why they didn’t order evacuation.

Do you have any idea how many children are in America, the liberal media never highlights all the ones who don’t die
Cornyn highlights the people who didn't die in the Texas floods: "It's a very sad time, but it's also a time when 850+ campers were accounted for and recovered ... this was a 100 year flood event ... it's just a time of very many conflicting feelings."

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.

I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

There were a lot of folks here insisting yesterday that weather service cuts had no impact on Texas flood deaths. There’s zero way you can draw conclusions like hours later. Important follow up here. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

RFK Jr. is now taking COVID19 vaccines away from people who are pregnant. Infection during pregnancy increases the risk severe disease and potentially preterm birth.

The CDC itself lists pregnancy as a condition that puts people at risk for severe disease. The science doesn’t support this.

Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Imagine a Democrat saying that maybe the veterans they fired without cause “perhaps aren’t fit to have a job,” and then expecting that Democrat to face zero consequences in the press or at the ballot box. That even the thought of this is impossible should tell you where we are right now.

“This is absurd, corrosive nonsense,” wrote journalist James Surowiecki in a post on X Tuesday. “There are not tens of millions of dead people getting Social Security checks, & the only reason Leavitt is out here making these hysterical claims is because Elon Musk misunderstood a table of numbers.”
Donald Trump’s White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt boosted billionaire Elon Musk’s fantastical allegations of widespread fraud at the Social Security Administration (SSA)—and got called out for it.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I can’t help but shake the sense that the through line with all these assassins and mass shooters isn’t their politics but the easily obtained guns they have in their hands when they engage in the assassination or mass shooting. I imagine the gun industry loves our fascination with the wrong thing.
