Not just tourism. It ends US global business.
NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

NEW: Trump’s still coming for the Fed, and the consequences could be catastrophic.

Opal Sandy made history in 2023 as the first child to receive gene therapy for profound deafness due to a faulty gene, successfully restoring her hearing within months and allowing her to hear normally at age three.

This is just one reason why it's important to fund scientific research.

Seems a little wild that DHS would call me out by name and say that this scene is offensive to Christians. I like seperation in my church and state. Moreover, what's offensive to Christians is the dehumanization that DHS and ICE are practicing. That is evil and an offense to God - not my nativity.

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”

Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.
From the US Embassy in London today.

This was an unexpected surprise. I wrote a thread about what was happening with redistricting in Indiana. It’s been a wild ride.

The state senate was under immense pressure from Trump to vote for a new map that would make Indiana 9-0 Republican districts.

They voted against it.
Live updates: Indiana Senate votes down redistricting bill, breaking with Trump
The vote may come down to the wire as on-the-fence lawmakers hear final arguments.

He just needs to find the right pollster to give him the approval rating he wants. Surely there must be one out there somewhere. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "When the real pollsters start doing the polls I think you're gonna see some really fantastic numbers."

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Russia is facing a catastrophe—and that's a good thing.

Russia is not as stable as it seems, — The Economist

Military problems:

➡️ Bloody and slow advance;

➡️ Russia's actual successes on the battlefield are not as impressive as the propaganda portrays them.

All the threats from Trump and his henchmen to Republican state senators in Indiana failed. Mid-decade gerrymandering rejected. This is no small thing. Maybe some other Republicans will finally start to stand up to the Mob Boss.

This is a a sign that Trump is losing in his party. His desperate threats and intimidation are no longer guaranteed to work. Is the dam almost at breaking point?

Big props to everyone in Indiana who fought this.

They marched, they chanted, they protested, they rallied, they sat in.

They did everything they could to stop those maps from the moment the plan was announced.

And it worked.

Bravo.
🎉 BREAKING: WE DID IT! 🎉

After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!

This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.

Republicans were told Trump would hold an event that finally addressed the affordability crisis that has them in a panic in their own districts, and they actually believed it.

Instead, denial and he launched into a full-blown racist rant. Nothing real about inflation.

The bigot always surfaces.

Unpaid school debt
$40B for Argentina

Bless Patti & her son forever, but the phrase “$667,000 in unpaid school lunch debt” is a terminal indictment on this cursed country.

DOA.
Patti LaBelle and her son Zuri Kye Edwards have wiped out more than $667,000 in unpaid school lunch debt, helping thousands of children across the United States. LaBelle called the act “a victory greater than any Grammy,” emphasizing that no child should ever have to learn on an empty stomach.

Many papers refused to print cartoons that featured Franklin because he is black. Schultz told them that unless they printed the cartoons as he drew them on the days they were scheduled, he would remove them from syndication. He won that battle.
