I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

For months, I’ve been pressing RFK Jr to restore our vaccine approval process after he delayed and obstructed this key body. He never responded.
Now, he’s dismissed every member without cause.
This is a dangerous and thoughtless decision with our communities’ health on the line.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business.
Some folks still have a spine.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

As far as I can tell, the Democrats are experts at appealing to the middle. The party needs to expand to the left, not the right. I doubt we'll lose "the middle" by advocating for a public health option or supporting the LGBTQ+ community. If you want to be a republican, go be a republican.
Is “near-universal agreement” in the room with you?
