There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps.
Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s
The content of this @mprnews.org article is important, but I want to take a step back to remark how strong the photos by @benjovland.bsky.social are. I'm old enough to think of the R in @mprnews.org as standing for Radio, an audio-only medium. So a pleasant surprise. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
This reveals something fundamental.
RFK doesn’t grasp he’s the medical establishment now.
It’s not his job to judge who caused this epidemic (though we all know who).
It’s his job to stop it.
He’s failing.
I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages!
If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is
“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.”

One of the things that gives me hope is that we just might come out of this disastrous period with renewed public support for democracy, climate policy, free trade, & international cooperation, as a result of the viscerally repellent, kakistocratic, far right authoritarianism of one Donald J. Trump.
"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum, but any remaining sense of self-control." www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/4533...
HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.
for economic disruption and we will work, attend school, and shop on our own schedules as we decide those schedules as free Americans. We don't accept would-be kings telling us to practice economic disruption.
Don't shoot our movement in the foot. Don't call for economic disruption.

of your most ardent supporters—the people who have been volunteering for Indivisible since 2017—have signed off on "no work, no school, no shopping," much less "economic disruption." We care about our community here in Minnesota and love our neighbors. We will practice noncooperation with calls /6
their families need. The majority of everyday Americans in the grassroots know better than to follow calls from the overprivileged to engage in economic disruption and to change their own necessary schedules for work, school, and shopping.
You didn't do a structure test to show that any /5
The billionaires have their own protections from economic disruption. The burden of economic disruption falls on the Americans whom I protest with every week, the everyday Americans who already think carefully about how to find work, how to find education for their children, and how to buy what /4
you advocating for a national day of economic disruption, because then Trump has a patsy to blame for the economic disruption that Americans are already feeling.
Any compassionate pro-democracy person who is close to the grassroots knows better than to advocate more economic disruption. /3
when they can find work, need to have family members attend school when school is open, and need to shop where and when they can afford to shop. Today polling data make clear that Americans know that Trump has failed in managing the U.S. economy and they are ready to blame Trump.
Trump LOVES /2
Right now Americans are suffering from economic disruption caused by Trump's crazy tariff policies, Trump's illegal firings of federal workers (and cuts to funds to other workers), and Trump's rash war on Iran and the current blockade. Everyday Americans who live in my neighborhood need to work /1
#BREAKING: Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately.
This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig...
The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.
Sean Parnell, spokesman for Pete Hegseth: STATEMENT: Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately. On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy. We wish him well in his future endeavors. Undersecretary Hung Cao will become Acting Secretary of the Navy.
Trump just fired the Secretary of the Navy and replaced him with Undersecretary Hung Cao, one of the biggest idiots Virginia politics has produced this century (really saying something here) in the middle of the Iran war
A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.
We are very happy that today Apple issued a patch and a security advisory. This comes following 404 Media reporting that the FBI accessed Signal message notification content via iOS despite the app being deleted.
DATA:
A) The current split in US House seats in VA is 6D-5R, so D's have 55% of the seats.
B) If TX in 2025 had used that same 55% for their R majority as VA had used for Ds, TX in 2026 would likely be 21R-17D.
C) But when TX did its 2025 redistricting, it split things 30R-8D, or 79% for Rs.

Rolling back clean air protections won't help us end chronic disease and make America healthy.
ALSOBROOKS: I have the recording. I can play it
RFK Jr: I do not believe that every Black kid should be re-parented on a wellness farm and I have never believed it

ICYMI, the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump staged or faked his assassination attempt in July 2024 continues to gain steam online, despite not only having no credible evidence, but being built around a paradox that nobody who believes it wants to address.

Our caucus is heartbroken to hear about the passing of our colleague, Rep. David Scott.
His commitment to the people of Georgia’s 13th Congressional District and America's farmers was unparalleled. He will be dearly missed.
“Alisha and I join all Georgians in mourning the passing of Congressman David Scott. “We send our deepest condolences to his beloved wife, Alfredia, his daughters Dayna and Marcye, the entire Scott family, and his entire staff during this difficult time. “Congressman Scott devoted his life to public service and the State of Georgia, elected to the Georgia State House in 1974 and the State Senate in 1982 before being elected to Congress in 2002. “The State of Georgia is a better place thanks to the service of Congressman Scott. “May his memory be a blessing.”
Sen. Ossoff on Passing of Congressman David Scott.
