Why Democrats with 2028 hopes are calling Lina Khan – and what she’s telling them about remaking the economy | CNN Politics Lina Khan is getting constant calls from Democrats, many of them thinking about presidential runs, to sound out problems and workshop potential solutions. That’s a shift from when she was Federal Trad...

If you want to lead our party (and lead our country), then of course you should be calling Lina Khan.

Let's stand up to out-of-control monopolies. Let's rein in unchecked corporate power. Democrats should be the party that fights for working people.

HHS rejects publication of study showing Covid-19 vaccines prevent hospitalizations, ER visits Covid-19 vaccines roughly halved the chances that a US adult would need to visit the emergency room or be hospitalized with their infections last fall and winter, according to two sources familiar with the findings of a new study. But you won’t hear about it from the agency that led the research: the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

DoorDash’s PR goes off online after White House delivery stunt The DoorDash public affairs chief responded after online backlash over a staged McDonald’s delivery at the White House.

Door Dash setting up a staged moment with Trump means I'm not using Door Dash going forward. It's pretty simple: Help promote Donald Trump and you're dead to me.

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

I didn't know there was an audience, i.e., me, for the global fail tour (GFT) that Donald Trump has sent JD Vance on.

Tho obvious, it's worth noting that a naval blockade is not an obvious solution to restoring the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf. There may be a logic but not a straightforward one. They say hope is not a plan. No plan is also not a plan. Improvising as you go has uncertain and chaotic results.

The fuel protests in Ireland are a Trojan Horse that aim to bring fascism to Ireland. We are witnessing the birth of an Irish version MAGA. The more you look, the more obvious it is that many of the key spokesmen (and they are all men) are dangerous anti-immigrant far right agitators.Wake up.

OpenAI Backs Bill That Would Limit Liability for AI-Enabled Mass Deaths or Financial Disasters The ChatGPT-maker testified in favor of an Illinois bill that would limit when AI labs can be held liable—even in cases where their products cause “critical harm.”

OpenAI wants to be off the hook if its frontier AI models go rogue and cause 100+ deaths or more than $1 billion in financial damages. from @mzeff.bsky.social

My friend who did this would wait until her cover was blown, find the guys’ wives in Texas or wherever, and forward them a history of the messages

(1/X) The media's refusal to discuss Trump's personality disorder has made its coverage of Iran very poor. They pretend that Trump had some normal rationale for the war, some semi-imminent threat, but it's more likely he did it out of some kind of combination of a desire to distract from Epstein...

I guess the you'll be in hell fuckers tweet seems a bit quaint now

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

GOP weighs health care cuts to pay for Iran war New efforts to rein in health programs open the GOP up to attacks that they're cutting health care to pay for an unpopular war.

Let me get this straight.

Republicans want to take health insurance away from hundreds of thousands more Americans to pay for a war Congress never authorized.

They want to gut Medicaid and raise your premiums to write a $200B check for a conflict Trump started without asking. This is insanity.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today.

That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump.

It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY exposing how ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Ms. Ungaro was a 17-year-old model when she arrived in New York for the first time in 2002, flying on Mr. Epstein’s plane from Paris with her French agent. She never saw Mr. Epstein again, she said in an interview. But later that year, she met Mr. Zampolli, then 32, at a Manhattan nightclub. Mr. Zampolli wooed her as a client, she said, persuaded her to move to the United States and began a romantic relationship with her that would last two decades. Mr. Zampolli said this didn’t happen until Ms. Ungaro was 19.

At the tail end of Mr. Trump’s first term, Mr. Zampolli was appointed to the board of the Kennedy Center. He moved to Washington for a short time with Ms. Ungaro and their son. But by 2023, she was fed up. Mr. Zampolli had made headlines for his boisterous parties filled with younger women, and for passing around explicit text messages between himself and a woman he claimed was a sex worker. Ms. Ungaro left Mr. Zampolli, moved to Florida and married a doctor from Brazil. Their son went to boarding school and then lived with her, and the former couple fought over custody of him. Then, last June, Ms. Ungaro and her husband were arrested.

This story is fucking insane:
*A Trump crony pursued a teen model who flew to US on the Epstein plane
*When the relationship went sour as he pursued other women, and she married someone else, the crony set ICE on her.
*Now she is deported.

Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don’t rewrite an Iran missile story Bettors are using death threats to try to get The Times of Israel's military correspondent to change his report on a missile impact in central Israel. This is his alarming account

Crazy crazy story. Times of Israel reporter ( English language Israeli news site ) gets escalating death threats to change story that’s at center of big polymarket bet. www.timesofisrael.com/gamblers-try...

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

SCOOP. From my OUR LAND newsletter: Trump's DOJ is helping to get a convicted FBI informant tied to Russian intelligence out of prison. The lie this guy told the FBI—Joe Biden took a $5m bribe from Burisma—was the main evidence for the GOP impeachment drive. 1/2
