Not to take away anything from Woodward & Bernstein but Leslie Stahl's role in breaking Watergate to a national audience is often left out of the story.

I’ve had the honor and pleasure of getting to know some of those fired HHS employees. The loss to our country is simply incalculable.

These are brilliant folks who were working for the people of the US and were just cast aside by the worst people on the planet.

Combative, Defensive and Occasionally Contrite, Kennedy Walks a Fine Line

“We have lost so many exceptional scientists and other employees of HHS…the just decades of institutional knowledge that we have lost is absolutely devastating”.

This was my comment about RFK Jr. saying that HHS is now hiring thousands of people after firing thousands of brilliant scientists.

By this logic, the FBI also funds the Klan and Neo-Nazis, because they too pay people to act as undercover informants on their activities while superficially participating. Patel’s like a chess player who can’t even think one very obvious move ahead.

Going through some old photos. Mount St. Helens.

Keep your heads up @splcunion.bsky.social. Thank you for your important work.

Donald Trump dodged the draft to fight in Vietnam but he's sure he would've done a better job.

This kind of arrogance is exactly how America keeps getting stuck in long, bloody wars.

We need real leadership and a plan and a goal to end this war in Iran, and he has none of it.

Trump gutting the U.S. Forest Service puts communities in Arizona and across the country at risk — the Forest Service plays an essential role in preventing wildfires. I supported legislation last year to restore staffing so our forests stay accessible, safe, and maintained.

Pingree, Massie Team Up to Strip Big Chemical Immunity from Farm Bill

🚨NEWS🚨

Rep. Massie and I just introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill.

If a company’s product makes people sick, it should be held accountable. If states and communities want to create stronger protections, they should have every right to do so.

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

Hearing on Trump's Mass Deportations and ICE & CBP Attacks on U.S. Citizens (Minority Day Hearing) | House Committee on Homeland Security The Official Website of the House Committee on Homeland Security

Looks like Rev. David Black, the Presbyterian pastor who was shot in the head and body with pepper balls by DHS agents as he was praying outside an ICE facility in IL, is back on the Hill today.

He's testifying at a Homeland Security committee hearing on "ICE and CBP attacks on U.S. citizens."

A row of protesters on a street corner.

It’s the one year anniversary of this particular standout. People are optimistic. Realistic, but optimistic. We’re gonna turn this thing around.

Bearing Witness New England

I’ve got a light schedule today, so I’mma head up to the ICE field headquarters in Burlington (AKA our very own suburban concentration camp), read from the constitution, and yell at ICE agents to quit their shitty jobs.

C’mon out. It’s something you can do.

BREAKING:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Virginia voters approve new US House districts that could aid Democrats in midterm elections.

The fiery speech is great and I was a big fan of Ossoff when he ran. But democrats need to account for the times they directly enabled this administration and explain why.

DOJ Opens Criminal Probe Into Hate-Watch Group Until recently, the civil rights group was a partner to the FBI, providing critical information about extremists, including white supremacists, operating in the U.S.

"For 55 years, the Southern Poverty Law Center has stood as a beacon of hope fighting white supremacy and various forms of injustice to create a multi-racial democracy where we can all live and thrive,” Fair said. (cont.)

This so gross.

I'm tired of progressives trashing Democrats for not doing enough and ignoring the fact that with Republicans holding the White House, the Senate, and the House, Dems have virtually no power.

Maybe don't sit home or vote third party next election. Vote Dem and give them power for change.
