immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

#incarail may win for the most inept and unhelpful company ever.
Protests by the locals has disrupted travel from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientas/Machu Picchu. They will happily transport you to O, with no information on when trains will resume. #perurail has info on their site.

MSNBC puts the actual crime statistics on the screen, and Trump lies and invents imaginary stats about crime surging.

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk.

PLEASE TALK ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN EPSTEIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
He’s obsessed with windmills because they are the only thing, arguably, dumber than he is. But they actually create powers whereby he just degradates things
Trump once called for Russia to illegally release Hillary’s emails. I call for America to legally release the full Epstein files.
The additional $80,000 that Noem received from the dark money group in 2023 represented a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 salary as South Dakota governor.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs?
VOUGHT: I reject the assertion
MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact
I've been briefed on the intelligence - there is no evidence Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. That makes this attack illegal.
Only Congress can declare preemptive war.
I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.
DC federal judge REFUSES to give into the gov & stay her order that it was illegal for Trump admin to fire federal labor relations board head
Her decision stands--another success for the rule of law
Another @democracydefendersaction.org litigation win!
The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.
HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?
KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents
Article excerpt: In Bangladesh, U.S. diplomats pressed Starlink’s case “early and often” with local officials, partnered with Starlink to “build an educational strategy” for their counterparts and helped arrange a conversation between Musk and the nation’s head of state, according to a recent cable. The embassy’s work started under Biden but bore fruit only after Trump took office. Their efforts resulted in Bangladesh approving Starlink’s request to do business in the country, the top U.S. diplomat there said last month, a sign-off that Musk’s company had sought for years.
It’s not just Gambia.
We got internal cables, notes and other records that show how U.S. diplomats have intervened on behalf of Starlink in at least four other developing nations. All while the U.S. has withdrawn foreign aid from those same countries.
If a Democratic president were openly & repeatedly saying that neither the 14th nor the 22nd amendment constrained him, the country would grind to a halt, the NYT & WaPo would have 96-point font front page headline articles, & the Senate impeachment trial would already be underway.

Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff
RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing.
Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign.
Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.
Helping the U.S. gets you banned, being white gets you a welcome mat. Got it.
Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.
“Beautiful thing to watch.”
Trump: "We won by 36 points, the youth." (This is a completely made up number -- Trump lost among young voters.)
The Club Champion, folks.
Incredible to watch Trump officials expose their glaring lack of one single longstanding principle.
