I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
Perhaps an early (bad) sign of what is to come:
Vinay Prasad, who helped lead a campaign against lifesaving mRNA vaccines at FDA, is being welcomed back to the University of California San Francisco, where he was prior to joining the Trump administration.
I think about this sketch every day

Here's another Hall of Fame sign from last year's MARCH 7th National Day of Action in Washington Square Park, New York City. What's your sign going to say this year?

Congress failed to pass the War Powers Resolution, leaving the door open for a prolonged war with Iran.
Now Washington is already floating billions more in military spending.
Democratic leadership needs to decide: are you funding this war, or will you oppose it at every turn?
A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"
A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
... just wait until they get to Eno.
Arrest the goddamn president
It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!
While bombs are falling on Iran, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are arguing about process instead of clearly saying this war shouldn’t be happening, and that’s not leadership.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
there always a catch

In 1954, Edward R. Murrow reminded us that disagreeing with those in power isn’t the same as being disloyal. He warned against letting fear take over & replacing evidence with accusations.
This is a call to courage. Freedom doesn’t protect itself.
Tomorrow Trump will give the State of the Union. While I don't know exactly what he'll say, I know it will be gibberish & lies.
Tonight at 7pm, Families Over Billionaires will host the State(s) of the Union; For the People, Not the Billionaires. Livestreamed here: www.youtube.com/@familiesove...
The administration is burying the truth.
Don’t let these stories die. Keep the pressure on. 🗣️
This piece by @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social is one for the ages. The damage Donald Trump (under the guidance of Russell Vought) has done to biomedical research is profound and will be long-lasting. It is a national tragedy to be measured in the sick and the dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...
STOP THE SAVE ACT (Updated)
