Someone’s nervous about losing his seat to Annie Andrews! Guess he hasn’t been saving his pennies for retirement!

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera. Behind closed doors in Washington, top advisers made a series of decisions that had devastating repercussions for the poorest country on earth. We went to South Sudan and found people who died as a re...

NEW: One of the most significant accomplishments of the Trump Admin: Decimating the US's humanitarian aid.

We went to S. Sudan to see the effects.

Rubio says no one has died from the cuts.

Spoiler: That's not true.

I hope they serve them sandwiches for lunch.

CJA lawyer here— payments have been suspended for the past 3 months and now, it seems, indefinitely. I’m worried about what this portends for federal indigent defense going forward.

No waiver of speedy trial. Bring it. Make the government prove their case NOW.

What the actual fuck?!? So when does the Revolution start? Date and time, please.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear robes. . . In the middle of the night. ❤️

It was terrifying. I still have flashbacks.

I’m sure the funding issues are helpful at a time like this.

Wow. That’s really bad. Why hasn’t anyone told us lawyers who represent some of these clients potentially impacted by this? This is alarming.

We also saw some hot air balloons over Annecy a couple of weeks ago

A note of hope: after the McCarthy scare era, with the Blacklist, and some of the same tactics we are living through today, came 40 years of incredible progress.

It is always darkest before the dawn. Keep hope.

Okay, seriously, someone please explain Kagan to me.

There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American.

A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

We don't talk enough about the total financial ruin defendants face when the state brings an absurd case like this. They prosecuted Karen Read for years while law enforcement engaged in blatant misconduct—and she lost both her jobs, her home, and her life savings. It's bullshit.

Also, Bitch McConnell. I go back and forth . . .

Kicking 10.9 million people off their healthcare is not going to cut it. If I were in the Senate instead of Lindsey Graham, I would make sure this “Big Beautiful Bill” never passed.

At some point we need to completely ignore these posts. They’re a perverse distraction and we need to conserve the outrage for what really matters.

A headline that reads: “Cow escapes on way to slaughterhouse, smashes metal fence, breaks human’s arm, and swims to uninhabited island where she still lives.” There’s a photo of a brown cow looking at the camera.

Finally, some good news.

The NIH is also now in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to broaden agreements governing access to their data, Bhattacharya said. In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into the data.

Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, but said their selection would be "run through normal NIH processes."

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes?

Fuck ALL the way off.
