His lack of scientific background is one of several concerning aspects of his candidacy.

A clear “NO” on confirmation.

What makes us think Noem wasn’t sacked because ICE wasn’t killing MORE innocent civilians.

A judge finally called a newsroom raid what it is Seizures of journalists’ materials have the same impact as traditional prior restraints

The seizure of Washington Post reporter @hannahnatanson.bsky.social's devices likely killed far more stories than any court order ever could.

Judge Porter should've done more to punish prosecutors, but he was right to call the raid what it was — a prior restraint.

The DOJ Subpoenaed Patient Info From a Gender-Affirming Care Clinic. It Fought Back. A Washington judge quashed the Trump administration's attempt to subpoena patient information from the telehealth practice QueerDoc—but the fight may not be over.

Late last year I covered the case of QueerDoc, a small, telehealth gender-affirming care practice that received a subpoena from Trump's DOJ. The subpoena was blocked by a federal judge, but the DOJ appealed, and the 9th Circuit is hearing oral arguments today.

Can AI Replace Social Science Researchers? No. No it can't. Come on, now.

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making “false claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism “cures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.

Now, under RFK Jr.’s leadership, that advisory is gone.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

It's is imperative that Democrats refuse to confirm anyone at all to lead DHS. Abolish ICE. I am praying they somehow grow any semblance of a backbone.

Trump can appoint Mullins as "acting" secretary of DHS, therefore getting around Democratic obstruction.

That said, the Democrats should stand united against confirming ANYONE to lead DHS, as part of a general shutdown of Senate business, as my senator suggests here.

@whipkclark.bsky.social is right. MAGA Republicans are terrified of women voting.

So they’re pushing the SAVE America Act to choke our registration, demand papers many don’t have, and purge us from the rolls.

But we will not be silenced. Call: 202-224-3121 to make your voice heard.

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.

But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the town of San Benito, along the south TX border. The children kept in TX are as young as 13, and about 1/2 are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the TX Newsroom & the CA Newsroom.

I’m actually willing to buy that he’s more a moron than an ideological antisemite, but you really have to be laughably clueless to think “but his wife is Jewish” is even the slightest bit relevant to that question. It should have exactly zero effect on anyone’s certainty either way.
