Wild that he gets this coverage after he packed the Utah Supreme Court in order to try to prevent it from enforcing a referendum-passed gerrymandering ban to steal a congressional seat for the GOP (and disenfranchise his state's largest city)

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has emerged as a prominent voice calling on Americans to step back from the political hostility gripping the country. The Republican governor is expanding on that message in a new book. https://to.pbs.org/3VmTJnx

US military spending isn't just DOD. As David Vine writes in @motherjones.com, it is spread across at least 15 other federal agencies, and the total likely exceeds the combined military budgets of every other nation on Earth. These figures are "likely to stun most Americans,” notes one expert.

Think Trump’s $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request is outrageous? This'll blow your mind.

We already spend at least that much on the US military each year, and maybe a lot more.

The “states’ rights” people in the past knew it was bullshit back then too, because slaver states wouldn’t let free states pass laws protecting self-emancipated people within their borders.

NEW / HUGE: Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama sued nearly three dozen abortion pill providers + a pharmacy and The states asked the Supreme Court to be able to sue New York, Massachusetts, and California to challenge their telehealth shield laws @autonomynews.co storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dear Mr. Cayce: I write to notify the panel of two legal developments material to the panel’s resolution of this case. First, today Louisiana—joined by Arkansas and Alabama—filed a lawsuit in the Western District of Louisiana against nearly three dozen individuals and entities responsible for remotely dispensing FDA- approved mifepristone in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama. See Louisiana v. Nouhavandi, No. 2:26-cv-03836 (W.D. La.) (attached). As the complaint in that case illustrates, none of those individuals and entities could carry out their current operations without the 2023 REMS’s removal of the in-person dispensing requirement. Second, also today Louisiana—joined by Arkansas and Alabama— filed a motion for leave to file a bill of complaint (attached), Louisiana v. New York, in the United States Supreme Court against New York, Massachusetts, and California. The bill of complaint challenges the telehealth shield laws of those states on various legal grounds. Both complaints explain how Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. FDA will eliminate the flood of FDA-approved mifepristone into the State. Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. Nouhavandi will eliminate the 2 ability of nearly three dozen of the most prominent actors to illegally send any abortion drugs into the State. And Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. New York will strip all shield-law state residents—regardless of any back-up drugs they may try to use—of the claimed authority to violate Louisiana’s laws with impunity. espectfully, /s/J.

in the state's criminal justice system. And the fact that Douglas is being retried in the face on unequivocal and conclusive evidence of his innocence shows just how tenacious that racism is in the Beehive State.

It's weird how the federal government is constantly being hacked after DOGE gutted the government's cybersecurity agencies.

Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker.com · yesterday

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

NEW: As Trump’s White House and influencers keep touting the unproven benefits of raw milk, hundreds across the country are falling ill from outbreaks. Some people get severe indigestion. And some nearly die. Here's the story of one toddler who drank it. 🧵👇 www.propublica.org/article/cali...

A Girl Nearly Died After Drinking Raw Milk. The State Did Little to Punish the Unlicensed Farmer Who Sold It.

California is teeming with black-market dairies, propped up by consumer demand fueled by misinformation. With evidence against one raw goat milk farm, regulators could have sought punitive action. But...

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection. (Published May)

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth

A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

CRUZ: Do you have any evidence whatsoever to believe that I and 20% of Republicans in the Senate will engage in destruction or tampering with evidence or intimidation of potential witnesses? JACK SMITH: No. We had powerful evidence that Donald Trump and his associates would
