Shocker: Trump's new WH press secretary is a Pizzagate-promoting conspiracy monger nut job. That physically she fits the Fox News/Ivanka template is equally (not) shocking. This Bozo Fascist Regime has got to go. We are a joke outlaw nation. Shame on us. popular.info/p/new-white-...

Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net · 4d agoThe CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
Just a reminder that whenever Trump says that inflation started with Biden, what he neglects to say was that it was a result of efforts to offset his incredibly botched handling of COVID and the economic consequences it triggered.
This is outrageous. Donald Trump just announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel, and Treasury immediately lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports through April. Those sanctions exist for one reason. They limit the money Putin can use to wage his brutal war on Ukraine.
One key point @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social makes here is that if Dems win the midterms (and win in 2028), deploying congressional power creatively to unwind Elon Musk's sway over the government (contracts, etc) will be essential to any reconstruction: www.ms.now/opinion/elon...

JUST UNSEALED: A judge ruled this week that the first Trump admin's "Remain in Mexico" policy illegally subjected thousands of people – many with meritorious asylum claims — to horrifically dangerous and violent conditions and deprived them of access to attorneys. cgrs.uclawsf.edu/en/legal-doc...
UPDATE: Judge April Perry denies the government's bid to keep all of this under seal — including the attorney's signature block. "The government has also publicly disclosed … that there is an OPR investigation in this case."

Quick question: Why is MSNOW selling ad time to the Trump administration for its disgusting blowing-up-Iran ads, paid for by my tax dollars? And btw, the Bozo Fascist can't even figure out how to SURRENDER to Iran after all those bombs only made the mullahs more influential in the Middle East.
Ossoff on Kimberly Guilfoyle: "Why is she spending so much time with this Greek energy lobbyist? She's partying across Europe after begging donors to bail her out financially and conducted herself in a way that seems to be deeply unethical."
The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.
I'd add that there are lots of Republicans actually taking money from Elon Musk, and they are rarely or never asked about his more radical/racist statements.
