Senator Whitehouse pointing out how absolutely ludicrous it is to vote for Todd Blanche. There will never be any justice for the Epstein survivors, no justice for the families of the victims of ICE andno justice for the Capitol police that were attacked on Jan. 6. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@judiciarydems.senate.gov · yesterday

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: Voting for this guy Todd Blanche today gives Republicans’ blessing to the botched Epstein Files release. Even Pam Bondi pointed at Blanche as responsible. It gives their blessing to his continuing role in the coverup.

The direct line between what happened to Mamie Till Mobley after Emmett was killed and what’s happening to this woman now is becoming a circle. A dot, actually.

Almost all of my husband’s nurses at Maine Med were from Somalia or Zambia, or Ethiopia. They were all excellent nurses, working hard to keep their patients safe. This is a heartbreaking story.

The shoddy thinking behind this piece is embarrassing and makes zero differentiation between athletes taking a stand for equality and inclusion vs bigotry. Plus, it lumps MAGA and TERFs with Civil Rights icons. This is lazy, ignorant, and morally reprehensible from my ex-employer.

Aaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

The Democratic Party needs to figure out why working-class voters have moved to the GOP. These insider and inside-the-Beltway consultants can't crack the code on this issue...but they sure can raise money to line their own pockets. www.pressherald.com?p=7697476&uu...

This is the story I fear about so many of the neighbors we saw abducted: they were dumped in concentration camps and are now outside the country, living in places that are unfamiliar and unsafe.

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Today is the last day of public comment on a rule that would force cancer and HIV patients to prove "significant impairment" so they can keep their exemption to Medicaid work requirements. This "will kill people, I’m literally living proof of that," said one patient with a brain tumor.

A surprise rule added to the Big Beautiful Bill could disrupt access to Medicaid for people with serious illnesses who thought they were exempted from work requirements.

Peter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."
