Tetanus is genuinely one of the most terrifying infectious diseases. We rarely see it today because vaccines work. And now cases are rising. In 2025, the US recorded more provisional tetanus cases than in any year from 2009–2023. Vaccination is our only protection.

I worked with Todd Blanche at SDNY. He shouldn’t be AG. Two years ago, I warned he’d become Trump’s Roy Cohn for a top job. Now Cohn’s playbook is DOJ practice: Deny facts. Defy courts. Target political enemies. Congress will confirm him. Defending the rule of law is up to us.

For the majority of Americans, it's becoming increasingly clear what the Trump-Republican Party represents.

APPLEBAUM: Clearly, Trump is somebody who was cultivated by Russians for many years. Clearly, when they talk to him, they spend lot of time thinking about how he can be manipulated, and he seems to respond. Trump is easy to manipulate if you know which buttons to push and so on.

I built a way to save America a whole lot of money. A patient of mine needs a mastectomy with tissue expander reconstruction, so we called a hospital’s price transparency line to ask for an estimate before surgery. The quote? $430,000. Then I sat down and estimated what it would cost to perform that exact same operation at Redbud Surgery Center. About $17,000. This is exactly why I believe independent outpatient surgery centers are part of the future of healthcare. When physicians are empowered to build efficient, patient-centered facilities, we can often provide the same high-quality care in a setting that is more affordable, more transparent, and designed around the patient experience. Healthcare doesn’t have to be this expensive. Competition works. Transparency works. Innovation works. If we want to lower healthcare costs in America, we don’t have to lower the quality of care. We simply have to start supporting models that deliver excellent outcomes without unnecessary overhead. There are solutions. We just have to be willing to build them.

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII. His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General. Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

🚨 I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power. Is THIS is what an insurrection looks like? 👇👇👇

🚨 Tell me again why Hillary Clinton was forced to testify under oath in front of a Republican-led committee… but Pam Bondi got a cozy closed-door interview with ZERO oath? Rules for thee, but not for me. The hypocrisy is fucking disgusting.

Katie Lane is the first Trump 2.0 judicial nominee to receive a NOT QUALIFIED rating from the American Bar Association. She’s never even tried a case. There are 3,000+ licensed attorneys in Montana. Pick a different one.

Trump hasn’t saved this country. He’s made every problem worse. The ONLY thing Trump has saved was himself going to prison. Aside from that he’s used the presidency to enrich himself and his family and setup deals with foreign countries and investors for his personal benefit.

Thank you, Denmark. 🇩🇰
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, our NATO ally Denmark just held one of the largest anti-Trump protests we’ve seen yet. Wow.
