If you want to know what’s wrong with Washington, take a look at the Rand Paul/Dr. Fauci hearing. Pointing fingers and assigning blame rather than learning lessons to prevent the next pandemic. Where are the hearings on the measles outbreak? How about hearings on the cyclosporiasis outbreak?
If that’s not enough to get you sick, this administration continues to leave Americans more vulnerable than ever to disease as they continue to dismantle the FDA and the CDC.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

DeLAURO: So the blanket immunity for the Trumps is not something you're going move back on?
BLANCHE: It's not blanket immunity. That's not true
DeLAURO: It is!
BLANCHE: No it's not
DeLAURO: ... ... ...
BLANCHE: Nothing has changed with that
DeLAURO: Friends, listen to what is being said here. This is really pretty extraordinary

Imagine if Biden:
• Created a $1.8 billion slush fund to hand out to rioters who assaulted police officers
• Banned the IRS from auditing him, his family, and his companies
• Accepted a $400 million luxury jet from a foreign monarchy
Pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted police officers
• Openly promoted his own meme coin while in office
• Had family members cutting international business deals while he was in office and directly profiting from them
• Repeatedly “joked” about staying in office past two terms
• Repeatedly praised Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong Un
The outrage would never end.
The fact that people are becoming numb to this level of corruption is insane.

Fucking outrageous. And highly illegal.
"Trump has grifted his entire life. Now he’s just taking it.
The State Department transferred $1.25 billion in foreign aid to Trump’s Board of Peace, pulling $1 billion from international disaster assistance, $200 million from peacekeeping operations, and $50 million from international organizations.
Money that Congress authorized for hurricanes and refugees, moved without a congressional vote, into a fund that Trump created by executive order and controls personally. When reporters asked the State Department about it, a spokesperson said they had nothing to announce at this time.
The Board of Peace has one defining characteristic. Trump controls it forever. He named himself chairman for life. No audits. No transparency requirements. No conflict of interest rules.
Countries pay $1 billion into a fund he runs to get a seat at the table. It has transferred nothing to Gaza, disclosed nothing about its spending, and received $1.25 billion of your disaster relief money without a word of explanation.
When he leaves the White House he keeps the fund. That is not a loophole. That is the design."
He’s Not Grifting Anymore. He’s Just Taking It. open.substack.com/pub/meidas…

Illini need to stop complaining and start playing to your strength. Dominate the lane. You have a massive advantage inside. Put Mirk on the block and not on perimeter. Get twins the ball on the block. Let Stoj go iso from the top. Stop messing around. 3’s from inside out only.

WATCH: This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see: Stephen Colbert and James Talarico.
After intimidation from the FCC, CBS refused to allow Colbert to air this. We need to make sure everyone sees it.

It's what people say about you.
Thank you, Josh, for seeing and believing in us from Day 1.

UPDATE: A former Trump attorney has now publicly stated that he believes Kasparov has summarized Trump's intentions *perfectly*: what the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and pedophile protector-in-chief is planning is the end of democracy—a fascist regime—this year or next.

Okay so,
1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution
2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents
3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen
4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement
You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world.
Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting.
Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”

Keaton Wagler's 46 points is the most an individual has EVER scored in a road win over a top-10 opponent in AP Poll history, per ESPN Research.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.
But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office
