Senate Republicans just blocked a resolution to force Trump to end his immoral, unconstitutional war on Iran.

John Fetterman voted with Republicans, and Rand Paul voted with Democrats.

Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new AP-NORC/Harris poll finds A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.

As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

NEW: Oregon liberals, opposed to nuclear power in the 1970s, created a complex process for getting new energy projects approved.

It’s now being used to stall developments in wind and solar β€” with a 76-year-old activist leading the charge.

American voters aren't drawn to parables

They want an enemy and they want to see that enemy hurt

ICE mistakenly detains disabled 15-year-old California teen outside school Another California school district is expanding 'safe zones' after a disabled student was mistakenly detained, at gunpoint, by immigration agents near a high school.

Not just disabled, SEVERELY disabled. Then the agents left bullets on the sidewalk.

A Clown Show has been empowered to violate basic human decency and human rights.

How shameful and embarrassing.

EXCLUSIVE: I Have Ghislaine Maxwell's Security Score, Custody Level, Transfer Code, and Sex Offender Waiver I have reviewed an electronic file that includes some of the information Senator Whitehouse is demanding from the Bureau of Prisons.

NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an β€œout” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Last night we shared a β€œnever give up” moment. Sen. Chris Van Hollen was absolutely determined to visit with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and he succeeded in making it happen. Immense thanks to @vanhollen.senate.gov

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefingβ€”because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.

Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

Don’t let this go!!!

A Fork in the Road: Is Federal Employee Privacy Compromised? In this interview, I speak to a systems security specialist who found privacy problems surrounding the HR@opm.gov email servers

Back in January, I reported on DOGE entering an agency system, exporting the data, OPM server info left open to the public, and someone signing in from a foreign country using a DOGE account. Almost identical to what the Whistleblower reported to NPR this week www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...

A preliminary budget draft leaked to the Washington Post outlines plans by the Trump administration to cut:

- the NIH budget by 40%
- the CDC budget by 44%
- the HHS budget by 33%

This will not make America healthy. It will make Americans sicker and more vulnerable to disease outbreaks.

Folding 27 NIH institutes and centers down into *8*, which is even worse than the rumored plan for 15, is catastrophic for American biomedical research. Completely insane.
