NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.
Good morning America. Happy Monday. And #RFKJr still needs to go. Now. My piece in @thenation.com last week. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.
Earlier this year, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed all of the staff that distributed $1.7B annually in Social Services Block Grant funds, which many states depended on for their child welfare, foster care and adoption systems.

#RFKJr has now lost the @nypost.com. His days as HHS Secretary are numbered. Keep up the pressure—let’s get him out the door. nypost.com/2025/09/04/o...
I have risen from poverty and a broken home to a life of wealth and a position directly beneath the president. Here’s why that makes me so angry and aggrieved.

The USTA has asked ordered broadcasters to censor negative audience reactions to Trump. Here's why tennis has a liberal bias problem.
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
💯.

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]
NEW: Over the years, Texas legislators have declined to pass at least three bills that would create siren or alert systems, a tool that Kerr County officials tried to secure for years before the July 4 flooding.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
do you ever stare at the ceiling and think about how the worldwide scientific establishment did the impossible and created a COVID vaccine in under a year and the response of the general public has been to go on an unstoppable rampage to destroy science and scientists
Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.
“Trump’s law doesn’t protect Medicaid. It requires Americans to spend hundreds of millions of hours a year filling out tedious, unnecessary paperwork. It will cause millions to lose their health coverage, limiting access to care and forcing them into debt.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
"The push to remove religious exemptions for vaccines is meant to drive up vaccination rates. It's working."

Reminder for science budget watchers-- House and Senate Appropriations Committees are working on FY26 spending bills to determine NSF and NIH funding. The White House recommended a 57% reduction for NSF and 40% for NIH. But Congress sets the budget.

Since 2000, GAVI has distributed 1.1 Billion vaccine doses to children around the world and averted 18.8 million deaths as a direct result of this effort. To cut U.S. funding for this incredible effort is to promote childhood deaths.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
“There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.” - Sun Tzu
The ATS condemns the HHS Sec. Kennedy’s unilateral decision to dismiss all members of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This decision undermines decades of medical and scientific that have been vital to safeguarding public health.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.
