“it’s time to start focusing on direct accountability for Miller: publicly demanding his removal, confronting the administration with the question of why someone the public never elected now wields such extraordinary influence in the White House.”
👏👏👏
“One of our biggest findings is that we could have avoided 2,679 pregnancy-related deaths during this time period if the national rate were that of California. If California can do it, then how can we get other states to perform as well?”

That’s it! Best way to figure out the truth from his lies is to flip it around.
It’s like when Amazon invests a bunch of ad dollars to tell everyone they are SO good to their workers and you immediately know their workers are organizing somewhere over bad worker conditions.
Reminder that if you have appreciated my live coverage of Trump's rallies over the years, the best way to show it is by signing up for my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy our coverage of US politics and paid subscribers make my work possible (including the video clips). Thanks.
it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"
The Canadian Cancer Society wants all provinces and territories Wednesday to lower the colorectal cancer screening age to 45 from 50.
CENTCOM is aware of the loss of US KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing. 2 aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely.
Wittman blames Spanberger for high energy prices, citing savings by exiting RGGI. Rob disregards how Youngkin’s slowdown of clean energy projects and support for new data centers spiked prices. Rob, if you’re serious about affordability, how about a chat with your friends at Dominion or the AI bros?
Concerns about data centers and their potential impact on energy bills have been growing among Central Virginia residents. I took those concerns directly to Dominion Energy.
Rep Don Beyer has run on a pro-environment platform but Dominion Energy has been one of his top donors.

Just spent hours of my life trying to see if you could still buy a lifetime license disc of Office 2016 because I hate the subscription model so much.
Anthropic is now suing the Pentagon after the US Defense Department labelled the company a “supply chain risk”.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.
It was a lie, not an opinion. A blatant and obvious lie. Something he knew was a lie. And not just another one of the hundreds of lies he tells every day - a lie about the killing of at least 175 people, mostly girls who were attending school. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
What she said and also the whole thread.
Streaming the Melania propaganda film. When you finally see her in full view, "rape, murder!" hits in the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter. Trump reportedly met Melania through Epstein and had sex with her for the first time on Epstein's rape plane, in a sadistic crime network that killed women.
WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
The US has, in slightly over a year, torched what was once one of the best repositories of legal talent (the DOJ) in favor of...uh...total hacks now struggling under an impossible workload made all the more impossible by an administration that is acting without even the faintest color of law.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the US’s sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much." @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
