NEW: Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated the GSA and they're looking for ways to use White House credentials to access agency tech, potentially allowing them to remote into laptops, read emails, and more, sources say.

NEW: In response to orders by the Trump admin, the CDC has taken down the Household Pulse Survey, one of the biggest and most important sources of Long COVID data in the world.

The US government is literally erasing the existence of Long COVID.

ICE raided my sister’s home this morning. Her 3 month old was screaming as they pushed her to the ground and kept her separated from him. After searching her apartment room by room and ignoring her attempts to get information, they realized they were at the wrong address. SMH

@LuigiCaseFiles He deserves a fair trial.

@ask_aubry In some relationships it might be acceptable. But the fact that he described it as wrong, leads me to believe there are problems. & She'll need to decide if this is a deal/marriage breaker for her.

@DrZhana I heard a story about a 19 c. pedophile army officer. He channeled his urges into ordering his soldiers to round up orphans, feed & bathe them. & He washed & mended the kids' clothes. He never saw or touched kids inappropriately. He had a disorder. He was not a criminal.

🚨BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom just released a new website to combat misinformation being spread about the wildfires in LA. This is huge. Please rely on this website and its accurate information—not Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

@ask_aubry Unhealthily low body weight will usually turn off the period. So will a hysterectomy.

Ron Wyden is trying to push this bill before the end of the session

I want to talk for a minute about a very good, bipartisan bill that you should support: the SLAPP protection act.

A SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) is a weak defamation suit that you file, not to win the case, but to impose litigation costs. /1

The Illinois AG’s office found that a Palatine school district broke the law when administrators directed police to fine students for school-based conduct, and that the practice had an “unjustified disparate impact” on Black and Latino students. (1/2)
