NEW: RFK’s public effort to revamp US vaccine policy has quieted. But outside public eye, Kennedy + allies are embedding his agenda in institutions that decide what gets studied, who does research and how that becomes policy. @rachel_roubein + me. https://t.co/57B7VPXkSl
Snyder: [Donald Trump] is out of his depth. He does not understand anything about negotiation. He does not understand anything about war. He doesn't understand the politics of war. He doesn't understand how war is politics. He thinks it's like a video game or a movie where you push a button and then the other guy surrenders. But war is fundamentally an intense form of politics. And politics is not what he's good at.
You and your vote are powerful—and this administration knows it. They’re afraid of it.

This is your daily reminder that @realDonaldTrump is a pedophile. @SpeakerJohnson@DAGToddBlanche and the @GOP@HouseGOP@SenateGOP are covering it up.
FBI intake report dated June 21, 2021, alleging Trump was aware of "underage" sex parties and charged the house money of the golf course to fund those sex parties.

Apple is a $4.35 trillion corporation. It made $112 billion in profits last year & paid its CEO, who's already worth $2.9 billion, $74 million in compensation. In the past 3 years, it's spending $310 billion on stock buybacks.
Don't cite inflation. Cite the damn corporate greed.
Correct. Vance makes it sound like Trump should be credited with Epstein’s arrest. In fact there is no evidence Trump reported anything before Epstein’s arrest in Florida.

what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jaił for littering but a corporation can poıson the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jaił.
Instead of attacking public education, we should be focused on strengthening our schools, supporting educators, and making sure every student has the resources they need to succeed – and that is exactly what we will do in New Mexico.
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.

Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.
When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism.
We found that the request came directly from the White House.

The Roberts Court has systematically rewritten the Constitution to shield billionaires and insulate executives from criminal liability. This is a profound constitutional crisis. Congress must use its impeachment power. Demand your representatives act now: 👇 https://t.co/YNSdo72WFd
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.
My column: Had the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office did their job and protected Epstein's victims, Epstein's deal could have been revoked for violations. And he could have been sent to prison and never harmed anyone ever again. https://t.co/JcVNZOKMLk
USPS is threatening not to deliver mail-in ballots to voters in states that don't hand over voter lists.
This plan will disenfranchise millions of voters who need to vote by mail.
We filed a motion to stop USPS’s plan & ensure that all voters who want to vote by mail can do so.
This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.
A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.
It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:
56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.
More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.
343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.
That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.
The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:
The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.
Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.
Now look at the individual leaderboard:
- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade
And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.
She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.
The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.
The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.
And the cruelest part is this:
A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.
But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.
They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.
The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.
Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions.
So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally.
We must strip Section 224 from the Pentagon budget.
A hundred years ago, the eastern bluebird was one of the most common birds in the country. Then it nearly disappeared.
Here's the problem: a bluebird can't build its own home. Neither can a chickadee or a wren. They're cavity nesters with no tools to dig a hole, so they move into ones that already exist: an old woodpecker hole, a rotted knot in a tree, a hollow in a dead limb, a soft spot in a wooden fence post.
Then we launched a relentless effort to tidy the world and put everything in its right place.
We cut down the dead trees, the "ugly" snags, and hauled them off. We swapped the old wooden fence posts for metal. We cleaned up every hollow stump and dying branch. And just like that, the nesting spots were gone.
Worse, two birds we'd imported from Europe, house sparrows and starlings, muscled into the few cavities left and threw the bluebirds out. By the 1970s, bluebird numbers had fallen by nearly 90%.
Here's where things began to turn. Ordinary people started nailing wooden boxes to posts. Just boxes, with a hole the right size. And the bluebirds came back, all the way back, one of the greatest comebacks in American conservation, built almost entirely by regular folks in their own yards with a little lumber.
So here's where you come in. A nest box isn't a cute decoration. It's a replacement for the dead tree we took down, a hole in the world for a bird that can't make its own.
Put one up, with the correct hole size for the bird you want, on a smooth pole a predator can't climb, and you stop being a bystander to that story.
