It is appalling how little coverage the shootings at the CDC received. A government agency was attacked with over 180 rounds of gunfire and David Rose, a responding police officer, was killed in the line of duty.

Vaccine disinformation and hostility against science have escalated to deadly violence — a threat not just to institutions, but to all of us. Dr. @celinegounder's reflections are essential reading for anyone concerned about the consequences of disinformation and the silence that often follows these tragedies: https://t.co/EcKrzXeVBx

Mike Johnson would hate for you to know that nearly 40% of his district is on Medicaid.

Or that 1.6 million Louisianans — about 35% of the state — rely on it.

It would be terrible if this information went viral.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

WISCONSIN: You have the power to REJECT Musk and the oligarchy buying our elections. Send a powerful message to the whole country.  Vote today for Susan Crawford.

Polls are open NOW.  

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

[Chelsea Clinton @ChelseaClinton]

Lies and conspiracies about my family and me are nothing new. Still, I am particularly troubled by the absurd claims that continue to pervade social media this week, fact checks be damned.

Facts: I’m proud of the Clinton Foundation work that has helped tens of millions of people worldwide. Our impact speaks for itself. I don’t take a cent from the Foundation. Never have. In fact, my family personally contributes meaningfully to our work each year.

Misinformation isn't just noise—it's a weapon. Efforts to undermine good work won't stop us, and we stand in solidarity with those who are committed to truth, public health, progress, and the endless potential of our future.

The University of Missouri is part of the Soybean Innovation Lab. Missouri, as a state, is #7 in the nation for soybean production. It is our #1 crop. The annual on farm value of Missouri’s soybean crop is more than $2.5 billion. #moleg @GovMikeKehoe /1

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.

I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.

People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at https://t.co/ubo0zQRMn0.

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights —ie causes that threatened Putins dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want.

I have never once, in my 45 years of living, been harassed in a bathroom by a trans female.

However, I have been harassed by a man walking down the street minding my own business many, many, many, many times.

Gender neutral bathrooms aren't the problem.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Interesting timing, isn’t it? Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” rolls out a plan, and suddenly NASA’s future is on the chopping block—right as SpaceX stands to gain.

This isn’t about efficiency; it’s about funneling public resources into private pockets.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

This bill is just the start of the President-Elect’s purge.

We cannot afford to undo the progress this country has made.

Some immediate steps I believe that all trans people should take:

- Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and this will likely be shut down under Trump.

- Update every ID your state allows you to.

- Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

Even if Harris wins, a reminder that it should never have been this close. And we will need to reckon with the fact that half the country voted for fascism for a long time.

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.

With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.

If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.

When you love something, you fight for it—and I love this country with all my heart.

[AskAubry 🦋 🐆🦝 @ask_aubry]

Them: why don't rape victims come forward?

Because a Judge forced a 12 year old rape victim to write an apology letter to her rapist and the cop that worked hard to accuse the victim of a crime.
