April Wilkens was incarcerated for killing her ex-fiancé after years of abuse and police reports that went nowhere.

There are no “perfect victims,” and her story was complicated. Under a new law, could she have a second chance at freedom?

In the midst of an Ebola outbreak: we have no confirmed CDC Director, Surgeon General, or FDA Commissioner. Half of NIH's Institutes & Centers lack permanent leadership.

Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is leaving work at 4pm & spouting conspiracy theories. This is public health under Trump.

Hey DOGE and NEWSMAX, can we get an update here?  

Turns out preventing a flesh-eating parasite from invading U.S. livestock wasn’t government waste…

U.S. Sen. Tim Sheehy has proposed eliminating the U.S. Forest Service’s airworthiness inspections for aircraft that fight wildfires. The idea itself could benefit Sheehy personally.

why would trump's immigration policies contribute to the insolvency of social security? i was told that undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.

Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

New: Transportation industry money has been pouring into the congressional campaign of Michael Alfonso, a 26-year-old political unknown from Wisconsin whose father-in-law happens to be Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy. https://t.co/nzUabaDanv

They kept a list of trans people. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us

The credible allegations against Cesar Chavez for rape and sexual abuse are horrific. My heart is with the survivors who, for decades, have seen their abuser lauded as a hero.

As one of them says: “The movement — that’s the hero."

[Senator Jacky Rosen @SenJackyRosen]

Your daily reminder: Senate Republicans blocked my bill to pay TSA agents and prevent long lines like this one.

[Patrick Gaspard @patrickgaspard]

It’s impossible to get through this Cesar Chavez story without getting physically ill. Shaking. One of the most excruciating ever. Damn.
Hearts out to these brave women.
“In the end, they said that the story of Chavez’s movement was their story, too — of the women who marched beside the men, worked in the fields, took care of the children. The movement, they said, was more than one man.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

@KatieMiller It's amazing how much rightoid discourse is just them not understanding things, thus making discourse impossible.

I would offer that Alex Pretti putting his body—with his hands up—between a woman and the BP agent who had just violently shoved her into the snow, offer stark competing visions of manhood. Pretti, a nurse caring for veterans, who took a face full of pepper spray to shield that woman, is a much better masculine ideal that the masked coward shoving the woman and executing a man on his knees. MAGA may venerate the latter, but most people in a healthy society want the former.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Alex Pretti, who was killed by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis, worked as an ICU nurse caring for veterans. A video shows him reading a final salute for a patient he treated.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨HOLY FU*KING HELL: A physician’s sworn affidavit just destroyed the official narrative.

He says he ran to the scene, identified himself as a doctor, and BEGGED to help Alex Pretti.

ICE agents blocked him, demanded a physician’s license, and still weren’t performing CPR.

When he finally got through, he found Pretti on his side with multiple gunshot wounds in his back and started CPR himself.

That’s the story: they shot him… then wouldn’t let a doctor treat him.
