James Talarico: “The Southern Baptist Convention was pro-choice until the late 1970’s. This idea that to be a Christian means you have to be anti-gay and anti-abortion, there really is no historical theological biblical basis for that opinion”

All of the full-time employees in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vessel Sanitation Program were fired by Robert Kennedy last April.

What could go wrong? Now we know.

who wants the court to order Trump to rebuild the east wing exactly as it was -and fine him $300 million?

[Jonathan Reiner @JReinerMD]

Last year half of CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program staff were fired. This is the group responsible for investigating cruise ship outbreaks. The cuts were made despite the fact that US taxpayers don’t pay for this team. The cruise ship industry does.

I still can’t get an answer from Republican leadership: why does their farm bill shield pesticide companies like Bayer-Monsanto from liability for selling toxic pesticides that cause cancer? If the products are so safe, what are they so afraid of?

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

Coal ash is also more radioactive than nuclear waste. And now it’s going into your ground water that will go into drinking water and agriculture. Thanks MAGA.

Children in Lubbock, Texas were admitted to the hospital with liver damage. Not from measles. From vitamin A toxicity — because their parents followed RFK Jr.’s advice and gave them cod liver oil to treat measles. He is the sitting U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.

This is not the first time this has happened. In 2019, RFK Jr. traveled to Samoa and ran the same anti-vaccine campaign.

Vaccination rates dropped to 31%. Five months later: 5,700 cases. 83 dead. Most of them children under 4. He called it a “natural experiment.” The Senate confirmed him as HHS Secretary anyway. https://t.co/IIFqMOobvW

Americans aren't eating healthier mainly because affordable, nutritious food is hard to access - not because doctors don’t learn about nutrition or hospitals serve chicken nuggets and jello to kids with cancer.

SNAP cuts make it worse.

And our farm subsidies overwhelmingly favor corn, soy, and wheat (ingredients for cheap ultra-processed junk) over fruits and vegetables.

Blaming docs & hospitals ignores the real structural barriers that are the root of our poor health…

"We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers..
We promised to protect Ukraine from Russia.
We made Ukraine vulnerable.

So yes,this is our war."

Why isn’t the media talking about this?

[Joe Cooprider @joecooprider]

Reminder that Mueller indicted 26 Russians and 8 Americans for working together to interfere with the election. All 8 Americans were convicted in court, but 5 were pardoned by Trump.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

I've been trying to get the Treasury's hidden Epstein files turned over since 2023. Last night I tried again to get them disclosed and Republicans blocked my bill to do so.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

How did Netanyahu get evidence of Trump fucking kids to extort blackmail him into illegally striking Iran?

One word: Putin

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

The cover of the Lancet. It says it all.

@neal_katyal Thank you for your brilliant work, however, when you refer to the Justices, it’s not ‘Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Gorsuch’, as you said on NPR this AM.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

This is treason!
