@pattmlatimes You should get someone to make you miniature hats 👒 for you to hand out to exemplary sources; it’s a covered expense item, right?

The VA is down 600 doctors and about 1,900 nurses so far this year, the first time the agency has seen net losses in years.

At several facilities, more than a third of the positions for doctors are unfilled.

8 August 1924 | French Jewish boy, William Schwartzmann, was born in Paris.

He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 23 September 1942. He did not survive.

Grieving the loss of one of my best friends, Jim Lovell. His extraordinary legacy is cemented by many space missions: Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.

Our mutual respect had no limits. The Gemini XII mission we flew together paved the way for the Apollo missions.

Heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family.

Farewell Jim. You will be missed, my friend. Godspeed!

[NASA @NASA]

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.

Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI

Rewriting history: The Smithsonian removes Trump, the only president impeached twice, from its exhibit about impeachment. "Only three presidents have seriously faced removal," the exhibit now says, referring to Johnson, Nixon and Clinton. @janaykingsberry https://t.co/EKDbLjSqPU

Senator Mullin was 2.5 years late reporting seven stock purchases by his wife and about 1.5 years late disclosing three Oklahoma-connected municipal security purchases for himself.

That appears to be a violation of the STOCK Act. https://t.co/2DkueBWiJd

Warren: "Powell himself said he would've lowered interest rates in February but for the fact of Trump's tariff chaos. So that means that if you have credit cards, car loans, you've been paying more for 6 months now because of one human being -- Donald Trump, and the chaos he causes."

ICE has absolutely zero business detaining or deporting U.S. citizens — yet time and time again, they continue to do exactly that.

I just introduced a bill to stop them. https://t.co/NEeKwRKZyd

Sometimes people sound guilty even if they aren’t. But “whatever probability you had in your mind that the Epstein files contain damaging material, you should probably raise it after listening to Trump’s remarks on the subject,” @jonathanchait argues: https://t.co/gH9He5uoJu

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Watch the chilling Frontline documentary on Trump‘s hijacking of every law and norm in a democracy. Realize how Amy Conley Barrett, John Roberts and 5 partisan hack cronies are facilitating the takeover. Along with the Republican cult in Congress. https://t.co/7q4O93rBAk

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

For three years, the state of Texas has refused to release body cam footage and more records related to the Uvalde massacre.

This should have been done back in 2022, but Texas DPS refuses to acknowledge the abject failure of that day.

It’s time to release the records. #txlege

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The memo from Trump's DOJ & FBI:

"The files include a large volume of images and videos of victims who are either minors or appear to be minors...This review confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims."

Epstein's crimes are not a hoax.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

The framers of the Constitution thought political parties might cause the death of the republic, but they always believed that members of Congress would stick up for their designated powers even above party loyalty. I guess they were wrong about that. https://t.co/8m2c0iU1qz

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Please, this isn’t about saving money.

Republicans just exploded the debt by at least 4 trillion dollars!!!

To fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isn’t going to fix that mess.

Neither is defunding programs to help starving children.

[Senator Angela Alsobrooks @Sen_Alsobrooks]

Trump’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services thinks women only have value if they "raise children" and "propagate the species."

It’ll be a no from me.
