ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. According to the ⁦@thetimes⁩ When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US. https://t.co/04Zx6Tegb3

This whole tangle👇 is such perfect example of Trumpian greed, nativism, and incompetence:

1. Trump wants ‘deals,’ not treaties or law, w/ trade partners

No one knows quite what a deal is, but that’s the whole point. It keeps the terms loose & vague so that Trump can renege.

Junior's sister @KerryKennedyRFK ripped her bro @SecKennedy a new one. She's one brave human, and 100% right. Her dad was a hero to me and responsible for my political photography career. His namesake's a disaster and embarrassment. @mikebarnicle @gtconway3d @JohnJHarwood

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

It is sickening to watch these very greedy people crawl to Trump

[David Hume Kennerly @kennerly]

A rocket from @joekennedy to his cousin @SecKennedy telling him to quit. Gutsy move joining cousin Caroline who said junior shouldn't have been confirmed in the first place. They're both right. @LincolnSquareHQ @mikebarnicle @JohnJHarwood @NormOrnstein @gtconway3d @BillKristol

And guess who was President both times.

This is nothing less than the most important federal government resignation letter in history, written in opposition to Trump-Kennedy policy that “will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults.”

Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call. 

If the president is sincere about the issue of crime and violence, there's no question in my mind that he will likely be sending the troops into Louisiana and Mississippi to address the unconscionable wave of violence that continues to plague those states.

Same old Republican bullshit—blame everything but easy access to guns.

A 2022 study on mass murders found no link between SSRIs and shootings. People with mental illness are more often victims of violent crime than perpetrators: https://t.co/sddiomobfy

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Americans do not have more mental illness than people other high income countries. They do have easier access to arsenals.

It’s the fucking guns.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

The Vice President trying to turn a mass school shooting into a culture war because he knows he can’t defend his stance on guns.

It’s not the prayers, it’s the refusal to act.

So what did fired CDC director do wrong? Someone tell them that “Alignment with Trump administration’s mission” is not the job of a CDC director—it’s to save lives.

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

What's happening at the CDC should frighten every American

Regardless of whether you are MAGA, MAHA, neither, or don't give a damn about labels or politics.

It's unclear whether the CDC director—confirmed just weeks ago—has been fired or not. Absolute shitshow.

And incredible career professionals resigned tonight, sounding a massive alarm.

This is pure chaos that leaves the country unprepared.

Imagine cases of Ebola in the U.S. right now?

We would be an absolute mess.

It's easy to tune this all out, to celebrate what you might see as 'cleaning house', or just not care what's happening.

But I promise you, when confronted with the next serious health threat, we will quickly see everything we've lost.

We will regret this. I promise, we will regret this.

Trump ordered this during his first term, despite aides telling him it wouldn’t do much to make the steel hotter, per WaPo.

The paint was peeling off a year and a half later.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

For decades I have swum and boated in this lake. You don’t have to get the government to raise its water level to kayak. You get in, push off, and paddle. Decadent empire stuff.

(🚨) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could really bring *hope*. I spent 15 hours curating/labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind (+ lots of Easter eggs).

“Money is pouring in like no one has ever seen before,” he said today. Just for the record, the tariffs haven’t started yet.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

On the day that Trump sanctioned every ally of the United States in the world, his team made special arrangements for the head of Russia's sovereign fund to visit DC & Russia was one of the few countries in the world not hit be new tariffs today. I hope the American people get an explanation for this. I find it outrageous. https://t.co/aiOxAzrOBY
