Police departments say they're facing a staffing crisis.

A Bloomberg analysis shows many major city departments have just as many — or even more — officers as they did 15 years ago, when crime was much higher https://t.co/1JttMPSWhX

Pompeo was on the phone call where Trump signaled to Zelensky that he was withholding Javelins from Ukraine — which had been fighting a war with Russia since 2014 — unless Zelensky gave him political dirt on Hunter and Joe Biden.

Did the editors at people magazine just think if the story doesn’t use the word abortion … no one would notice? https://t.co/L0X9laIPeg

Republicans: 14 year olds should work in dangerous environments like mines. 12 year old should be forced to carry their rapist’s baby.

Hey @NBCNews, why have you put quotes around clinical depression? Are you suggesting that's something unusual or questionable? You wouldn't say someone was being treated for "cancer" so why the quotes here?

@RonDeSantisFL DeSantis claimed that the shelves were empty because "they hadn't put the books out yet to begin with."

That is a lie.

The books were removed because teachers in Duval County were told to remove the books or risk violating Florida law

SO INSPIRED by the #USWNT players doing interviews, meeting fans, and just enjoying their kids on the field after the game. I'm gonna need a photo of @alexmorgan13 talking to @juliefoudy and the @hbomax team with her daughter in her hip. So badass!!

The Right is up in arms over the Ohio train derailment, but they’re responsible for the very things – dismantling regulations and favoring corporate profits over worker and public safety – that made this disaster possible. Listen to the full podcast now on @ApplePodcasts

Samantha Montano: Local officials in East Palestine, Ohio were tasked with responding to a crisis. Instead, they created one. https://t.co/YCFHMyGi3j

American fascism is spreading through our country's Evangelical churches (and the Republican Party) through Christian Nationalism. European fascism largely competed against religion. American fascism will use religion.

Union rail workers with @railroadworkers have warned of a "ticking time bomb" saying, “In the last 10 years, Class I carriers have dramatically increased both the length and tonnage of the average train while cutting back maintenance and inspection.” /2

Several of the nation’s most prominent columnists have assured us the only reason why they’re so focused on leftwing “cancel culture” is because they are worried about a “free speech crisis.” Apparently, they aren’t quite as concerned about state censorship.

It’s disqualifying.

I'm trapped as UnitedHealthcare customer because it's what my husbands job switched too and I wish we had the power to go anywhere else.

13/ We also don’t think Chris’ case is unique, which is why we’re looking to hear from people — patients, medical staff, insurance insiders — who can help shed light on the millions of health insurance denials in the U.S. https://t.co/uGPzbUdeFa

Thread. As bad as Ohio is, it isn't the whole picture and this thread shows it to you.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

We are very likely witnessing a full blown government-led coverup of an environmental disaster in Ohio. You cannot talk to residents near the train crash and come to any other conclusion in my opinion. I’m genuinely shocked reading and seeing what I am.
