An entire small-town police department in Kansas raided a newspaper's offices and its reporters' homes because the paper got a tip about a well-connected person's DUI

Shout out to Dave McKenna today, and also all the other journalists whose work helped run Dan Snyder out of town. washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…

Let me get this straight...
Students getting relief from onerous debt is unconstitutional.
But justices secretly getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in gifts, vacations, and free housing and education for their family members is just fine.
Hello?

Total student loan debt that would have been erased for millions of Americans: $400 billion
Total cost of the Trump tax cuts that largely benefited the wealthy and corporations: $1.9 trillion
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
Insurers’ denial rates — a critical measure of how reliably they pay for customers’ care — remain mostly secret to the public. Federal and state regulators have done little to change that. propublica.org/article/how-o… @fieldsrobin

Tennessee for real just expelled the two Black guys but not the white woman.
Man folks. Man. They just went out there and straight up did the racism.

Walgreens caves, and won’t sell abortion pills in states where it is legal.
So much for putting a priority on the health of their customers.
Republicans across the country are doing everything possible to take away the right to reproductive freedom.
They must be stopped.

The company whose train derailed in East Palestine, OH has a policy that allows staffers to instruct crews to ignore alerts from track sensors that flag possible mechanical issues.
It’s in the company rulebook.

I’m trying to gather information on this very serious situation in Ohio involving a train derailment with hazardous chemicals.
What I will say is this. Trust your eyes, ears and nose and get the hell out of there if your senses are telling you too.

NEW: @GovRonDeSantis - who is trying to pass permitless carry right now in Florida - asked that guns be banned at his election party at the Tampa Convention Center. State law allows guns in the facility unless a renter insists on a gun-free event. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

This is enraging and gross behavior from @TempleUniv and we all need to completely freak out
ALT Dear Temple Student: As a result of your participation in the TUGSA strike, your tuition remission has been removed for the spring semester. You now owe the full balance listed in TUpay, which is due by Thursday. March 9. If your balance is not paid-in-full by the due date, you will be assessed a $100 late payment fee and a financial hold will be placed on your student account. This hold will prevent future registration. For your convenience, you can make payment online by clicking TUpay Student Account. Thank you, The Bursar's Office

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs $2.85 to make.
Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.
Folks, this is what corporate greed looks like.

Beyond Cheney, anyone who truly loves democracy should be upset that Wyoming with 581,000 people actually HAS a Member of Congress and 2 senators while the residents of the nation’s capital city do NOT.

The price of insulin in the United States is so high it has led to nearly 4 in 5 diabetics who rely on it taking on debt.

This exchange between Prof. Khiara Bridges and @HawleyMO where she schools him completely (while also refusing to let him interrupt her) ....

Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.
Let’s start w/ why:
- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years
- 1 of those seats was stolen
- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…
