Universal paid maternity leave would eliminate MANY unnecessary adoptions in the US. How many? According to this study, somewhere between 65-80%: adoptioninstitute.org/dai-press/the-โฆ cc: @RepAnnieKuster
New in PN: RFK Jr. is a massive public health threat "Kennedy has articulated a vision that will, if enacted, lead to the deaths of untold numbers of people, many of whom have not even been born. It's difficult to overstate the long-term danger he poses" publicnotice.co/p/rfk-jr-publiโฆ
Trump's demand for recess appointments is about more than his nominees. I wrote about his viewthat following the Constitution is negotiable: "Once Republican Senators bypass one provision of the Constitution at Donald Trumpโs behest, theyโre all up for grabs."โฆ
A core problem: in America, we generally have to pay for the truth, but the disinformation floods us for free. Need to solve that fast.

Until this problem is fixed, America is broken. You can't save a country where people are misinformed, confused, lost, and deliberately incited to rage. Russia and our enemies won the information war without firing a bullet.
One-in-five Americans reports getting their news from influencers. A new study finds that news influencers are more likely to identify with the political right. trib.al/1zrw4hQ
Extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts will cost $4.6 trillion over the next decade, more than the ARP + IRA combined. And they want to add new cuts. So they're going to defund food stamps, clean energy investments, and Medicaid to pay for it.
TRUMP ALLIES EYE OVERHAULING MEDICAID, FOOD STAMPS IN TAX LEGISLATION President-elect Donald Trumpโs economic advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other federal safety netโฆ
Do you know how bad the details have to be for a man to be certain that it will get him fired from FOX
Hegseth agreed to pay an undisclosed amount to the woman because he feared that revelation of the matter "would result in his immediate termination from Fox," according to a statement from his lawyer.
This is why the entire narrative about Dems losing touch with the working class while Trump apparently showed he cares for them is so infuriating. Biden tried to give extra pay to 4 million workers. A Trump-appointed conservative judge just blocked him. No blowback for Trump.
NEW: A Texas federal judge has struck down a DOL rule that would have expanded overtime eligibility to four million new workers, kneecapping one of the Biden administrationโs most substantial labor policies. blawgo.com/XBrh8tH
Elon Muskโs appointment to the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency is a glaring conflict of interest and potential source of chaos. @marinakoren on what to expect from a โmove fast and break thingsโ approach to government: theatlantic.com/science/archivโฆ
New polling from @DataProgress confirms a strong inverse relationship between news consumption and support for Trump. Those who paid "a great deal" of attention to political news were Harris +6 while those who paid "none at all" went +19 points for Trump dataforprogress.org/insights/2024/โฆ
In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules. Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule. A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday. Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.
If you don't want the FBI to do vetting on your appointees, it's because you know you have serious problems - including national security threats - among your appointees. It's that simple.

On the bright side, for the history buffs, itโs pretty rare to be present for the fall of a 250 year old empire.
As we enter a harrowing new chapter in American life, remember this: we are stronger than we think. ๐งต

Meanwhile in Russia: State Duma member Adalbi Shkhagoshev said that Trump and Republicans intend to remain in power beyond 4 years and Trump needs Putin. Evgeny Popov noted they can only be equals and Trump wouldn't be in a position of global leadership. youtu.be/fHHUbiKtPFo
Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.
Bush-appointed former CIA director General Haydenโs thoughts on Tulsiโs DNI appointment:
Nominating Tulsi Gabbard to lead our intelligence community is incredibly reckless. Putting someone with known sympathies for foreign adversaries is not putting Americaโs interests first - itโs putting our security at risk.
Great ideas here ๐งต
Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/
Ignorance, disinformation, right wing media domination. Sigh.
