Discussed the Ebola response with a senior CDC staffer yesterday. “We’re getting a lot of our info from the news media,” he told me, adding that CDC can’t move quickly “when you have to go through 6 layers of authorization just to take a dump.”

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/adm…

Drawing a map that gives New Orleans no representation via executive order. A disgraceful assault on democracy and hard earned civil rights in the south:.
Piper Hutchinson@ByPiperHutch

Louisiana lawmakers will begin the work of adopting a new congressional map on Friday. The Chair (R) of the committee overseeing redistricting predicted dropping to a single majority Black district that would be based in Baton Rouge #lalege #lagov lailluminator.com/2026/05/04/lou…

Why do you spread such dishonest bullshit @joerogan? Hillary publicly conceded & congratulated Trump the morning after Election Day. She then didn’t say a word about the 2016 election for 3yrs. And Trump didn’t just “question” the election. He refused to accept the result. He lied about it. And still does. And then he committed crimes trying to overthrow the election. He’s the only president in American history to do ANY of that. And he’s trying to fuck with the elections this year. And he again won’t accept the election results this year. So yeah Rogan, you attack our elections process like that, you ARE a threat to democracy.
matrixbot@thematrixb0t

Joe Rogan: "They'll pretend that Hillary Clinton didn't do multiple speeches where she said that the election was stolen, Russia stole the election, with no evidence. But when [Trump] questions the election, it's a threat to democracy."

Your COVID mRNA vaccine may have accidentally helped fight cancer. MD Anderson studied 884 lung cancer patients on immunotherapy. 180 of them got a COVID mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting treatment. Results (AACR 2026): - Vaccinated group: 37.3 months median survival - Unvaccinated group: 20.6 months - Nearly doubled. The mechanism: mRNA acts like a siren for your immune system. It floods the body with type 1 interferon and upregulates PD-L1, the exact protein that checkpoint drugs target. The vaccine didn't fight COVID here. It supercharged the cancer treatment. This wasn't planned. It was discovered by accident in retrospective data. But 884 patients is not a small number.

This is really chilling. Like a scene from a dystopian movie, and alarming for anyone who cares about democracy. A judicial nominee flagrantly flouting the constitution about Trump's eligibility for a third term. The constitution is unambiguous. He is not eligible.
Brian Allen@allenanalysis

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

Pete Hegseth falsely testified to both the House and the Senate last week that troops were deployed to voting places in 15 states under Joe Biden in 2024. Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election ordered by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries told me that *zero troops* were sent to voting places. The Pentagon declined to comment. Fact check: cnn.com/2026/05/04/pol…

Disappointing to see Democrats platforming MAHA grifters like The Food Babe. Liability for glyphosate is extremely complex & has huge implications for agricultural, economic, & food security. It’s too important to let a Facebook supplement quack drive such critical policy
Cory Booker@CoryBooker

This was a great victory this week. House Republicans moved to stop chemical company liability by giving them an immunity shield. The people fought back and the language got stripped. I will continue to lead and fight in The Senate against the corporations and their lobbyists that want to prevent people from having the legal ability to fight the companies that poison us. OP: @thefoodbabe
