Can you imagine the outrage if a Democratic Senator or AOC told a crowd, "Well, we're all gonna die," when asked about Medicaid cuts? Yeah that just happened with MAGA Senator Joni Ernst. Out of the news by tonight.

The total lack of concern or awareness from these people that they have just participated in unprecedentedly illegal, unconstitutional, destructive activities that have killed people & dismantled essential public functions suggests they are not only arrogant & ignorant schmucks, but also sociopaths.

"the path we’re now embarking upon as a nation is not only one that will have ruinous consequences for the rule of law but incredibly corrupting ones for the free market as well. Companies that are sufficiently Trump-friendly will get a license to break the law along with their political alliance."

Other than the wildly unconstitutional & illegal destruction of swathes of the government, the wildly unconstitutional & illegal security violations, & the millions who will die because of the destruction of USAID, sure. Journalism, what is it, anyway?

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

For many years, ICE has agreed not to deport certain people for humanitarian reasons, including this mother of three with no criminal record who has strong ties to her community. Now the Trump admin needs "easy" deportations; so they're revoking stays of removal without any warning at all.
