Congressional Republicans killed Donald Trump's bill because it wasn't cruel enough — and now it's apparently just right. Hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans could lose access to their health care. What's big and beautiful about that?

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

What in the entire fuck is this? Asking for TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, fired by Elon’s baby brainwormrot, DOGE. IDGAF how many rockets he builds, I’m not going to “forget” the Nazi salutes, or the megalomaniacal approach to sucking MAGA dick and carrying water for fascism.

Trump is gutting Voice of America — the same tool that helped us win the Cold War — and replacing it with propaganda from OAN. He’s not defending America. He’s building his brand. And he’s making us vulnerable to real enemies. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/killing-th...

I have rock bottom expectations for congressional Republicans but the fact that they actually used Trump’s dipshit phrase for the bill suggests I’m still overestimating them

Cancer screening is one of the most complicated topics in epidemiology and it feels like a good time to write a piece about all of that. One of the most hotly-debated things in the field is when/if we should screen for various cancers!

Remember when she funded an anti trans bill, then when it passed, posted a picture of herself with wine and cigars and bragged ‘I love it when a plan comes together?’ That is literally where that money for these games go. Buying her trash, funds anti LGBTQ+ laws.

Note the language: "ABC must not say that Qatar is giving ME a FREE Boeing 747 Airplane." You'd like to think that Trump wouldn't sue ABC/Disney over this, and that ABC/Disney wouldn't cave if it faced such a suit. But given the track record of both parties, that's far from a sure thing.

One of my favorite concepts I learned from @whysharksmatter.bsky.social’s book is “fear ecology”—how animals change behavior out of fear of predators, not just from being hunted. For example, Bluesky has few TERFs, not because we eat them, but because they fear we might.
