Passing this number along. Our country doesn’t care about us right now, but apparently others do.

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

“Trump is a flimflam man who will promise anything to anybody and count on the suckers forgetting tomorrow what he said yesterday,” @davidfrum.bsky.social writes. “His Cabinet officers, however, are gradually revealing the true cost of the Eat Less scam”:

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

In just over a month on the job, RFK Jr. has taken more steps against vaccines than perhaps any other top health official in modern American history, writes Nicholas Florko.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social if the Department of Education is gutted then does it follow that the threats issued to states and school systems would become meaningless without the threat of withholding federal $?

NEW: Biggest Federal Employee Unions Says Shutdown is Preferable to Elon/Trump CR talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bigge...

A White House Military Office aide in plainclothes was on “Football” duty this morning as Trump arrived at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, Florida. The ~45-lb. satchel accompanies Trump 24/7, enabling him to authorize the use of any of our ~1,770 deployed nuclear weapons at any time.

THE TRUTH COMES OUT Trump’s White House says the veterans his admin fired were perhaps “not fit” for their jobs. An obscene way to talk about America’s veterans. They put their lives on the line for us. We owe them a debt we can never repay. Dems are fighting for them. Trump is mocking them.

Start saving now, says former SSA chief www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

NEW: When the Trump Admin abruptly cancelled almost all USAID programs, it also refused to pay $2bln the U.S. govt owes **for work that’s been done.** One of the cut-off programs in Syria couldn’t afford security and was robbed by masked men. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

NEW: I am hearing from multiple sources that Lt General Telita Crosland, Director of the Defense Health Agency, has been pushed out in an on-going purge. Official internal agency news said "retired" but I'm told relieved of duty or at least forced into retirement. www.defense.gov/About/Biogra...

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

Mission Accomplished, Senator Collins

The large clinical trial of a new Covid vaccine pill (not shot) was halted by RFK Jr www.aol.com/multimillion... The Covid nasal vaccines may be next up to be axed.

A party that fears its own voters

This is so goddamn embarrassing. www.axios.com/2025/02/24/u...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
