This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Look there’s a lot of horrible things going on and it’s easy to get distracted but I don’t want anyone to forget that Stephen Miller went to Duke.

The way some people talk about the starvation and violence in Gaza--anti-Semitism is real AND criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic--is stupid. Everyone who wants democracy and self-determination should be speaking the same language about the same enemy: ULTRANATIONALISM and religious extremism.

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

🚨NEW: Four weeks ago, Trump terminated funding for legal services to support unaccompanied children. Now, children as young as 4 years old are having to represent themselves in court when facing deportation. How does America come back from this?

The next phase of DOGE: Combine all the data they've tapped into and use it for ... whatever they want: www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

Thanks to Elon Musk and his nighttime crew of computer hackers and misanthropes at DOGE, the door is closing on chances for countless young adults with disabilities to live with dignity and self-sufficiency. We must stop this fanatical destruction of opportunity for young people with disabilities.

NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future. Trump laid off nearly all of them.

To state the obvious: DOGE is still out there, chipping away at the foundations of government infrastructure. Slightly less obvious, maybe, is that the DOGE project has recently entered a new phase: It’s all about the data.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

This country was founded by believers. God fearing people are meant to run it. Or else... we get a Supreme Court that has to legislate morality in a vain attempt to rein in a dictator who believes he, the One chosen by the divine, is above the law.

The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

A depressed economy was one of the conditions of success for the Third Reich's rise. The Republican regime lacked that on 1/20. By the 80th anniversary of Hitler's death, Trump's policies may have forced another Great Depression. The divisiveness, the hatred. Everything will get worse. On purpose.

Trump tariff levels are based on a basic error in math and economics which he will never admit to because the most important thing is never admitting you are wrong even if you end up destroying the economy
