Nature ran a piece finding that 25 million people could die as a result of ending USAID. This puts Trump and Musk in the category of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century in terms of unnecessary lives lost. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

OF COURSE cars suck, but so many white anti-car urbanists are folks with no concept of how existing public transit infrastructure makes it all but impossible to navigate the city safely with kids UNLESS you have a car. ESPECIALLY if you aren't in a wealthy neighborhood. And guess who that impacts.

Republicans in Congress really want to take food out of the mouths of hungry children and medicine away from the sick to fund tax cuts for people who don't need them. Tell your Senators: Vote NO on the Trump budget.

Trump’s $1 million-per-seat secret dinner is “the most brazen act of corruption by a president in our lifetimes, probably in a century, possibly ever,” says Chris Hayes. “Call it the Met Gala of presidential pay-for-play.”

Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire. The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour." Call it what it is: corruption.

Brooklyn Leonard was 14 weeks pregnant when her water broke, but her doctor wrote she could only intervene when there was “concern for maternal mortality.” It was only after visits to 3 Houston hospitals over 5 days that Leonard was able to get the care she needed. Read more: propub.li/3Zd4Vlu

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

just because John Roberts decided that the only way a politician can be corrupt is by accepting a cartoon sack of cash with ‘$$$’ on it while explicitly saying “I am accepting this bribe in exchange for an official act” does not make it true

i will say again that given the trajectory of the white house so far, strident opposition a la 2017 would have absolutely been the most prudent and effective decision and the absence of that opposition in the first two months made things demonstrably worse.

The cowards at Paul Weiss own this most of all, but they are joined in disgrace by Milbank, Willkie Farr, and Skadden. Trump suggested there are other firms that have agreed to debase themselves, but did not reveal the names.
