Gold standard science

100% correct!

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

Today's newsletter is about the study Republicans in Utah ordered about trans youth... that they're now ignoring. www.readtpa.com/p/the-study-...

It would really be great if, when journalists are interviewing Stephen Miller, who goes off a tirade on courts curbing executive power, could ask, What article of the Constitituon grants the power to: 1. Control immigration 2. Regulate international commerce 3. Suspend habeas

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

Imagine being told that high winds are driving a massive wildfire directly towards your city, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. 😢 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We've picked out the best horror, sci-fi, and genre titles coming to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and beyond, including 'Jaws,' 'Indiana Jones,' 'Alien,' and 'Predator.'

How could we have known? Aside from the racism, the lawsuits, the rage, the lies, the fascist cosplay, and…

Corrupt crooks are so happy to be free.

We have a heroin addict running our nation's Healthcare, a Ketamine addict deciding where all of our tax dollars go, a drunk leading our militarily,a puppy killer in charge of our nation's security and a speed freak in the Oval Office. What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve never seen a dissent like this (on SCOTUS stripping away the asylum parole of nearly 500K human beings on the emergency docket) utexas.app.box.com/s/fkvbpqvf8w...

We’re sure many of you have heard about the growing controversy in Oklahoma, where parents are pushing back against a new curriculum quietly pushed through by the state’s superintendent.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

VOTER: “But people will die!” (if you kick them of Medicaid) ERNST: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Lmao someone on Reddit brought to my attention that DuPage county took all their sales tax revenue intended for transportation and spent it on cops and now they’re panicking because the updated usage requirements in the new bill are going to defund their sheriff’s department.

There’s your empty shelf. US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

Missouri is one of the states that has agreed to hand over personal data of those receiving food assistance. The data would include social security numbers & addresses of recipients, causing concerns with some arguing that this request by the federal gov violates privacy laws. #Pinks

It makes me feel sick knowing so many Americans believe him

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

“This is just taking money from households and transferring it to banks and credit card companies, and to water and power utility companies.... It means Americans will pay the costs in higher household bills.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

💔🇺🇦 Civilian deaths in Ukraine have increased by 59% over the past year, — UN

Seriously, WTF? This is a colossal scandal.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

The Wisconsin Judge indicted by DOJ has filed a motion to dismiss her indictment. "The indictment is an ugly innovation." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Trump officials say the migrants are a public safety threat and a drain on the nation’s resources." In terms of the groups the Trump administration is referring to here, this is simply false. wapo.st/3FpDQFh

They are dropping all pretense that they aren't already selected by the Federalist Society and Heritage. Why pretend anymore?

The New York Times has found at least two more fake citations in the MAHA report. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

Make America Healthy Again report by HHS riddled with errors—more than just the “minor formatting issues” the White House claims. “…some of those studies [cited in the report] did not actually exist.” via @apnews.com: apnews.com/article/maha...

Oh

When the Senate returns Monday their first priority will be a crypto bill that enables Trump’s corruption. While Republicans attempt to throw millions of Americans off health care, some Democrats are working with them to pass the “Genius Act.”

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

The organization that enabled all of the worst aspects of Trumpism is now…..

Even heartless Americans who don't care about 500,000 human beings having their lives upended should worry that the inability to fill jobs in key sectors like construction and farming will hurt the economy for all of us.

Here is Joni Ernst sharing the real Republican plan. "Well...we all are going to die." We are cheaper when we are dead. What an awful person.

They were always going to go after the easy targets. These lazy fucks don’t want to chase actual criminals.

Construction workers. Right before hurricane season.

Reuters is reporting that Donald Trump’s tariffs and ridiculous trade war is costing companies more than $34 billion in lost sales and higher costs, according to an analysis of corporate disclosures. So. Much. Winning. 🙄
