"We are living through a revolutionary change," @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes of the Trump era. "For the past decade, American government and business alike have slowly begun to adopt the kleptocratic model pioneered by countries such as Russia and China."

US removes sanctions from Antal Rogán, aide to Hungary’s Viktor Orbán

Re: Ukraine - “BuT tRuMp jUsT waNtS tO EnD tHe War!” narrative drives me up a wall. Yeah, and we could have ended WWII very quickly if we’d just surrendered to the Axis powers.

“I can only come to a single conclusion that there was not an appreciation for having somebody who was rigorously science-driven within the organization,” Marks said.

This administration is rushing to create an actual, technical dark age for future historians and scholars. I can't think of a punishment serious enough to fit the magnitude of the crime

American taxpayers provide the resources for CDC’s specialists and have the right to hear directly from them without interference by politicians. Eliminating communications staff from CDC means we all have less information on how to protect ourselves from health threats.

How about a fund for the cops who were attacked?

🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE Senator Schiff calls for resignations of Trump officials over “Signal-Gate”

When I saw the Trump administration was withholding critical refugee funding, I didn’t stay quiet—I demanded answers. That pressure paid off. The admin released $47M! Refugee resettlement agencies in TX can finally get the critical resources they’ve been waiting for. #LeadershipThatDelivers #TX32

I was pleased to meet air traffic controllers from Vermont today. Whether you’re flying from BTV or one of our state’s regional airports, these are some of the people keeping you safe. Let me thank the air controllers for the difficult and important work they do.

Senator Jon Ossoff calls for the resignations of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over the Signal group chat scandal.

How is this real.

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They’re gonna have to move the group chat to a more secure site, like Nude Africa.

no offense to Jeff but if you are alleging the head editor of the Atlantic was cunning enough to circumvent all your security safeguards that kinda makes you sound even worse

Come. On.

“Physicians at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, say they’ve now treated a handful of children who were given so much vitamin A that they had signs of liver damage. Some of them had received unsafe doses of supplements for several weeks in an attempt to prevent a measles infection”

The Trump drastic disruptions to government, scientific research, education, health, media, information, and foreign relations is changing and will change America, likely in ways that make more Americans resemble Trump supporters every year. This could be the last of this America for some time.

RFK Jr. told people to take Vitamin A rather than the vaccine. Multiple children ended up poisoned. And the measles outbreak is ongoing.

Get ready for more censorship, less dissent, less intellectual freedom, less funding for research in all areas, more prematurely ended careers, less biosafety, less health security, less preparedness, fewer vaccines, fewer jobs, & more dead people. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

I thought this was a joke, at first:

Jay Bhattacharya spent the pandemic railing against the medical establishment and making impossible demands of them. He is now the medical establishment. Everything that happens now is his responsibility. We are allowed to make demands of him and call him a failure if he doesn’t do them.

Breaking News: Democrat James Malone just defeated a Republican in a Pennsylvania district that voted for Trump by over 15 points. This is a huge embarrassment for Elon Musk, who urged people to vote for the GOP candidate.

Pete Hegseth literally said that he doesn’t wash his hands cause he can’t see any germs with his own eyes and some people still really thought he should be in charge of our entire military. Idk kinda feels like there might be more people at fault for his incompetence.

I want Jay Bhattacharya to fund and successfully run head to head RCTs of MS drugs. What do you want him to do? He is now the medical establishment.

New episode with @wendyorent.bsky.social discussing this awful new book. Part 1 of 2 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Geier was disciplined for i practicing medicine without a license by helping his father write false diagnoses for children with autism in order to prescribe them Lupron, based on a completely baseless claim that vaccines increase testosterone levels. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... 1/4

"It's an ill bird that fouls its own nest" #nature

The Vice President is a long time adherent of a bunch of self described monarchists, neofascists, and race realists and the press has never showed it an ounce of interest. Maybe 1/20th of the voting public has any clue. If you want to learn about it you have to go to podcasts and independent outlets

so deeply american to force a marginalized group to pay taxes for services they'll never get and then weaponize that tax data to lock them up in concentration camps

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Everyone needs to watch this. @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK6f...

There's a whole tier of Democratic politicians who think the way to solve fascism is to say stuff you would have said eight years ago, but with a curse word in it.

Howard Lutnick is worth around 2 billion dollars. But you poor people and old people who don't get a Social Security check this month need to shut up because you're really harshing his mellow.

It's been several hours since I first watched this clip of billionaire Howard Lutnick ruminating about Social Security, and I still can't believe it. It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.
