Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: “We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

The brain drain will be when scientists are forced into other careers/jobs so that they can keep paying the bills. They will never return. There aren't enough science jobs in other countries to absorb even a fraction of those laid off.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

An 81-year-old Reagan appointee born during World War II has been protecting trans people in federal prison in the face of Trump admin efforts. Today, Judge Royce Lamberth sided with challengers who sought a class-wide preliminary injunction protecting hormone therapy and social accommodations.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

He resigned because a report he requested found extremely credible evidence that he harassed about a dozen women. He stepped down in disgrace because he would have been impeached. He's corrupt and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near City Hall. Don't rank Cuomo.

In this moderately tense exchange lies the end of the American Constitution. Here, a chief officer of the executive branch tells a member of the body that has exclusive constitutional authority to allocate the American people's money that the executive branch has no intention to follow those laws.

Child care in WA can cost a single parent nearly half of their monthly income. We need to make child care more accessible & affordable for families. Programs like the expanded Child Tax Credit would help parents make ends meet & give our kids a brighter future. mynorthwest.com/local/washin...

Republicans snuck an AI regulation BAN into the “Big Beautiful Bill.” That means companies like Real Page can use AI to get around price fixing laws and RAISE YOUR RENT. BUT this policy violates the Senate's budget rules. I'm calling foul — and fighting back to reject it.

"The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional." I've seen enough. We can confidently declare the Trump administration to be the biggest collection of assholes in American history.

Why, 1 week before the start of Pride, did Seattle permit a homophobic & transphobic hate rally in Cal Anderson park - named after first openly gay #WALeg member? And why did Mayor Harrell respond to this out-of-town hate group by blaming LGBTQ protestors for the violence cops inflicted on them?

You remember James Frey as the confabulator who faked a memoir and got humiliated by Oprah for it; I remember him as the book packager who egregiously exploited young writers with an outrageously bad ghost writing contract. He's always been fucking terrible. whatever.scalzi.com/2010/11/13/t...

Gentle reminder to anyone who needs it today: The more you use technology to replace the things you used to do for for yourself, the less you will be able to do them. That goes for writing, walking, thinking, communicating, making things, and all the things humans used to be pretty good at.

Trump is required by LAW to get $220 million for childhood literacy programs out the door to benefit students. Secretary McMahon couldn't even provide a basic timeline to do so. Trump's illegally impounding YOUR taxpayer dollars—meant to help kids learn to read—to cut taxes for billionaires.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Right now as I type, right in the middle of the evening commute hours, we have tornado warnings popping up in the vicinity, & local TV is simulcasting real-time weather coverage on local NPR station. Not that that's important to the safety of people who are out driving in it right now or anything.
