Democrats should not (must not) take Musk's money, but I want to point out how chilling it is for the president of the United States to be promising "very serious consequences" to someone if they donate to the opposition party. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

“We ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," Springsteen said. I hope it inspires other artists to use their voices in this urgent time. www.americaamerica.news/p/must-artis...

A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S. The office is one of several left without an overnight forecaster as a result of cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Heart warming story of the day. 300 people in Michigan formed a human chain to help the town bookshop move location to a new store a block away. They passed each book down the chain & even shelved them in alphabetical order. There’s still hope for the human race ❤️ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

😳😔 So sad. East to prevent, vaccinate.

This is so completely detached from real science. He is in a paralell universe 😳 www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-re...

More than 1,200 demonstrations were held across the country on Saturday against the policies and actions of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. See images from some of the protests in California, Florida, Washington, D.C., and more.

Everybody keeping up with this? Ireland just joined Finland, Denmark, the UK, and Germany in issuing warnings to its citizens about travel to the United States. Travel warnings from additional European nations are anticipated in the days ahead. www.newsweek.com/ireland-issu...

🚨 NIH sent out another data call, this time for projects "related to any form of censorship at all or directing people to believe one idea over another related to health outcomes… e,g., any contracts to promote COVID vaccine uptake," I'm told. These data calls have recently preceded terminations.

Like Richard Baldwin in an interview in Swedish press: All this uncertainty and chaos leads to people waiting. Households and businesses in the U.S. hesitate to make major investments and purchases. And all it takes to create a recession is 100 million people waiting.

Ending vaccine funds is just so incompetent and inhumane.

“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social share the group chat in which officials planned strikes on Yemen: theatln.tc/UHOLqA9E

This is the wildest story I have literally ever read. In any normal circumstances, a half-dozen senior officials would be forced to resign over this—starting with the National Security Advisor. And I doubt anyone will face any accountability at all.

This action from US administration is totaly unbelievable😳 www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This breakthrough study shows the antiviral drug obeldesivir administered once daily orally was effective against a lethal challenge of Ebola in non human primates. This is an NIH funded study, the likes of which are being cut by the current administration. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Imagine believing your child was “killed” just because they don’t identify with the sex they were born with. A real father would love their child unconditionally.

Tesla has recalled... every single Cybertruck. Every one they've ever sold. For a hardware issue www.carscoops.com/2025/03/tesl...

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./ Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

People who claim Zelensky was at fault yesterday and should have been more “diplomatic” or “respectful” are either deliberately propagating the Trumpist attack line – or they fundamentally misunderstand what the Trumpist project is and who is now in power in the United States.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

American science and medicine has been thrown into chaos and uncertainty over the past week. Here are some stories to get up to speed. 1/12

I know it often feels as if scientific evidence doesn't matter any more, but a global survey of 72K people in 68 countries shows most of us trust science, and 79% of NZers want scientists to tell us about their research; by Laura Kranz & @scicomguy.bsky.social theconversation.com/despite-fear...

Fox goes to Greenland and learns they’re just not that into us: “Most of the people we spoke with did not support Trump’s comments and found them offensive.”

New Year’s soup. Like every year.

What a year! Bluesky opened its doors just last February. Since then, we opened federation, launched video, rolled out trending topics, and a whole lot more. Happy New Year, and here’s to a great year ahead! 🎉

Some days, puppy videos are just what life needs.

Disposable vapes will soon be outlawed in Belgium — and the country is calling on the European Commission to follow suit.

Merry Christmas. Wishing you all a lovely holiday.

Since 1983, we’ve developed new vaccines for more diseases. Since then, we also developed: Antiretroviral therapy Statins First cancer immunotherapy Laparoscopic surgery tools Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) & more. 1/

I don’t know if we in the US are particularly predisposed to conspiracy thinking, but I do think that a lot of people in this country want to believe that they are special. Because the only way to be treated as a human being with rights in this country is to prove that you are special.

A new study has found that nearly three-quarters of American adults are now obese or overweight. There’s growing concern — among politicians, scientists and consumers — about one potential culprit: ultraprocessed foods. Listen to "The Daily."
