I painted this in the early days of the Iraq War, when the Bush administration was trying to hide the images of American Service Members coming home from the Middle East in coffins. This Memorial Day let us remember and honor those who gave all. #memorialday

Kennedy's PESTICIDE report is freaking out Republican Senators in every state with lots of farmers. Hilarious, the same MAGA Senators who voted to confirm this nut job are now sweating bullets b/c the report connects Corn, Soybean etc. pesticides to childhood illnesses. KARMA .

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

On one hand targeting lawmakers in this way is terrifying. On the other hand, the fact that Alina Habba had to drop her first set of charges because they were too flimsy, and trade them for even flimsier ones, is encouragingly inept.

There are downsides to the US being the worlds policeman. But in a case like this the US wld normally be convening other powers to help deescalate the situation btw India and Pakistan. Is anyone in Washington even paying attention? Vance I think just said the US doesn’t care.

NEW from me. My latest piece in The Atlantic does a deep budget dive to determine how much money DOGE is truly saving. Remember that Elon Musk initially promised $2 trillion, then $1 trillion, and now $150 billion. It has been closer to a few billion per month.🧵 www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I'm fairly confident Trump could have consolidated a sizable zoomer bloc if he had just let Bidenomics ride. instead he's doing with tariffs what 2008 did to millennials www.gelliottmorris.com/p/chart-of-t...
