Trump vs Musk was 100% predicted but still amazing to watch. There is a lot of ammo to cook off. Trump is underestimating how bad the billionaire tech lords can fuck him up now that they have ALL THE DATA. I was giving trump 50% chance of holding off the Vance installation for 4 yrs, now it’s 20%

Price spikes will be a problem for consumers, but the NYT article utterly fails to mention the clear and catastrophic consequences of relying on fossil fuels. We need to ramp down fast to stop cooking the planet. #Meidas guys could do better on this too.

The American public is being subjected to a disinformation campaign by our own government. The HHS Secretary, NIH Director, and FDA Director are knowingly and willingly passing along utterly false information about vaccines. Every Republican supports this, without exception.

This smarmy ass is killing his own constituents. And calling them lazy while he takes away their food and healthcare.

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.

Massive props to @hankgreen.bsky.social here. We (cough, cough, you know who) are undoing the slow, unsexy scientific progress that has kept more Americans from dying. Very much applies to better weather forecasting, so 8000 people don't die in hurricanes anymore (like Galveston in 1900).

Every independent analysis is clear: the budget bill passed early this morning by the House GOP will gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP for working Americans, and make the ultra-wealthy richer. We must do everything we can stop this bill in the Senate.

I appreciate the symmetry of about $4trillion in tax cuts and $4trillion added to the deficit, Dem leadership has a good label with Tax Scam. It’s just theft from our kids. The other framing is taking food and healthcare from the old and poor to give to the military and ICE. /1

Did you know that $100M in food aid is rotting in warehouses that could feed the entire population of Gaza for a month and half, but a 28-year-old at DOGE is holding it hostage? www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...

250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king. On June 14, we’re gathering again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS. Nearly 1,000 events are planned in all 50 states to show the world what democracy really looks like. Please join us on No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.
