Secretary 🧠 🪱 #perfect 🤩

But please, let’s talk about Biden’s mental status. @jaketapper.bsky.social

All those old guard conservatives who incrementally moved closer and closer to MAGA are now members of a party that worships a draft dodger, hates NATO, loves Putin, started a trade war, passed record deficits, pardons criminals who beat cops, and hates the Federalist Society.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

This!

Democrats should introduce legislation to reinstate this purchase and make every Republican go on the record on it. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/h...

Now would be a good time to get an air purifier if you don't already have one, or to replace your filters if you haven't already. Fires are blazing in Canada again, and in addition to the devastation there, smoke is expected to spread in the coming days. www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/w...

The New York Times has found at least two more fake citations in the MAHA report. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

Taking food and health care away from hardworking families, people down on their luck, seniors, and little babies—so that a handful of billionaires and corporate CEOs can get richer. Billionaires win. Families lose.

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

NEW: "Remigration"—a far-right European plan to expel minorities and immigrants from Western nations—may soon have a dedicated office following a Trump administration reorganization of the State Department. And it may already be happening in the US.

Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger to CBS News about pardons of Jan 6 rioters who beat police: "I put a message out to (my officers) saying, 'We all know what you did. And I think most of the American public knows what you did and respects what you www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

US government spending since Jan. 21 “is up 8.7% over the equivalent period in 2024 .. “.. 7.2% over 2023.” 🇺🇸 @jesskarl.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

Medicaid, the largest payer for long-term care facilities, covers around 2 in 3 nursing home residents, and reducing dollars to the massive, yet already resource-limited, program could have disastrous effects on older adults’ health, safety and quality of life.

"This decision puts the lives & health of the 🇺🇸 people at risk," said Dr. Ashish Jha."

As a professor, I can confidently attest that a reliable hallmark of AI-written term papers are messed-up citations:

RFK Jr.’s War on Children @pauloffit.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi...

Are you working in civil rights enforcement for the federal government and being made to investigate racial equity programs OR are you an organization being investigated or had your federal funds stripped for racial equity work? Message me. Signal: nhannahjones.67

Exactly

So Recession. Much Stagflation. Very Least Responsible Economic Policy in 40 Years. Once again, all the things the Very Serious Economists told you nonstop on every media platform were happening under Joe Biden are actually happening now…& 🦗🦗🤷‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/mcop...

again all of this stuff is resignation-level for literally everyone involved www.notus.org/health-scien...

"International students don't just attend Ivy League schools, though-they're at state universities, community colleges, and regional campuses across America, pumping $44 billion annually into local economies & supporting 378,000 American jobs."@eliselabott.bsky.social thepreamble.com/p/first-harv...

Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate have been charged with rape, human trafficking, bodily harm, and more in the U.K.

Perfect…

As the Trump administration slashes the federal workforce, experts say cuts to the USDA, FDA and CDC have left the food supply vulnerable to outbreaks of foodborne illness.

"It's as if you took a chainsaw and started cutting holes out of the walls of a house," she says. "You can't really point to the fact that the doors or windows are still there and say, 'Don't worry, the house is secure.'"

. @sulliview.bsky.social shares how we can all "hold the ground against this creeping autocracy," including by staying informed and by supporting 1A orgs like SPLC. Her advice: margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/how-to-sta... Help us defend the rights of student journalists today: loom.ly/CY3xxrc

In other words, the free Qatari jet costs $2 billion. "The Air Force estimated then that it could cost $1.5 billion to meet those requirements. To then remove the military gear and convert it for civilian use after Trump leaves office could cost an estimated $500 million."

The Missouri Supreme Court has temporarily blocked access to abortion in the state, despite a new amendment to the State Constitution, passed by voters, that ensures such access.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov will dem senators have a spine this time? #SayNo

American Meteorological Society (@ametsoc.org) just issued a (fully justified) dire statement regarding rapidly accelerating & potentially disastrous efforts to decimate weather & climate enterprise in U.S. If implemented, this would cost many lives & cause major/ long-term economic harm.

🚨ATTENTION MOMS🚨 Friday, May 30th at 3pm Meet me outside of the CDC with your pregnant bellies, your babies, your toddlers, your strollers, your signs, and your baby gear. We are standing up for science and vaccines! @standupforscience.bsky.social RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/moms-...

Elon fired the IGs and gutted the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies including the SEC, NLRB, DoD, NHTSA, FDA, DoA and FAA. DOGE could only verify $5 billion in savings for this year, while potentially costing taxpayers $135 billion. There’s your fraud.

“The NIH monopoly on directing scientific research should be broken”. Project 2025, page 462. RFK Jr. and Bhattacharya are falling right in line with this document produced by the right-wing extremist Heritage Foundation. Academic freedom my butt.

So, don't miss this crazy story today...400 ostriches in Canada came in contact with avian flu. Canada wants to kill the ostriches. But people are stepping in to try to stop them. And those people are the people in charge of Americans' health: RFK, Jr. & Dr. Oz.

I strongly urge to read Scott Pelley's address. It speaks to the challenges of our times. Everything good about America is under attack by a Tangerine Tyrant. It is up to all of us to rally to our nation's defense. Be it attending rallies or calling your Senators repeatedly to stand against Trump
