Most of Trump's tariffs were just ruled illegal (because they were based on nonsense). This is the second best possible off-ramp for the U.S. economy. The best would be if Congress were to take back the power the Constitution gave it. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

When Trump is obviously trying to bullshit his way out of a subject he’s clueless on I don’t know if it’s more upsetting that the reporter doesn’t call him on it or that so many viewers don’t see anything wrong with his answer.

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"? It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them. Follow the money.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

We already know Republicans want to gut Medicaid to pay for their billionaire tax cut. Now the nonpartisan CBO says their plan would add so much to the deficit that it would force huge cuts to MEDICARE too. They've put health care on the chopping block.

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

I think many people have a vague sense that Trump is racist, but they don't fully realize just how much the up and coming Republican staffer class is marinating in actual neo-Nazi propaganda online, because the media underreports this story. And it is only going to get worse in the coming years.

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.
