We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

This is what I try to live up to, every day of my life

Our governor is not playing.

“They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.”

Amazon & Bezos bending the knee to trump has pissed me off, but this is an excellent decision.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

Featured story: “Up until now, the state of Texas—like most other banned states—has made it very clear they are not interested in providing clarity for providers and patients. And Texas doctors face some of the most draconian penalties in the country.”

someone has likely pointed this put but auschwitz wasn't in germany either

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

The first reporter that stands up and asks him "What the actual fuck are you talking about?", automatically gets a Pulitzer prize.
