Canada is dealing with a massive measles outbreak @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social shares lessons from the Texas outbreak that can help us www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

When Trump and DOGE take a chainsaw to the IRS, remember that this is who they're really helping. https://itep.org/what-corporations-have-to-gain-from-the-gutting-of-the-irs/

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.

I've been saving all of my Obama memes for this 🤣

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

Early voting is underway in South Texas to see if Elon Musk’s Starbase will become a new city. 4/24/25 www.mysanantonio.com/news/south-t... (Meanwhile, most voters have never heard of Balaji Srinivasan and the Tech Bro “network state” movement.)

This seems to reflect a wider (and woefully misguided) shift in US health research strategy, away from well-designed studies and careful research questions, towards an attitude that we can get all the answers by just scraping various routine datasets and chucking some rushed analysis at them.

So, that new give Putin all he wants "peace" plan Rubio floated this week? It appears to be illegal under a 2022 American law Rubio himself helped pass. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

They’re not leaders. They’re billionaires playing dress-up. They crash economies, gut Social Security, and rig the courts—then vanish behind security gates and fake nonprofits. We don’t forget. We don’t forgive. We organize. #MomSky

From @reuters.com: Three more federal prosecutors who worked on the now-torpedoed corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams have quit "after they said the Justice Department wrongfully pressured them to admit to wrongdoing." www.reuters.com/world/us/thr...

Trump’s IRS Pick Had People Pay Off His Personal Debt Billy Long received a lot of money after Trump picked him to lead the Internal Revenue Service. Billy Long, just had a six-figure debt paid off by campaign donors, all of whom happen to have tax issues with the IRS newrepublic.com/post/194087/...

DOGE is shaping up to be the biggest failure of all time. All pain. No gain. Shrouded in secrecy, lies, and false projections. A scam on the American people.

We will triumph! Stand up! Trump’s playbook is Viktor Orbán’s open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Did we really ship $350 Billion to Ukraine without any oversight?! Of course not. And it isn’t anywhere near that number. Here’s the truth: youtu.be/ZROD0LjN3HU?...

The real question is....when will we hold him accountable???

And here we are! Total insanity😤

US hairdressers and aestheticians report clients are opting for less expensive services and canceling appointments—worrying signs that US consumers are retrenching

The Republican budget: ✅ Blows up the national debt ✅ Gives $7 trillion in giveaways to billionaires and big corporations ✅ Biggest Medicaid cuts in US history Don't believe Republicans when they say they care about working people. When it counts, they'll always betray them.

Remember when Republicans swore they wouldn’t cut Medicaid? Today they’re voting to cut Medicaid. Millions of Americans will suffer, many will die to give the wealthiest a tax cut. CALL THESE VULNERABLE REPUBLICANS. Tell them you’ll fire them if they cut Medicaid. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

72M Americans rely on Medicaid. 41% of US births are paid for by Medicaid. Medicaid is nursing home care primary payer, affecting patients & their adult children. Estimated 36M could lose healthcare coverage as a result of the Republican bill. Protest! app.sosha.ai/s/A4lkUssC

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

It was a stunning evening❤️

Trump is planning an expensive military parade to celebrate his birthday at a cost to taxpayers of up to $92 million THIS after his tariffs WIPED OUT 30% of your stock market portfolio. Trump STILL hasn't reduced the cost of groceries, gas at the pump, or cars www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

In unity, there’s strength to confront Trump. In disunity, cowardice open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

NBC News: A federal judge just issued a final judgement and permanent injunction against the Trump admin — ruling that the National Institutes of Health must continue funding research grants at their original, full amounts.  @msnbc.com

I hope top law students take note of who signed and who didn’t. And choose accordingly. Maybe the current AmLaw 20 didn’t sign but maybe they won’t hold those spots forever.
