Moody’s downgraded the U.S.’s credit rating for the first time in history because the Republicans can’t get their fiscal house in order and Trump is playing whack-a-tariff with our biggest trading partners. Are we great yet, America?

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Folks, if you’ve hesitated to join a union, now is the time. We’re only stronger as a collective, and we only have one another in the face of these unprecedented cuts. Universities are not corporations or institutions or buildings: they are people. And this summer is the fight of our lives.

Canada, meet your new Cabinet. This is a team that is empowered and expected to lead. Together, we will create a new economic and security relationship with the United States and build a stronger economy — the strongest economy in the G7.

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

The Labour gov have allowed wood burning stoves to be permitted in new homes as a secondary heating source in the Future Homes and Buildings Standards. As an air quality scientist, this is appalling news. Smoke from stoves is a growing health hazard. But why did the UK gov make this decision? 🧵

Very important to make Musk synonymous with global mass death. That's his legacy, even more than the damage he wrought in the US.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

We’ve stopped using ours after installing air to air heat pump. It’s healthier, cleaner and cheaper than burning wood 👌

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

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

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Zipping around on his golf cart, Trump was quick to skip the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. Trump elected instead to go golfing and dine with the Saudis. More than 24 hours after the soldiers first went missing, Trump casually…
