RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Again, this is not only a frontal assault on higher education & scientific research, but also a massive violation of contracts, property rights, & the rule of law: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

In a tumultuous week that marked 4 months since Trump’s 2d inauguration, nothing will have as long-lasting and damaging an effect on American democracy as SCOTUS' decision to upend 90 years of its precedent and strip independent agencies of their independence. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

This is how it needs to be framed: "House Republicans voted to advance a bill that would offer lavish tax cuts for the rich while slashing benefits for the poor."

Isn't the purpose of a military base to defend, not to need to be defended? But also the logic of "our aggressive incursion will save you from aggressive incursions" is pretty War Is Peace. Also Greenland's hatred for Vance is a beautiful thing.

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

If and when Trump and JD Vance support the GOP bill, does anyone think that Vance will be asked *even once* in any media setting to square this with his previously stated views?

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

"It could cost $1 billion or more to retrofit the Qatari plane to get it ready for use as Air Force One, a process that former Air Force officials said could take longer than finishing the job Boeing is already doing." Not to mention the Emoluments Clause violation and security issues.

14 million people could lose their Medicaid coverage. 22 million people could see their health insurance skyrocket. And they're doing all of it so they can give millionaires and billionaires and their mega-corporations more tax breaks. Everyone is seeing this, right?
