Trump/Musk and the entire GOP has spent the last four months systematically liquidating disease cure research in the United States. Lots of critical cure studies shuttered mid-way through. Research shutdown everywhere. It's all hands on deck to prevent new treatments for cancer, ahlzeimers etc.

Dick Butkus's chances of canonization has improved

#bucciovertimechallenge: Tom Wilson (yay!); Sebastian Aho (boo!)

#bucciovertimechallenge: Connor (Jets); Walker (Blues)

There's been a "shift in priorities." Those involved with "Tapestry of Pride, which had been planned for June 5-8, told The AP that their events had been quietly canceled or moved to other venues...Washington’s Capital Pride Alliance has disassociated itself from the Kennedy Center." is.gd/7ixuXb

There’s only 2 things which *might* save us: 1. Their incompetence is canceling out much of their malevolence. 2. They’re going after everything & everyone everywhere all at once.

I thought this sort of inquiry was illegal outside of census collection. Is the Trump Admin so hellish they revived Fred Malek and his Jew counting scheme!?

The Caps are officially on...Logan's Run! #wakawaka #ALLCAPS

The Trump admin is demanding universities institute anti-mask laws for student protesters, holding the schools’ funding as a ransom, while sending secret police in balaclavas to disappear immigrants

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

It is difficult for me to convey how profoundly unsurprised I was reading this article, which is about the world's richest and most famous entrepreneur threatening to deport his employees for pointing out a potentially fatal safety issue with his car company's brakes futurism.com/tesla-engine...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump is sending a Russian scientist who created a breakthrough cancer detection microscope back to Putin's Russia. She was a dissident who criticized Putin and now will be in danger.

The refs have been awful but the Caps matched them. No shots on goal in nearly 10 min. Biggest issue IMO is that they're completely missing on their passes.

Really did not anticipate the degree to which DOGE would be turned into a mechanism to surveil and punish immigrants. The team includes the DOGEr who resigned after making racist comments.

Nancy Mace is such a pathetic individual. I'd feel sorry for her if it weren't for the tremendous harm she gleefully inflicts on vulnerable populations.

Apparently Newsom didn't think it was a distraction when he posted about calling for Andry Hernandez Romero's release from CECOT (seriously, good on him for that but this dumping on freeing Kilmar makes his actions suspect)

the President firing the two Democratic FTC officials was like a forty second news cycle

Worth noting that this passed by one vote and two Democratic congresspeople have died in office in the last six weeks.

They’re using Jews as human shields for their fascist agenda.

WTF is Kash Patel doing being with the Gretzky's and Bettman again!

Very sad to see this www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.

Vought tried and failed for many years to get Congress to vote for cuts like these. So he’s trying a new plan: Making the cuts by presidential fiat and betting Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts and the Republicans who run Congress won’t stop him.

We’re suddenly doing so many big favors for our new ally.

jesus christ they want her dead

one by one they fall. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/b...

And Jose Ferrer's first pitch of 2025 has now put the Nats down one. Auspicious start for the bullpen and a sad waste of MacKenzie Gore's pitching gem.

This has literally been Musk and Trump's positions for years. They just haven't said the literal words, so the media is reporting this as if it is a new issue as opposed to just an ongoing part of their ideology and policies.

Lucas Sims is the first member of the Nats 💩 list.

America is a tire fire but for some good news, MacKenzie Gore is having a hell of a start! 12 K's through 5 innings!

THIS IS SO FUCKED UP. Watch this!!! Don’t scroll past. Don’t look away. Having women there telling her it’s okay & comforting her while they take her away is so fucking evil. We are in a fight for our country. All of us! American citizens included.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Hey Canadians: I just heard about two Canadian friends of a friend who were driving into the US. The border agents demanded they unlock their phones; the agents searched the phones, found anti-Trump stuff on one, then confiscated that phone and neither person was allowed into the US 1/2

"With the right ascendant politically and culturally, bad-boy podcasters have run short of DEI sacred cows to skewer. Now, in an effort to keep churning out provocative content, they’re pivoting toward antisemitism." ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social's first False Flag:

Trump and Elon are closing the dept of education so they can renew their tax breaks

The Chinese government is his most important business partner.

This just doesn’t do it.

Unelected co-President continues his journey to gather enough info to wreck American soft and hard power for generations while simultaneously paralyzing govt operations and causing myriad crises for the population.

Insanity. Just a reminder that Musk was denied top level security clearance due to his drug use and undisclosed contact with foreign leaders, including Putin. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Literally, any time you or a family member are (heaven forbid) in a hospital, it is an eye-opening reminder of how essential immigrants from around the world are to contemporary America - from the top on down.

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

great irony to scrub mentions of the civil war from Arlington. it exits because gen meigs decided it was a just punishment for robert e. lee's treason to have his family estate confiscated and made into a cemetery for union dead. they started the burials right up on the mansion to make certain ...

This is so effing stupid. If Trump actually wanted a shut down, he wouldn't have browbeat the House into a Sept. CR. Utter failure and debacle of leadership.

Wired continues to be just doing such an astoundingly good job on this. Tremendous reporting. Tremendous focus. They deserve a Pulitzer.
