The idea of tickling Lou Reed is too funny.

90% of US biotech companies depend on imported components for at least half of their FDA approved products. Over half think they can’t change their supply chains for at least 2 years whatever happens. #drugprices

NEW: The entire CDC #FOIA office — nearly two dozen people — received RIF notices. FOIA personnel at FDA and NIH were also dismissed. The CDC has seen a massive uptick in FOIA requests this year. It’s the second busiest year since Covid. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Senator Cory Booker has started his 18th hour of a filibuster on the Senate floor. Thank you, Cory, for standing up for our veterans and the VA! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

CNN becomes the first US media outlet to report on Putin's Murmansk speech in which he essentially said "I get Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics, Trump gets Greenland, Panama and Canada." Other US media ignores it.

Instead of fighting with them, we should be trying to emulate the sustainability, stability, quality of life, trust in government, high levels of education and healthcare coverage that Denmark has.

Dr. Peter Hotez, a distinguished expert in vaccine development and public health, issues a warning that Texas is poised to trigger a national measles outbreak, which will persistently spread until every individual becomes either infected or vaccinated. www.houstonpress.com/news/public-...

Lawyer for Mahmoud Khalil says detaining & attempts to deport legal residents for exercising free speech is nothing but unconstitutional repression. #MOMSky

I think that the cases we're starting to hear about now are the tip of the iceberg. #science #vermont theins.press/en/news/280037

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

"It’s an all-timer OPSEC failure, so inexplicably irresponsible and careless and dangerous, that for those of us who have been in these environments, it’s difficult to articulate the stratospheric degree of fuckup this happens to be." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/a-dipshits...

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

BREAKING: Chief Judge Boasberg denies the federal government's effort to vacate the TROs in the Alien Enemies Act case, finding that people the government claims are subject to the proclamation at least have a right to "individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all."

just a total sack of shit

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Wow. It's hard not to concur with the theory that something's already happened and they're preparing us.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I really want our Canadian friends to see this. We are in here screaming to be heard. Huge numbers of people in the USA are organizing and mobilizing against this. Don't give up on us. #ElbowsUp #Canada

Apparently, Trump has problems with the US position as a world leader in science, or he's totally clueless, or both. If foreign scientists start avoiding US conferences, the damage will be immense and enduring. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There are many Democrats who don’t agree with some or many of AOC’s policy ideas. But what she gets and more conventional Democrats do not is that political fight can be catalyzing and transformative. You can change the shape of the playing board in ways … www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

Not sure exactly what they taught in the UPenn economics major, but pretty sure it was not that the solution to plummeting demand is increased supply. But you do you, Elon.

It is criminal that Republicans voted to approve this nomination.

good to watch. but there's one part in here that most will probably overlook. stability, the constitution and the rule of law are magnets for capital. an elemental observation that's at the root of basically every study of economics and capitalism.

This is just so terrible and mean. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...
