I knew he would do this. I wrote a whole article about how he would do this. I am not surprised he’s undermining vaccination. I know he’s an anti-vaxxer & a predatory crank. And yet…you have got to be fucking kidding me. He’s promoting infant mortality.

For some perspective: in the 2008 recession, GDP fell 4.3 percent from peak in 2007Q4 to trough in 2009Q2 (~18mo). This is looking like a 1.8% (yes, SAAR) decline in a quarter

Trump cracking down on border security was never about Americans dying from overdoses of trafficked fentanyl like he claimed. If it was, he wouldn't be banning the one thing that is proven to save lives.

Everyone should notice that they are VERY deliberately deporting precisely the people who are attempting to work legally within the system. The whole line about how "I'm just against illegal immigration" is bullshit. It always was.

The Lancet joins calls for Robert F. Kennedy's resignation as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Why? Because he's an utterly incompetent, eugenicist moron who is on track to do more to harm US health and global public health than any single individual in history.

I think in hindsight it's going to be the arrest of Hannah Dugan that was the tipping point for the legal community, not the executive orders, even though those should have been enough.

A) Democrats should be doing blanket opposition at this point. B) David Perdue has declared China is waging a new kind of war against the US and could be easily opposed for this specific position C) David Perdue is a NOTORIOUS insider trader who could have been easily opposed on corruption grounds

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

Wow, finally we get some answer as to what happened! They really did just run all names through law enforcement databases and terminate SEVIS status for anyone with a match, no matter the circumstances or magnitude of the "offense" (including things like speeding tickets and even dropped charges).

My extended family is MAGA, they all vote fairly regularly. Most don’t ever watch or read political media. Some of their views: - We should nuke the whole Middle East - Global warming is volcanos & also fake - Trump makes all the laws - Biden was replaced by a double - Dems created COVID

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

I think it’s dumb that Bezos apparently backed down on the tariff display on Amazon, and everyone should add tariff breakdowns to their prices, but at the end of the day I don’t think it’s going to matter all that much what’s happening is far too big to avoid a backlash

a parallel that probably a lot of other people got to before me: it is very bad for Jews when people who do not claim to be Jews start deciding who is not a Jew. it is very bad for women when people who do not claim to be women start deciding who is not a woman.
