You are the Health Secretary! The FDA exists so that people do not, in fact, have to do their own research!

Oh, so he "turned" to falsehoods, did he? And when, pray tell, did this magical shift happen?

Imagine spending the last day of your life with JD Vance

New, from me: Marco Rubio used to boast that he was banned from China, calling it a totalitarian state. Now he combines a) new surveillance capabilities to monitor and punish international students, with b) little accountability or due process. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

Come on Columbia

Now we're in the age of AI slop, we need to retire the word 'feed' (as in 'social media feed'). I propose 'trough' as a alternative (as in 'pig tough', for dispensing food easily and simultaneously for multiple animals). 'Social media trough' is where we're heading.

As another Trump-induced market crisis unfolds from tariffs, it's time we ask "What's the Matter with Billionaires?" I've run the numbers. Billionaires do better under Dems. So why do billionaires keep supporting GOP policies against their economic interests? See my latest piece on why. (TLDR 🧵⬇️)

It’s only the wind They say it’s getting worse The trouble that it brings haunts us like a curse My nerves are all jangled but I’m pulling through I hope I can handle what I have to do When life is calmer I have no doubt No angry drama A storm blows itself out A storm blows itself out I’m sorry.
