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.

This feels like the defining image from this year’s Midwest Political Science Association annual meeting. The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGE’d, and there is no one left to send.

We are so grateful to our friends at Munger, Tolles & Olson for their herculean efforts getting the law firms amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie filed today. To the more than 500 law firms that signed on, thank you for defending the rule of law. www.mto.com/wp-content/u...

Didn't check his watch, didn't show up at all.

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

A former Meta PR person has come out in support of "Careless People", saying that the book IS accurate

Dass eine der letzten Dinge, die Sahra Wagenknecht als Abgeordnete des Deutschen Bundestags tut, eine Empfehlung an ihre alte Partei, mit der AfD zusammen zu arbeiten, ist, bringt diese politische Laufbahn auch irgendwie sehr auf den Punkt.

The Pebble smartwatch team shares all of the ways Apple limits non-Apple smartwatches on the iPhone. Your smartwatch can’t send texts, respond to notifications or talk to iOS apps unless it’s an Apple Watch. No one is allowed to build a device that connects to an iPhone as well as an Apple device.

Barry Lynn's statement on Trump's illegal, unconstitutional attempt to fire FTC Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter. "[H]e has chosen to put the interests of the oligarch and all-powerful corporation first, and the interests of every other American last."

It's pretty wild to see what the Tesla Takedown people have built from nothing, totally organically in just two months. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

This is disgusting. Beyond the pale. Horrifying. What happened to America.

The UN approved a resolution for an International Day of Hope. It was approved 161 to 1. The only country to vote no? America -- under orders by Donald Trump.

“We Finns know Russia. Russia shares a land border with 14 countries. Only one of them has constantly remained an independent democracy through the Second World War and the Cold War, and that's Finland” Elina Valtonen Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland

Advice from Canada

This is such an obvious and odious demonstration of the misogyny permeating the Trump regime. It's not just that Trump himself is a rapist, but that his supporters and appointees are so steeped in the manosphere.

"DSTs [digital service taxes] allow foreign governments to collect tax revenue from American companies simply because they operate in foreign markets" … because taxes should not be levied based on economic activity? 🤡

OTD in 2022 Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov stated "Russia has no plan for any aggressive actions. We will not attack, strike or invade Ukraine". So you can believe us about peace negotiations now

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

I think of the Trump administration’s barrage as a DDOS attack. They want to hit on so many fronts that the opposition can’t see it all, track it all, respond to it all. We should be resourcing the entities capable of responding to specific pieces of the attack. 1/

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

If you’ve ever complained about free speech on college campuses but aren’t upset about this, you’re not serious. Can’t even do mainstream economics while avoiding this list.
