One thing I hear right wingers say over there is "we never complain like this when the left is in power, why are you such crybabies" and like dude, of course you don't, because left and center policy tries to help everyone, not just the right.

Thank you for making the MeidasTouch Podcast the number 1 news podcast in the United States and the number 2 overall podcast! Corporate media wants to pretend the pro-democracy movement is dead. Well, they are dead wrong.

The White House has said that any of Elon Musk's conflicts of interest regarding his work with DOGE will be monitored and addressed by....Elon Musk. He's determining which government contracts are "fraud" while he himself has billions in government contracts. Hello?

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class. How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally? Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

Darby makes this point but I just want to reinforce it: These words are entirely legitimate to discuss science, accurately and correctly. This attack on "DEI" (🙄) is not only an attempt to resegregate science but also an attack on expertise, itself. Resisting it is a defense of science

Yesterday, RFK Jr said we need to more 'value based care' and more privatized insurance. The Health Services/HMO industry poured $107,582,738 into Trump’s campaign coffers, so of course his HHS pick thinks more privatized insurance is a good thing (it's not).

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to point out the top levels of the federal government aren't functional—the three key leaders here are drunk rapist TV show host at DoD, reality TV star at DoT, and nobody at FAA—and they're doing squat except spreading the same dysfunction down the ladder.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day." When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

You know what makes me the most sad? During the Civil War, we praised the Underground Railroad. During World War II, we praised The Resistance and the Partisans who hid Jews. Now a large chunk of America wants to turn in those who hide oppressed people. We’re going backwards.
