This is insane. Eric Adams is on Fox and Friends as Homan’s pet dog, and Holman is openly discussing “the agreement we came to,” and NO DEM ANYWHERE IS SAYING ANYTHING

In a reckless move that could put countless Americans at risk, CDC cuts are expected to devastate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health EIS officers tasked with investigating disease outbreaks and health threats in the U.S. and abroad.

Uh oh. Red states are starting to feel the pain. Trump’s massive federal cuts are leaving communities high and dry. Cue the part where Republicans start to give a damn. Trump did that 👇

It's very peculiar that trump says he wants to root out corruption, but his Department of Justice is determined to get the corruption charges against corrupt Mayor Eric Adams dropped, so he can corruptly pursue a quid pro quo wit Adams. The whole deal is corrupt AF.

To think it was only seven months ago that the imbecilic J.D. Vance was peddling the line that Britain is the “first islamist country with nuclear weapons”.

Vance was right on just one thing: Europe lacks a clear positive vision of what it wants to defend. The answer must be "the things Vance rejects": truth, science, liberal democracy, rule of law, resisting dictators, climate action. It will have to do that without, & sometimes against, the US Govt.

OPINION: The World Trade Organization had barely made it through US President Donald Trump’s first term unscathed. It's time to reevaluate an institution that is no longer fit for purpose.

A foreign service employee tells me their team can no longer access Politico, NYT or Bloomberg -- even though they have paid subscriptions to all of them. "It is critical to our jobs" to have this access, says this employee.

Tiny plastic particles may accumulate at higher levels in the human brain than in the kidney and liver, with greater concentrations detected in postmortem samples from 2024 than in those from 2016, suggests a paper in Nature Medicine. https://go.nature.com/414lf9S #Medsky 🧪

Good news. Fortunately, it is approved by a federal dept. RFK Jr. doesn't oversee (USDA). Call me pessimistic, but how long until this gets attacked with the usual antivax talking points by people with sig. platforms? "Toxins," human health impacts, etc., etc. 🙄🛟🧪😷 idsky medsky

M'learned colleague from Aberdeen here gets it exactly right: the bleak, dark mood of panic on university campuses emanates at root the fact they've lost all sense of their purpose. For me they've lost their moral bearings, but other colleagues may differ.

@lbc.co.uk your guest claimed that 1 in 12 Londoners are an illegal immigrant. That is utter nonsense. It was a stat published in the telegraph which they have had to print an apology for. If your guests have to be dishonest to try to make a point, is it any wonder many disagree with them?
