Some context for the un-emBloomberged masses of Bluesky: today's GDPNow estimate is literally the worst number excepting COVID that has happened since the indicator existed

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

This!!!

Trump is shutting down legitimate sources of information. We are going to have to find alternative legit sources.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

This is reality!!!👇👇👇

I’ve been wondering about this, so it was good see the question asked & answered… @katiephang.bsky.social: “Pam, You described yourself as being under the spell of the MAGA-Trump cult. What did it take to break that spell?” Listen to every word of Pam Hemphill’s answer—especially part II. Part I

Friday nights are worth monitoring the governmental actions. They know most people don’t. 👇👇👇

Oh what a fine Christian. He is willing to appease his worldly master in spite of what his Heavenly Father teaches. Can’t say Republican without hypocrite

Dear Joe, I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act. So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now. ~ Everyone

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

This is the process👇

No, school shootings do not have to be a "fact of life." — Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings — More guns don't make us safer — A majority of Americans want gun reform We do not have to live like this. No other country does.

Fact checking & asking for the source & science is apparently dead on Twitter.

As Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamay discuss massive government spending cuts, Jon Stewart and @mcuban.bsky.social dig into the need to weed out waste while protecting parts of large government programs that work. #DOGE #TheWeeklyShow

Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.

According to the CBO, extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich would shrink the economy over the long run. Extending the cuts would also increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion and be used by Republicans as an excuse to gut programs millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.
