This is absolute nonsense. But since we’re on the subject, mRNA vaccines are actually incredible, allow personalization to an individuals tumor & have shown promise in difficult to treat cancers like pancreatic cancer, melanoma & glioblastoma. Science is amazing when you actually understand it.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

My column from Monday. In their endless quest to hurt transgender Alabamians, Gov. Kay Ivey and the Alabama Legislature have given local governments and schools sweeping powers to separate men and women in the name of “safety” and “fairness.” That’s certain to hurt Alabama women.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Tomorrow Germany will vote. Will it stand by Ukraine or give power to the pro-Russian far right? Kirill, a Ukrainian in Hungary, warns voters about ‘Orbanization’ of Germany.

Remember, y'all. It's OK that democratic guardrails are being eviscerated, thousands are losing their jobs, a military purge is underway, LGBTQ+ folks are being targeted, and the integrity of food/medicine/research is being undermined. What's important is that the world's richest man isn't bored.

WI congressman Glenn Grothmann’s constituent mentions Elon Musk calling beneficiaries of federal programs ‘parasites’ and he refuses to believe it. They’re so out of touch with their constituents - no wonder Trump took over their party so easily.

A JetBlue pilot was arrested at Boston Logan Int’l Airport for second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He's not a drag queen—he’s a 33-year-old white male named Jeremy Gudorf. Where are the MAGA crowds to condemn DEI? I can't seem to hear them over their deafening silence of hypocrisy.🤔

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

My staff has received reports that because of the Trump Administration staff cuts, the National Park Service Maggie Walker Site can open only twice a week… during #BlackHistoryMonth. Today I joined Virginia Delegation members to call for the reversals of these cuts.

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

I feel so haunted by the old “haha Brooks Brothers Riot” framing. Ultra-wealthy creeps who do not go to national parks, fly commercial, buy groceries, ride the subway, get normal healthcare, need FEMA, or send their kids to public school are looting all those goods, plus all our data.

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
