Can’t wait for the cartels to switch over to smuggling in mRNA Avian Flu vaccines because the US refuses to approve them.

This is horrible for the future of American science and innovation and economic wellbeing and all the things Pitt is not a small institution It has nearly 10K grad students It is where Salk discovered the polio vaccine

Gonna be the asshole to point out the most intense resistance outside of the Beltway is coming from our most offline Americans - old people who go to town halls.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Well the weekend Fox news host thinks he got the job because he was Black so that's that.

New, from me @theatlantic.com: *No, the federal government is not too big *It has real human capital needs *Firings are indiscriminate, weakening state capacity *Creating a toxic and politicized workplace is driving away dedicated employees www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Mayor:

Oh, Edolf and the Technobratz are DROOLING over Social Security.

Musk may get to be a dictator at Tesla, but last I checked there is no Elon Musk Article in the Constitution — something he doesn’t seem to realize. He wants to delegitimize the courts because the next step is to shut down his whole illegal and corrupt DOGE enterprise.

This is the first movement from Sen. Fetterman, please fill out immediately if you have been impacted. Please circulate Penn, Pitt, PSU, Temple etc @cbartman.bsky.social

I've now seen Elon's weekend harassment email to federal workers. Here's what it says. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/elon-...

For the record, the idea of the entire federal workforce flooding an OPM email inbox with their weekly task reports is insurmountable stupid.

So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

Yesterday it was university of Pittsburgh - today it’s Penn. I fear this will soon be a grimly long thread of more gratuitous Trump/Musk inflicted disabling of America for the long term www.thedp.com/article/2025...

Tell Congress: No cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. None. Zero. Zilch. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I'm sending my fourth weekly dispatch of how the US media *should* be covering the unprecedented coup by Musk's junta later this morning. Sign up here to get it straight to your inbox: www.doomsdayscenario.co

Critical CDC layoffs directed by the Trump administration strike deeply at its ability to respond to current flu, norovirus and measles outbreaks. www.upi.com/Voices/2025/...

This is exactly right. The Kennedy Center is now a poison pill and no artist who values american democracy should go anywhere near it while the tangerine shreds the constitution. There are plenty of other places for performances and your audiences will follow.

So, I guess they did hack the election? thenewsglobe.net?p=8837#googl...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This.

Even before Trump 2.0, the Social Security Administration’s staffing levels were at a 50-year low due to a decade of budget caps & cuts authored by GOP lawmakers. Further staff cuts and office closures can only make things worse for America's most vulnerable. New, @propublica.org

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Did Musk’s or Bannon’s Hitlergrüẞ better reflect our traditions? Whose Sieg Heil did more to Make America Great Again? Ross Douthat and Josh Barro drop by to discuss.

Gee, why isn't DOGE flagging this as wasteful spending? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yes, thank you, #GoodGuardian. Culture wars: Trump’s takeover of arts is straight from the dictator playbook www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...
