Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Banning synthetic food dyes won’t improve health—it may worsen it. FOOD DYES AREN’T THE ISSUE. 1️⃣ they’re safe at ingested levels. 2️⃣ they’re not banned in other countries. 3️⃣ they’ll be replaced with other dyes that aren’t safer, as stable, or as studied. 1/

My head: you don’t have to think about politics everyday My favorite bra site: so we’re going to stop shipping to the us while we figure out what’s up with these tariffs. And when we’re back a $50 bra will cost $200. Happy Monday!

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

Poor reporter interviewing me about financial aid next year got an earful when they asked if I think anything can be done to stop a disaster from happening. Just me ranting "this isn't the asteroid from Armageddon, this is a self-inflicted wound and we could reverse these illegal firings any day."

I have this same issue with "Swiss chocolate" tbh. When we discuss wine we talk about the growers and their location. We don't when we talk about cacao. I wonder what could be the difference between the people who grew the grapes and those who grew the cacao? 🤷🏿‍♀️

It's impossible to overestimate how damaging this would be for everything from routine weather forecasting, to modeling and tracking hurricanes, to preparing for climate change. Every American will be worse off if this happens. For decades to come. (Gift link): www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/c...

when Obama, in the midst of a deep recession, and with members of his own party demanding austerity budget cuts, cut back NASA's manned space flight program, Fox News took a break from running deficit and debt scare stories and ran days of coverage about how awful the budget cuts were

NASA is something every American can be and should be proud of. And for every dollar spent on it, it returns more on that investment to the economy. Example: Their 2023 budget was $25B, and they added over $75B to the economy that year. This is a horrible decision.

Your wallet is being cleaned out by expert pickpockets. This is criminal. Literally criminal. I call for an IMMEDIATE investigation into who knew what, when, and what they did with the info. You can bet the Admin and many here in DC are considerably richer tonight than they were this morning.

As if taking away bodily autonomy wasn’t enough, the GOP now has their sights on restricting the voting rights women, by making married women who changed their last name jump through hoops cast their ballot. Tell Congress to vote NO on the so-called SAVE Act. Hands off her vote!
