Younger American physicians don’t have to stay in a country where the medical system is designed to strip-mine their souls for profit. The price of staying is clear: participation in a morally bankrupt, predatory business model that Americans call “healthcare.”

"It’s a familiar Silicon Valley mindset, the reason startups are forever reinventing a bus, or a bodega, or mail. It’s the implacable certainty that if you’re smart at one thing you must be smart at all of the things." www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

If #Trump and #Musk get away with all the bullshit they’re pulling, #America won’t be worth living in. They’re destroying our country from the inside-out— so #Putin’s army can march in and #TakeUsOver💣 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘 en.as.com/meristation/...

yea we did 😎

The Trump administration is giving federal agencies until mid-April to suggest relocations of bureaus and offices out of the D.C. region, a move that would have widespread impacts on the local economy.

A 102-year-old man is suing the French state for compensation over his deportation to Nazi Germany as a forced labourer during the Second World War

DOGE's new AI, built to scan federal workers' emails to see if they get to keep their jobs, is the latest in a number of AI schemes from Musk. We might scoff at how dumb these ideas are, but the truth is, they're not even supposed to work. They're built to eliminate accountability.

Can’t say I’m surprised

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Feds, take care of yourself. If you have any feelings of harming yourself, please call or text 988. Or call 1 800 273 8255! This Fed loves you guys and wants you to be here. Be kind to yourself, #altgov

This is incredible. Trump is going to push this judge and this judge MUST hold Trump accountable! www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus... @joycevance.bsky.social @markelias.bsky.social

SCOOP: Elon's favorite anon data expert, who's been appearing on NewsNation in sunglasses, isn't a govt. spending expert but rather a senior employee at an AI lending firm that's battled the CFPB for years. Me at @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I’ve been dealing with other things and taking a break from screen time and pop online to this! It has a screenshot of my top 5 (hint #3 is my favorite). I am proud to be part of this group. #Resist #AltGov www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

He wants to trash Five Eyes? Get some popcorn.

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

It’s hard to fathom how devastating this will be… At 6:00 pm, the House votes on a budget that guts Medicaid —ripping healthcare from low-income families, sick kids & seniors—all to fund tax cuts for the rich. Children will lose life-saving care so billionaires can hoard more.

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

So gross! Trump’s literally selling U.S. citizenship to the highest bidder—$5 million for a “gold card.” His words: “We’re going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million… it’s going to be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.”

DISGUSTING. Elon’s “savings” come off the backs of service-connected disabled Veteran small business owners—89% of his cuts come from canceling their contracts. Stealing from those who sacrificed for this country? It doesn’t get lower than this. MORE: www.washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...

Oh, sure—now that a measles outbreak is surging in Texas and a child has died, folks are rushing to get vaccinated. But if they’d gotten vaccinated in the first place, there wouldn’t have been an outbreak at all!

Wow! This dude is clueless… Republican Rep. Mark Alford tries to calm his constituents down—who just lost their federal jobs—by telling them God has a plan and he’s confident they’ll find new work and be able to provide for their families.

Duckworth: "Donald Trump has fired more veterans than any other president in our recent history. This has to stop, because these are hard-working people."

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Cutting programs that save money and help people.

Agree.

BREAKING: United Farm Workers and Bakersfield residents sue border patrol for unlawful practices. CBP’s January immigration raids terrorized communities and tore apart families. More at ufw.org/united-farm-...

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

This is evil. Pure evil.

Congratulations to Dr. Peter Hotez. I've had conversations with Hotez. Not only is he a brilliant man, but also a very kind human being. houston.innovationmap.com/peter-hotez-...

Ok let’s just manage our hysteria a bit. This is a 90-day stop-work order not an outright cancellation. That’s not good! It’s still scary. Anything can happen during those 90 days. But it’s not dead yet.

Gonna be awesome next winter with all the mass unemployment and then everyone gets the flu because Kennedy borked the shots.

Elon Musk on Wednesday acknowledged that the U.S. DOGE Service “accidentally canceled” efforts by the USAID to prevent the spread of Ebola — but Musk insisted that the initiative was quickly restored USAID officials said that Musk was wrong: USAID’s Ebola prevention efforts have been largely halted

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

"A woman is like a child": MAGA quickly turns its sights on stripping Republican women of power

What tangible value will cryptocurrency have on a post-apocalyptic Earth with little/no electricity? “Large [corps.] are shopping for underground bunkers that can survive a nuclear blast to protect their data centers and C-suite employees …. The first adopters are primarily cryptocurrency firms ….”

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Actually…measles outbreaks are HIGHLY unusual 😡 MOST CLINICIANS HAVE NEVER SEEN MEASLES Do not fall for normalization of preventable disease #vaccineswork #MedSky #PedsSky www.bbc.com/news/live/c1...

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

An internal HUD email reviewed by TPM said that DOGE was moving to cancel “all awards” for eight contractors after a “DOGE review of their websites and LinkedIn profiles.” talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doge-ci...

The measles outbreak in Texas continues to grow & they’re attempting to enact a mask ban. N95s offer excellent protection against airborne diseases like measles & covid. They should never be criminalized. Medical exemptions aren’t the answer. They leave too many people behind & are discriminatory

Apparently Marjorie Taylor Greene said that government employees don't produce anything so they do not deserve to be paid, and I thought that was a really roundabout way for her to ask to be fired.
