This will increase the probability for airplane accidents!

Oh My👹 even the press is succumbing to the mobsters- “The Washington Post scrapped an upcoming print ad from a pair of advocacy groups calling for the firing of Elon Musk as head of the Department of Government and Efficiency.”

🚨🚨🚨 This is wildly infuriating. There are scores of doctors, scientists and institutions solely focused on the safety, efficacy, and protocols of medications. The suggestion that a man without degrees or experience in medicine, healthcare or science knows better than these specialists is MADNESS.

Over the weekend, The Trump administration was busy axing hundreds of employees at the CDC, including fellows responsible for critical public health roles. Among those fired were approximately two dozen workers who made up the Laboratory Leadership Service, or LLS, an elite group in an…

Let’s make these Republican senators regret every vote, every betrayal, and every second they choose Musk and Trump over us. Let’s make them answer for every provision of Project 2025 that comes to pass. And come November of next year, let’s replace them: secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...

Listen to Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of Strongmen Mussolini to the Present WHERE ARE WE GOING?

Excellent description of today’s MAGA-Republican Party. They’re not capable of empathy or compassion. It’s all about the cruelty with them. They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people. It’s shameful and it needs to end.

There are mayors (AdamsNY) and there are mayors! Michelle Wu, mayor of Boston. A Great Sunday morning listen youtu.be/omxAby8anJ0

“Emil Bove put all the Public Integrity Section attorneys in a room, told them they had an hour to figure out who would file his idiotic and politically weaponized motion, and said that if they didn’t identify someone to file it, he would fire them all.”

Yes, this is a coup. Why won’t anyone say it?

This is a dangerous (and deeply embarrassing) moment for our country. Republicans just put a conspiracy theorist in charge of one of the most important federal agencies for safeguarding public health and guiding the nation through health crises.

McConnell finally found his spine this week. TOO LATE. AS RFK Jr. confirmed, elevating anti-vaccine activist to nation’s top health post

Desperately needed test -

A Constitutional crisis! “Professor Chemerinsky said, and it grows by the day. “Systematic unconstitutional and illegal acts create a constitutional crisis,” he said.”

How to get 146% return on investment? The NIH. That's just the economic benefit. Biomedical research promotes human health.

“Research administrators, scientists, and academic clinicians expressed shock after the NIH announced the policy change, with many fearing that the loss of revenue could quickly lead to layoffs, halted or cancelled studies and clinical trials, and even the collapse of biomedical discovery.”

“Barely three weeks in, and a single, solid order from a highly respected federal judge, and they already are hinting at ignoring judicial orders, the ultimate constitutional crisis. Trump and Vance as Thelma and Louise speeding up and driving car over the cliff.” - Harry Litman

Sad day are upon us. Don’t look away

Read the book OR Just watch the realtime movie now playing everywhere in America Yes, it’s happening here NOW!

In the new book about attention, “The Sirens’ Call,” MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes argued that Trump’s psychological needs are “so bottomless” that “he’ll take attention in whatever form he can get. He’ll take condemnation, rebuke, disgust, as long as you’re thinking about him.”
