US FDA suspends food safety quality checks after staff cuts reut.rs/42C4h1Z

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports.

He expects oblivious hardcore trumpsuckers to believe him.

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Our DOGE tracker is updated with a whole slew of new names, and now you can filter by agency to see which of the DOGErs have been where. Great work by @williamturton.bsky.social, @chrisbing.bsky.social, @kirstenberg.bsky.social and others! projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

Trump’s attack on the American mind — on education, science, libraries, and museums — is an attack on the capacity of Americans for self-government. Democracy depends on people knowing what’s occurring around them and having the capacity to deliberate critically about it.

Don't be a slave to #TrumpsTariffs.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Fascism doesn't arrive waving a flag. It shows up when we're too tired, too distracted, and too flooded to fight back. A 🧵 about the climate crisis and the authoritarian creep:

And then there’s this, right here…👇 Mad yet?! 🌈✨

NEW: RFK Jr.'s buddies are claiming that the measles outbreak is the result of a bioweapon attack—and that you can protect yourself by spending hundreds of dollars on purportedly AI-powered supplements. This is by @davidgilbert.bsky.social

It's left to the public to note hypocrisy: who, what, when, where, and how. It's easy with this regime.

1/ Disease forecasts are like weather forecasts: We can't predict the finer details of a particular outbreak or a particular storm, but we can often identify when these threats are emerging & prepare accordingly. Short punchy article with no pay wall.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

The agony in the garden is pretty convincing. #TCMParty

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’ While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.

The devil’s fuzztone sounds like it’s starved for voltage. #TCMParty

I heard AOC’s full speech in Montana today. She is very good at this. #Maddow

Loved that handoff. #Maddow

Is Moses Mike Johnson okay with this too?

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

I'm here to testify that Bernie and AOC's #FightOligarchy tour is a rousing success in Montana too. #mtpol #mtnews

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

Fear and trembling grips the nation.

EERIE TALES (1919) is a horror anthology with an irresistible hook: three paintings in a bookstore (the archetypes Death, the Harlot and the Devil) come to life and spend the night reading scary and twisted tales of death, disease and murder to one another.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
