Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

It’s depressing to realize we are all pawns in this sick game

“Elon Musk slammed President Trump’s top trade adviser as “dumber than a sack of bricks” on Tuesday” NYT

Somewhere along the oh so tortuous road this nepo trust fund POS took, his 🪱 got a degree to practice dentistry or to even make recommendations about proper dental care and prevention???

“Anybody who has dealt with a schoolyard bully should recognize this principle: The illusion of invincibility is often his greatest asset.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/o...

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

JUST IN: Federal health agencies have to slash their spending by more than a third, on top of the 10,000-person staffing cuts.

Says the guy who spent millions to elect a judge that will soon be the deciding vote on a case involving Tesla’s ability to sell cars in the state.

“This will go down as one of the darkest days in modern scientific history” 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

The agency “as we’ve known it is finished, with most of the leaders with institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of product development and safety no longer employed.” — former FDA commissioner Rob Califf www.statnews.com/2025/04/01/h... via @statnews.com

Even in 2025, some things still shock. Like the apparent selection of a long-time vaccine opponent who was disciplined & fined for practicing medicine without a license to conduct a new HHS study into whether there's a link between vaccines and autism. www.statnews.com/2025/03/26/r...

"....in my final weeks at the CDC, I watched as career infectious-disease experts were tasked with spending precious hours searching medical literature in vain for data to support Kennedy’s preferred treatments."

Hearing multiple reports now that Trump/Musk people are sitting in senior NIH leadership meetings quietly watching and taking notes. Like Soviet communist political officers (apparatchiks), there to enforce the authoritarian political agenda.

Republicans want to cut Social Security while Elon Musk gets $8 million every day from government contracts.

It’s incredibly hard to see a national treasure like the NIH descend into the atrocious servitude of stripping out an image of one of their most successful Institute Directors in an effort to please the thinnest skinned President of all time.

Irony of Department of Education's 150 + year old stats agency being demolished is that this was the very issue that led to the OG ED being blown up in 1867. Confederate states hated the idea of feds monitoring the literacy rates of former slaves. Here we are again... thebaffler.com/latest/cruel...

It would all be very unpopular if you could convince people it was happening

Just started to watch #Trump's #StateOfTheUnion address The #NIH program, cut by #Trump and #DOGE, is NOT for #Transgender mice; it's transgenic mice. Transgenic mice are genetically modified mice used to test effectiveness of drugs on diseases! No one pointed it out! An entire room of morons.

There is a certain irony in the fact that NIH nominee Jay Bhattacharya is a PI on two NIH funded projects that would seemingly run afoul of the administration’s DEI Purge. One aims to merge longitudinal Mexican Health and Aging data with data on the effects of climate change...

Bill banning mRNA vaccines in Iowa passes subcommittee

Tanking a 10+ year gaining economy in only 6 weeks has to be a record for any President

We found the real fraud.

Trump Orders Permanent Govt Shutdown – No, Really … talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

DOGE and DOGE-controlled OPM have been consistently saying they are not responsible for cuts or firings - these are agency decisions, and they are just advising. But as soon as agency officials push back, they are pushed out of the way.
