President Trump just floated sanctioning Ukraine for fighting back against Russia's aggression. America deserves a leader, not a president who bows to Putin, and every lawmaker should condemn this.

If you’re going to speculate about a former POTUS, can we ask why the CURRENT guy spends so much time on the links, rarely works, displays no empathy for Biden’s health, and reposts a social media claim that Biden was executed and has been replaced by clones and machinery. Bueller? Anybody?

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

She really did say exactly that. It’s not a bad joke. Republicans: Women, gays and not white peoples go back to where we told you that you had to be in 1950. No RIGHTS for you!! You can only do what we give you permission to do, If and when we give you permission, when we feel like it.

Meanwhile back on Twitter, one of the top posts today is hating on people with brown skin for being in a National Park, and comparing it to a hypothetical time when the crowd was whiter. It's so bad over there and I don't know why anyone who isn't an overt nazi or racist still posts there.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Trump’s Deputy White House Chief of Staff is his former golf caddie, so obviously none of these people were chosen for their qualifications, competence and experience. Once you’ve established that you will tell anyone who asks that Trump shot a 67, there’s no limit to how high you can go.
