Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

“No American can be proud of a govt that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Most Gaza residents are the descendants of Palestinian refugees driven to the enclave in a 1948 war. They harbor a deep fear of being uprooted again, and President Trump's remarks struck a raw nerve.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

Caroline Kennedy wrote a scathing letter to senators, calling her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a “predator” addicted to attention from airing dangerous views on vaccinations and someone who is unfit to be the U.S. health secretary. nyti.ms/40Oyb3o

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering. Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive. Any others you know?

I spent the morning readinga deeply reported and revealing article in ProPublica about a cancer doctor in my state’s capital who had a few superlatives to his name…longest-lived stage 4 lung cancer patient in the world, most hours billed of any doctor, most morphine prescribed in 2017.

A deeply personal piece by my wife Ayesha and I about the hell insurance companies have put us through to get the life saving care our daughter needs to live. We're sharing because her story is sadly all too common. I have a platform & I intend to use it: www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-insur...

An incredible story. And sadly, an example of what will be more to come with quacks like RFK Jr and Dr OZ in charge of our health.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

I’m reading “The Winter Horses” by Phillip Kerr… I’ve been just watching series and thinking, enjoying the birds, flowers and geckos. As much as I loved “Shogun” I think “Resident Alien” was so much fun
