BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

It’s incredible that now the best case scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will: MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR. The measles surge in the southwest is now the SINGLE LARGEST OUTBREAK since 2000 and the United States is now at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

Important 🧵 I was astonished to have a very high measles titre. (That's what they say to get checked. I was surprised.) Don't risk measles, it's very dangerous to many. Also? If it's been 5-10 years since you got a TDaP, get one. Whooping cough is coming back, too. :(

To everyone that said Democrats like Van Hollen were making a political mistake in defending due process, you were wrong, and we shouldn’t even need a poll to tell us that.

The first question we need to ask is why Trump wants to keep Abrego García in El Salvador. A normal administration would want to retrieve someone wrongly sent to a foreign gulag. I believe part of the reason I that Trump wants a fight with the courts in which he can defy their orders.

"Autism doesn't excuse you from bad behavior" No one's saying it does. The problem is that people seem to think 95% of autistic behavior is bad even when it's not. We can't do anything without being criticized. All we're asking is that you stop vilifying us for existing. 😫

The term HIPAA violation gets thrown around a lot, but in this case a covered entity (an insurer) actually committed a HIPAA violation by sharing, "member account numbers, claim service dates and service providers, patient names" without patient consent.

Buying a pre-distressed brand new cowboy hat marks you as the worst kind of poser, do not @ me. If you want a battered looking hat you need to inherit it from an elderly relative or buy a new hat and wear the shit out of it.

Trump’s halting of data collection could have effects that last far beyond his time in office. Even if a future administration seeks to resurrect some of the curtailed efforts, the 2025-29 hiatus will make trends harder to identify and understand.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Part of what perturbs me is that rfk jr says things like "autistic people will never write poetry", & well, yes, but how many "neuro-typical"people write poetry? I can place bets that there are hundreds of people on the Autism spectrum who have a better understanding of science than he does!

New makeup studios. Private trips on government helicopters. Millions for Trump’s golf outings. Billions to Musk's companies. Trump and his cabinet think working people should lose Medicaid and Social Security. But they could care less about "efficiency" when they benefit themselves.
