📌NYT Headline: “Trump flips the script on Russia, blames Zelenskyy” Sorry, but what the fuck are we supposed to do with crap like this? 📌”Trump betrays Zelenskyy, surrenders to Russia” There, fixed it.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

This story is heartbreaking—yet another example of the suffering inflicted by the Trump administration.

As the mother of an autistic son who lived through the vaccine-autism scare of the 2000s, I’m infuriated and saddened by Trump’s embrace of this debunked idea. The public health impact is devastating, but so is the pain it causes autistic people and their families.

Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961? Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional? Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.

In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson. As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

For people with intellectual & developmental disabilities, undermining the US Dept of Education, which enforces the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, is awful. But drastically cutting Medicaid, which funds crucial home and community-based services, could be even worse. disabilityscoop.com

NPR quotes Lawrence Gostin, director of the O'Neill Institute at Georgetown U, on Dr. Oz's nomination to head CMS: "He peddles conspiracy theories on vaccines & fake cures. He profits from fringe medical ideas. By nominating RFK Jr. & Mehmet Oz, Trump is giving his middle finger to science." Yikes.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Thanks, @donmoyn.bsky.social, for explaining how the GOP’s moves will affect SNAP and Medicaid. As a parent who navigates the system for my disabled son, I know firsthand this will hurt recipients and overwhelm an already strained system.

We’re about to find out whether there are any patriots among Republican Senators, or whether they’ll make excuses for the foreign-backed demolition of our Republic that is now plainly underway.
