I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

I love everything she writes. This piece was profound. Not surprising, since she’s been writing about the takeover of our country by a multinational crime syndicate for a decade or so.

Both political parties and the FBI were long ago infiltrated by the "Russian mafia", which is actually a transnational crime syndicate in which the Kremlin is a key hub -- one with particular importance for Trump. Two former heads of the FBI went on to work for the Russian mafia.

Whoever cast this season of White Lotus is a genius. Parker Posey of House of Yes fame playing mother to a descendent of an actual Kennedy. This is the uncomfortable weirdness I live for.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Under no circumstances should Democrats work with Republicans for the next two years. This might be a hot take and a Valentine's Dinner solo with bourbon take. But F them. They don't give a damn about democracy or the constitution. So figure this shit out alone. DO NOT HELP THEM. PERIOD

It’s fascinating to be a trans woman in this moment because there are millions of non-trans men in this country who think our fully-clothed existence is somehow inappropriate — yet these are the same men who have spent the past 72 hours gleefully sharing pics of Bianca Censori on the red carpet.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

Deeply appreciate the congressman doing this, but at some point we’re going to need our elected officials to refuse to take no for an answer. Make them arrest you if need be. Force the issue.
