There may be thousands infected by the time the CDC does its next update. Not only have they stopped controlling disease, but they want to pretend if they don’t monitor nothing will happen.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

Also deafening and shameful in their silence: our four living presidents, especially the Republican one who should have not been a total coward & endorsed Harris in October. Where are they?

It's not only the major American media outlets that are failing. It's also university presidents and academics, clerics, business leaders, retired military officers, lawyers, physicians, etc. Oh, and Democrats, too.

THIS IS SERIOUS: Republicans want to gut healthcare from millions of kids, seniors, and disabled people—all to fund $4.5T in tax cuts for billionaires. Not just numbers on a spreadsheet—kids losing inhalers, babies missing checkups, parents choosing between food and medicine. Hands Off My Medicaid

This will go pretty well unless you are a government employee, rely on the government for anything at all, don't hate the poor and middle class, don't jerk it to the image of Billionaire edgelord sociopath narcissists running roughshod over normal people, or have a soul

“Hey guys…I know you said you were all about settled law before but can you just toss out this 90 year old ruling! It’s super getting in the way of our fascism. That would be great. Mmmm…kay…thanks!”

The millions in USAID food is STILL sitting at the Port of Houston. Trump fired the watchdogs reporting on this story, he doesn’t want Americans to see this debacle. Wasting millions on food already purchased is the epitome of wealthy entitlement #Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/usa...

Are we great yet? Devastating thread. They are going to have so much blood on their hands. Heartless people may not care - this is far away. It will happen here too with cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Soc. Security. While those in the White Palace dance with glee.

Cruel, barbaric, and inhumane is the new Trump-Musk America: With Trump and Elon Musk leading the way, America continues its descent into authoritarian fascism. Authoritarian regimes around the world cheer on dismantling of USAid. 😳👇 tinyurl.com/yktc68hu

The #GOP made a choice to sacrifice children on the altar of their loyalty to #Trump. They have made their mark for history now. It is a stain that will never come clean.

100% this. Why doesn’t one single elected official do something or at least say something? The worst is already happening. I don’t think they have much more to be afraid of.

There has never been a larger gap in my (admittedly quite short) professional life between how lay folks and law profs are talking about what is happening in government right now. So much of what Trump is doing is just blatantly illegal — often in several ways at once.

A lot of tragedy is going to occur over the coming four years as Americans inevitably find out the hard way that governments, while imperfect, actually do many things that make their lives better and safer.

I commend Dr. Kennedy-Meltzer on the courage of sharing this with the public. I beseech people to see reason: there is no one more anti-qualified to serve as secretary of HHS. www.statnews.com/2025/01/28/k... www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Mike Johnson's fake "Jefferson prayer" didn't read like an honest mistake, but a deliberate provocation. He even mocked historians in his intro. I put his stunt into context. Fake history is a linchpin weapon of Christian nationalists. www.salon.com/2025/01/07/w...

The big story today is the Matt Gaetz report. The bigger story should be the incoming President, despite knowing what Gaetz is, because everyone in Congress knew, still wanted to make him the Attorney General of the United States. Never normalize his madness, his corruption. Even for a single day.

As a lawyer let me be clear: ABC News was NEVER going to lose the defamation lawsuit to Trump. They agreed to pay Trump $15 million bc in their view it's good for business. Don't let these oligarchs gaslight you: Trump is still a FASCIST threat. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/dont-let-t...

Yes. The AG shouldn’t be under investigation by the DOJ. The Director of National Intelligence shouldn’t be on a TSA watch list. The HHS Secretary shouldn’t be an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. The Secretary of Education shouldn’t have a history of allowing men to abuse children. 🤷‍♂️
