"Because of public skepticism, it is not settled science" is a profoundly anti-scientific view. It's embracing the notion that grifters can overcome truth with sheer volume, that truth itself isn't based in observable reality but in the scope of consensus.

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It is an attack on our humanity. Once you turn off empathy you can do anything. It will accelerate in Musks’ hands. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

What’s so insane is that no one wants this. Even Republicans don’t want to ally with Russia. But the way American policy is being set is that Trump does or says something deranged and then Republicans immediately rush to pretend they believed and supported it all along.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Transgender servicemembers are inherently immoral and dishonest, while the Tate brothers are worth saving. It's like someone TRIED to invent the most morally bankrupt reality possible. The only reason I'm not stroking out from pure rage right now is spite.

I logged onto LinkedIn today expecting to see my feed filled with outrage from the lawyer connections I have – most of whom are former federal government attorneys who now work outside the federal government in private practice or in the private sector. Per a Tuesday Executive Order, /1

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
