FRAUDULENT—RFK Jr’s report on “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) cited completely FAKE studies that do not even exist, & completely misinterprets others. Truly wild. This is the same guy who bypassed all CDC scientists to put out anti vax nonsense. www.notus.org/health-scien...

My Op Ed: President Trump often touted that his first administration approved more generic drugs than any in history. He had good reason to highlight the success. Recently, however, the FDA review team enabling these approvals was disbanded, and it may undo that historic progress. @statnews.com

GOP to America: Stop clinging to your healthcare and retirement. We are all going to die sometime. We’re just gonna make sure it happens sooner, and from a homeless shelter.

Trump does have one achievement though.

They let this man ravage our govt & make decisions that resulted in suffering worldwide, & loss of jobs, livelihood & security at home. The irresponsibility & negligence ….. DO NOT LET SPEAKER JOHNSON NEAR A MIC OR CAMERA W/O DEMANDING HE ACCOUNT FOR THIS. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

This is who put USAID “in a wood chipper,” slashed jobs across the govt to leave our health services, our national parks, our education system, Social Security & Medicaid in shambles. Oh, and he and his minions have all your private data. Well done, Speaker Johnson. Folks it’s all about 2026.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Folks Trump has no authority to fire the National Portrait Gallery director and no one need report it as if he does

This is monstrous.

“Do you know what it’s like to be targeted by the President of the United States.” - Ruby Freeman *First they came for….

The Wisconsin Judge indicted by DOJ has filed a motion to dismiss her indictment. "The indictment is an ugly innovation." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Oversight is not optional. We will not stand by while Trump shreds the constitution, treats people with cruelty and spreads fear across the nation. I will not back away from this fight.

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

Video shows two unknown men, without uniforms or identifying insignias, attacking and kidnapping a man from a Nashua, NH courthouse back in February. During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

This has to stop. Has to.

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

Trump Republicanism targets firefighters, first responders, miners, people who work in manufacturing: "We’re really losing 40 years worth of work. Even if they restart them, we’re going to have lost so many people to follow up...” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

No no no! These university leaders don’t get it. If you negotiate one on one you don’t buy peace; you just expose the whole sector and yourselves to more shakedowns. See law firms. The only response is to unite in collective action and fight the Admin’s illegality. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

Curtis Yarvin goes on @cnn.com, confirms that he wants a monarchy to replace democracy, says racist things and informs @hadasgold.bsky.social that he's in touch with Trump staffers. Nice to see the mainstream press catch up on this dangerously weird ideology. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

Precisely.

This is absolutely essential reading in case you’re wondering what the wholesale dismantling of civil service work has to do with you. data4democracy.substack.com/p/how-to-dis...

HEINOUS—Trump HHS’s RFK Jr just ended US recommendation that healthy pregnant women & kids receive COVID vaccines. 📌Extraordinary move that bypasses scientific system of vaccine guidelines from CDC!! Kids & women are not immune to Long COVID! Gift🎁🔗 wapo.st/4kk4DlE

Not many goods used in the wedding industry remain untouched by the tariffs Trump has imposed since returning to office.

Now we know the going price for a Trump pardon is $1,000,000 and a loyalty oath.

In Miami-Dade, nearly 1 in 4 of all households rely on SNAP to pay their grocery bills. Rep. Maria Salazar voted to cut food assistance for her own constituents.

A federal judge blocked the Trump admin's attempt to end New York City's congestion tolling. U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman is a Trump appointee. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The reason Apple manufactures in China is b/c of YEARS of investment in vocational training there. Any effort to bring these industries onshore STARTS WITH INVESTING IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. And it will take YEARS. It’s not about tiny hands (so stupid). Here’s Apple CEO Tim Cook

🚨You should read this official State Dept post bc it foreshadows a major fight: Zuckerberg & Musk want 🇪🇺 regulators off their backs. Trump & Vance want to help AfD, Le Pen, and the global populist right. So they are reframing tech regulation as tyranny & censorship. open.substack.com/pub/statedep...

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

"The brazenness of the self-enrichment resembles nothing seen in any earlier White House. This is American corruption on the scale of a post-Soviet republic or a postcolonial African dictatorship." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m not caping for Apple. Trust. But if Trump seriously cared about bringing manufacturing here there would be a focus on K-12 education. Literacy & numeracy. Dismantling the DOE wouldn’t be a priority. And it would take years. Not “move manufacturing back this year” or I’ll break your business.

The Fulton County, Georgia Board of Commissioners recently voted 5-2 to reject the GOP’s nominations of two prominent election deniers to the county board of elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“.. Taxpayers earning more than $3.4 million per year would receive a roughly $275,000 boost .. “.. while those with less than $13,000 in annual income .. would go down due to cuts to social programs such as Medicaid and food stamps..” @jeffstein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump bid to deport Columbia activist Khalil likely unconstitutional, judge says reut.rs/3SqcX76

PLEASE read this thread. It's vital. And offers a way to fight this open threat.

JUST IN: Trump bid to deport Columbia activist Khalil likely unconstitutional, judge says reut.rs/4jna81y

German coalition agrees on raft of measures to boost growth reut.rs/4jp67cW

NEW: In today's opinion, Judge Farbiarz says the government's invocation of the "foreign policy provision" to deport Mahmoud Khalil was likely unconstitutional. He invites further briefing and will issue an order on Wednesday with next steps.

Also, the entire idea that "gangs ... came here in droves" is PROPAGANDA.
