It’s the stupid, economy.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

New: HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. said he wouldn’t take away childhood vaccines. Then he cut $2 billion from state health programs that helps get them to kids. Clinics canceled. Nurses fired. Immunizations stalled—all amid a measles outbreak. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

CDC was gutted today, entire departments wiped out, including much of the global HIV program. Career scientists and doctors lost their jobs overnight. This isn't just bureaucracy; people will die from preventable diseases, and public health will suffer for years. A massive step back for science.

This is a first. Today, the most powerful man in the White House is saying OUT LOUD he wants to "ELIMINATE" Social Security and Medicare. Eliminate. Not "cut," not "reduce." Not even raise the retirement age. ELIMINATE. Sit on that for a minute. This is your money.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I’m not a national security expert, but what do you suppose our enemies could do with disgruntled, unfairly terminated nuclear bomb experts?

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

A town in Texas called Gun Barrel City arrested a crazed gunman wearing a ballistic vest for threatening to shoot up a Walmart. This is the most American story I've seen all week.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

PSA: At Los Angeles' current air quality, spending time outdoors is the equivalent of smoking a cigarette. If you're in LA: 1. Close your windows, stay inside. 2. If you have an air filter, replace the filter and keep it on full blast. 3. If you must go out, wear the best mask you've got.

Proudly a member of the party who will not be carrying Confederate flags and defecating in the Capitol today.

According to MAGA, carrying a Confederate flag into the rotunda is “patriotic”, but lowering our flags to honor the passing of a former President, is not.
