“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Scientists of the world, this is happening on our watch and we need to face it down. Evidence-based medicine weaponised for overtly ideological purposes. We do not need randomised trials of 'vaccine' versus 'no vaccine' when those vaccines have already been shown to be safe & effective. #episky 🧪

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

Bill Kristol is to the left of a lot of reactionary centrist columnists and even a few Democratic members of Congress. The Never Trumpers have already been through a losing fight against the far right. In some cases, it’s improved their core understanding of politics.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

This morning, President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally seized $80M in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from NYC bank accounts. Trump and Elon stole tens of millions of dollars straight from our bank accounts--this is highway robbery, and NY cannot take this lying down.

"[Musk is] already very clearly operating here as an independent actor whose actions the President blesses after he’s found out what’s happened. This is a parallel overlaying of authority over the entire structure of the US government. We’re in dystopian quasi-science fiction territory here."

The order requires OMB to tell all grant/aid recipients that the freeze has been blocked. OMB must roll back any steps they had already taken to carry it out. Will Trump's executive branch follow the court's order? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

US consumer confidence dropped in January to a four-month low thanks in part to renewed pessimism about the labor market and the outlook for the broader economy. Say goodbye to the Biden economy. 😩😢

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

Trump originally called for a ban on TikTok. Now, he’s counting on people’s ignorance to claim he’ll be its savior. When people know the facts it’s less easy to manipulate them.
