WHAT??? Do they have any idea how common early pregnancy loss is??? www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

Research dollars supported gene editing CRISPR, saving lives. www.inquirer.com/health/baby-...

"Gov. Josh Shapiro on Wednesday said he filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration in an attempt to get money he said Pennsylvania is owed for a federally funded program that buys food from local farmers to distribute to food banks." www.post-gazette.com/news/politic...

Today's the day that Trump's destruction of the economy hits a nadir. The 50% tax on steel and aluminum will cause massive job losses as the high costs of building materials will put construction on hold, drive up the costs for producers, reduce consumer spending, layoffs. From NPR this morning.

ICYMI: Trump is proposing lots of devastating cuts to HHS in his 2026 budget request. But one of the cruelest is a single line that ends all funding for a program that keeps low-income people from freezing to death in their homes. His justification? DEI. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I know this is AI, but it is great AI. Yeah Trump, I think President Zelensky has a few cards in his deck.

“Restoring Gold Standard Science.” It orders that “[e]mployees shall not engage in scientific misconduct”, gives political appointees power to silence any research they oppose “based on their own ‘judgment.’” They also have the power to punish those scientists whose work they find objectionable."

Of course it did...who is surprised? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

If you’re like me, this Memorial Day has felt particularly heavy. Perhaps all drawn to the shroud of forests feel things deeply. There’s a deep sense of loss. What inspires me about today is it is also a day to strengthen our resolve to move forward. Let us carry our flag onward 🇺🇸 #AltCitizen

Dr. Timothy Johnson speaks of the massive and catastrophic cuts in medical research...this will effect the future health of Americans for generations to come. These very bright and dedicated researchers were making headway into cures for CA, ALS, MS, Autoimmune disease and Alzheimer’s .

Ovarian CA news " planning additional studies, including trying to identify molecular markers of changes in the stroma caused by high-risk MSCs or STIC lesions that could form the basis for a test used to detect ovarian cancer earlier than is currently possible." www.cancer.gov/news-events/...

"The chapter said its issues with Fetterman were “far less about policy than it is his apparent inability to fulfill his job responsibilities,” citing missed votes, an inaccessible office, and “abusive” treatment of those who meet with him in person." www.pennlive.com/news/2025/05...

Donald Trump nearly destroyed America due to his corruption and incompetence Joe Biden not only fixed it all He saved the country Crafting the best economy in the world Creating 16 million jobs Investing in climate change solutions Even passing a BIPARTISAN gun safety bill G-d bless Joe Biden

Bring Pete Back. Fire Sean Duffy. #TrumpFailure

The Boss, thank you. youtu.be/6ZHWIYHlXOs?...

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office said Sunday. Biden was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found. He was evaluated last Friday at a hospital in Philadelphia, according to The New York Times.

Heartbreaking. www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-bid...

Why has right-wing media been so incredibly effective? I sat down with the @meidastouch.com brothers to dig deeper into how right-wing news outlets weaponize the American people’s suffering to influence opinions. Listen now or watch on my YouTube. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

No one should be celebrating and cheering that these Republican no votes meant that they grew a spine. As the article says, they voted no because they are holding out for even deeper cuts. www.post-gazette.com/news/politic...

Since abortion became almost entirely illegal in Texas in 2021, the state has seen a significant rise in the number of women who die in pregnancy or after giving birth. A new bill aims to change that.

If a retailer as big as Walmart can’t escape the pain of tariffs, what chance does a small business have? Their customers are inevitably going to see prices rise. Donald Trump’s tariffs are nothing more than a tax hike on consumers.

Gene editing through CRISPR is based on decades of federally funded research and had the potential to cure many genetic diseases. I use the word "had" as research funding has been cut and our best and brightest are being recruited by other countries. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

...and I guess MAGA is conveniently forgetting that Saudi Nationals were responsible for 9/11 and that Saudi diplomat Fahad al-Thumairy provided assistance to the hijackers and "tasked" an associate to help the hijackers when they arrived in Los Angeles. bsky.app/profile/hill...

Duffy on Sunday's Meet the Press, insisting Newark was safe. “It is,” he protested. “I fly out of Newark all the time, my family flies out of Newark.” Hours later, speaking on a conservative radio program...“My wife was flying out of Newark tomorrow, I switched her flight to LaGuardia”.

Trump has been a racist for decades. As he violently expels legal immigrants of color, he invites white “refugees” from South Africa.

This is incredibly sad. He is no longer the man we campaigned for prior to his CVA. He needs to voluntarily step down. www.post-gazette.com/news/politic...

Musk purportedly saved 150 billion, the cuts cost taxpayers 135 billion and now Trump is going to throw himself a military parade costing millions that will include 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, and 50 helicopters. Let's not forget the millions it costs us for him to golf every weekend.

He is unbelievably unfit. We already have a way to protect children, it is called vaccination, which is 97% effective with 2 doses. His Vitamin A "cure" sent children to the hospital with toxicity and liver damage. More children will die with him at the realm of the HHS.

"put a family outside in the rain in their underwear and then tore apart the house. They took the family’s phones, laptops, and life savings. But the people in the house were not the ones on the search warrant. They were all U.S. citizens, a mother and three girls recently arrived from Maryland."

The clash between Trump’s “determination to rule and his inability to govern has generated two opposing forces: a weaponized, illiberal state, and a smoldering political backlash," Jonathan Chait writes. "One of them will have to break."

Now, what about Hegseth? www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/p...

After 33 months of growth, the GDP shrunk during Trump's erratic, chaotic, tariff policies during his first 100 days, and he blames the economic downturn on Biden. Not only that, he is already preemptively blaming what will be a disastrous 2nd quarter economic downturn on Biden also.

Yeah, every country will suffer if they don't play ball with his ridiculous red light ...green light... red light... chaotic tariff policies. He is making every country great again EXCEPT for the US.

From @briantylercohen.bsky.social ....and he has the audacity today to blame Biden for his own decimation of our economy...

Dow plummeted after the U.S. Commerce Department reported that GDP surprisingly contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter, the economy's first such retreat in 3 years, since the first quarter of 2022 amid the Covid-19 crisis.

From Briantylercohen.bsky.social This is at the heart of why Trump threatened Bezos yesterday.

UPS said it expects to cut 20,000 jobs this year and close 73 buildings in the next two months, as the company reduces its business with Amazon and faces wider economic uncertainty.

Chinese e-commerce sites Temu and Shein have begun to add import charges to the total, and consumers have been sharing their receipts. If tariffs are so wonderful for the economy, why did Trump call Bezos and demand that Amazon not display the additional cost of tariffs next to price of items?

Breaking News: The Trump administration fired Joe Biden appointees, including Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum board.

Looks like Bezos just caved, wonder what he was threatened with? From. MSNBC "Jeff Bezos was very nice. He was terrific, he solved the problem very quickly. He did the right thing." "Trump speaks about his call with Jeff Bezos, after Amazon said it scrapped idea to display tariff costs."

"The Trump administration took aggressive aim at Amazon today, after reports that the company would begin displaying the added cost of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on items. White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the move a “hostile and political act.” www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Usually I share snippets of hcrichardson.bsky.social letters. Today, I need to have everyone spend 5 minutes reading it in its entirety. It is that powerful. JB Pritzker, thank you for that speech. Motivation to begin or to continue to fight. We are ready for the fight. bsky.app/profile/hcri...

From 60 Minutes, the implications of NIH cuts: Dr. Collins "when you're talking about clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease or cancer that may take 3 or 4 years, you can't just go in and decide, 'I'm going to shut those down and maybe I'll try something else.' Those are people's lives at risk. "

I saw this extraordinary moment last night. His on air rebuke was brave and powerful. I was still reeling from the implications of their report on the future of the health of Americans due to the decimation of the NIH as I watched this live. Bravo Scott Pelley. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/b...

So someone who poops his pants, does interviews full of word salad and falls asleep at the Pope's funeral signed an EO taking women back to the 70's where we either could not get credit or needed a man's permission? Gad. Come on women, contact your legislators. www.newsweek.com/trump-execut...
