“This is going to be a massive loss of life overall,” a surgeon who formerly led USAID’s global health initiatives tells @gregsargent.bsky.social. “Children are likely already dying, and will clearly be dying in large numbers.”

For anyone wondering why Donald Trump refuses to criticise Putin, while hectoring Zelenskyy, here is my piece about the US president's 1987 trip to Moscow. Trump's visit was arranged by the ... KGB. Extract comes from my #1 New York Times-bestselling book 'Collusion' www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

Breaking News: David Johansen, who as frontman of the New York Dolls was in the vanguard of glam and punk rock, has died at 75.

More than a dozen senior leaders at FEMA have been fired or have quit under President Trump, weeks ahead of hurricane season.

The grift continues: FAA is taking a $2.4 billion contract, awarded 2 years ago to Verizon, and giving it to Musk's Starlink. Meanwhile, Musk has fired the FAA investigators who were looking into Musk's SpaceX for alleged safety violations. www.msn.com/en-us/news/t...

The Trump administration isn't just pro-Russia. It's pro-virus as well.

Grabbed my measles vax and a pad-kee-mao lunch special, extra spicy, with a large Thai iced tea, and enjoyed driving around so much on this glorious sunny spring day in Las Vegas, I almost forgot that our country is rapidly sliding into tyranny and depraved corruption.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

ICYMI: DOGE’s *own data* show that approx 40% of its cuts are saving the government a grand total of… 🥁 $0 👀😬⤵️

"FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled..." Drug companies need about 6 months to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. No flu strain selection, no flu vaccine, lots of sick people. A triumph for pathogens, courtesy of idiot conspiracy theorists.

Today is a good time to remind everyone to consider supporting independent journalism. Also, federal workers, please consider talking to journalists from independent news outlets. Signal: abbyvesoulis.09

Punk Rock Bowling next spring in Las Vegas features ska-punk rockers The Interrupters, cleaned up drunks Social Distortion, the not-quite New Order, and Gang of Four, among many others. PRB remains probably the best curated punk and punk-adjacent festival around, year after year. punkrockbowling.com

The chemtrail controls are cleverly hidden in gender-neutral aircraft bathrooms.

I’m seeing two tradeoffs that I would consider right there on the screen.

Stolen from elsewhere.

I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky. I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly. Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6

A good start. chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...
