New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Trump Admin fired all of the US Attorneys appointed by Biden, informed them by email, and sent the messages to the wrong email addresses. Not just classless, but incompetent, too.

For those not familiar with how financial markets work, US Treasuries are the ultimate safe asset, used as collateral for everything. Even a hint that some Treasuries might not be honored could bring everything to a screeching halt 1/

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Since last summer, I view all Federal and election coverage by the NY Times as sus. Such a shame.

The Trump Administration is launching nothing less than a giant affirmative action program for straight white men, a great many of whom, including Trump and Vance, are utterly unqualified for their positions and would be mocked for their hubris if they were women or Black or gay or.....

Folks are so focused on the pardoning of the insurrectionists — understandably so — they may have missed this. Trump is pardoning people who have gone after abortion clinics, their patients, staff, and volunteers. This will absolutely embolden them, and I fear, escalate their violence.

Patel, who is Trump's nominee to be FBI director, has refused to identify the singers in the track he produced. He has called them "political prisoners." We now know that several of them, maybe all, assaulted the police who were protecting the Capitol on January 6th.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

all this anti immigrant lawmaking bullshit boils down to 'we still need you to work the fields and restaurants and construction and everything else but we can call and get your mother arrested at any time so keep your fucking mouth shut about water breaks'

Despite being a Senator for nearly 30 years, Jack Reed is not widely-known. He's a heads-down, low-key man who takes his job seriously. On issues related to our armed forces, he's respected across the aisle and throughout the military. So when he says that Pete Hegseth is unqualified, he means it.

The GOP is mounting the largest, most brazen post-election disenfranchisement effort since Trump's frivolous litigation in 2020. This time, however, they may get away with it and the legacy media is largely asleep. Follow @democracydocket.com to stay up to date.

I had measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, multiple episodes of flu - all before vaccines for these illnesses. I missed lots of school and lots of fun because of being sick so much. Who would put their kids thru that if it can be safely avoided. Yes, safely!

Shoutout to everyone who takes photos for some part of their job and therefore is handed a relative’s outdated phone to take group snapshots because “you’re the professional photographer in the family” and then handed a bunch more phones because “I want one on my phone too”

I’m always the most amazed by parents who don’t bat an eye consenting their children for transfusion, chemotherapy, stem cell transplant and then decline vaccinations.
