A new government report adds to evidence that the HPV vaccine, once called dangerous by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is preventing cervical cancer in young women. apnews.com/article/hpv-...

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Why don’t you wear a suit?

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Friend who served in the Army says he’s getting messages from friends still serving saying, “I’m ashamed to be an American.” Utterly disgusting.

Dickless chode

Five former defense secretaries denounced President Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, saying that the officers were “fired for purely partisan reasons” and urging Congress to hold hearings.

NEW: RFK Jr.'s "radical transparency" means ending a 54-year-old transparency policy. A Nixon-era policy gave the public the ability to comment on HHS decisions relating to “public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.“ RFK Jr. ended that on Friday. www.lawdork.com/p/rfk-jr-rad...

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

This moment is medieval - Jackson Katz on misogyny and why men must oppose Trumpism

USAID contractors have urged the Supreme Court to require Trump administration to pay $2 billion for services rendered, as ordered by a federal judge. Filing: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

The FDA's abrupt decision to cancel next month’s vaccine advisory committee meeting — where experts recommend the strains for next season’s flu shot — is raising concerns about whether the U.S. will have enough of the vaccine for the next flu season.

Remember that Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025, and disavowed much of it, as this excerpt from Project 2025 shows

"Threatening criminal proceedings for exercising the First Amendment is itself a violation of the First Amendment" is absolutely correct. Good letter from @aoc.bsky.social. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

NEW: Texas has introduced a bill to ban gender affirming care for all ages. www.transvitae.com/texas-bill-s...

Not even hiding it.

#EconomicBlackout

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

No more work-from-home, government workers, except for Kash Patel, who will run the FBI from Las Vegas www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

"Frank traveled this month to DC to speak with Alaska’s congressional delegation... she said she was well received by Begich. “He assured that he 100% backed us on fighting to not have any cuts to Medicaid,” said Frank. Now, she said she feels betrayed by his vote..." www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

Transparency is going great.

Not pro-life

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

The govt just launched a portal to report DEI in public schools- do let them know your thoughts! @daveanthony.bsky.social @ourschoolsusa.bsky.social @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @socalextremismwatch.com @glendaleout.bsky.social @prideatthepier.bsky.social @thechartyb.com enddei.ed.gov

NEW: senior spokesperson for the DoJ, 23-year civil servant, and disabled Marine Veteran RESIGNS citing a toxic and hostile work environment.

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

Quite the message from the guy running our government

USAID staff have two days to clean out their offices at the agency’s former headquarters in DC. People are gathering on the sidewalk in the rain to show their support, applauding workers as they pass by.

The New Mexico congressional delegation is pleading with RFK Jr. to promote vaccination and provide other resources in the wake of the measles outbreak. Instead, Kennedy says that the death of a school-aged child as “not unusual”. He can’t get out of his anti-vax corner. His ego is paramount.

Donald Trump said he wants to deport rapists and sex traffickers. Turns out he's now importing them.

Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, who are charged with human trafficking in Romania, arrived Thursday in South Florida after authorities lifted travel restrictions imposed as part of the case. Did they purchase $5 million "Gold Cards?" www.local10.com/news/local/2...

Rather than prevent the looming economic calamity, they’re going to blame it on Biden.

In 6 weeks Trump has effectively gutted the government, threatened the world order, threatened government workers, risked plunging us into a recession with all the personnel cuts and eliminated most of the regulations that kept the oligarchs in check. www.salon.com/2025/02/27/t...

(Reuters) - The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Thursday dropped a legal action against Capital One, which the agency had accused last month of cheating consumers out of more than $2 billion in interest payments on savings accounts. $COF
