The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.

This viral tiktok made me think of a fantastic article by my friend @melaniehamlett.bsky.social “men have no friends & women bear the burden”

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Getting creative! 😉 Hundreds of billboards are rising in 40 U.S. cities, bashing staff and service cuts at national parks under DOGE.

This is a huge, huge coup for Dems and a massive set back for GOPs going into 2026. Ossoff is a favorite against every other possible opponent and Kemp was the perfect GOP candidate to oppose him.

Instead of waking up every morning and thinking about how it's all going down the tubes, I keep reminding myself: There are many, many people who are keeping their heads down, doing what they can, quietly discharging their responsibilities and avoiding attention. I know some of them. Focus on that.

Big news out of Georgia

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

And there you have it.

This guy outside the Capitol seems to really be enjoying his weekend. What a vibe.

The Economy Only Works For One Group Of Individuals And Not The Rest Of Us….

Absolutely read this economist.com/europe/2025/... from The Economist

We raised three boys and didn’t have a problem with any of them getting red-pilled as teens. To the degree I had anything to do with that, it greatly helped being Internet literate and knowing who and what to watch out for. When my kid mentioned Tate at 13 (the common age), it got sorted quickly.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

For folks saying,"Ignore the Pope thing! He wants to offend you! Don't you get it!" I have this rule I follow. I say what I think. I don't get into second order head games in which I think I'm outwitting someone else by strategically not saying what I think. Perhaps Im simple. But that's how I roll.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

Indoctrination.

Accurate…

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Some ups, some down, but overall a good reading month for April. #BookSky #AprilReading

They really did.

Let’s celebrate some good news: the SAVE Act will not be getting past the Senate👏👏👏👏 Let’s still stay vigilant, but also these wins fuel us for the next fight. #generalstrike #solidarity

Neutral Switzerland 🔥 I love this so much…

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Is it me, or does this actually sound like what Communist countries would say and do but just with their own version of "ideology"?

More from the protests #NoKings #NoNazisEither

Big yikes

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

The markets know the difference.
