USA Today: Trump administration cancels contract with Moderna to develop a bird flu vaccine Moderna had been awarded more than $750 million to develop a vaccine against bird flu, which has been circulating in farm animals and sickening people, killing one. www.usatoday.com/story/news/h...

Sounds about right. This is a reminder that, yes, ICE can in fact bring people back that it has wrongfully deported. It is just choosing not to do that for Mr. Abrego Garcia, in violation of a court order. But in this case, it doesn't have the figleaf of CECOT to hide behind.

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

Who took out Trump's tariffs? Dem AGs @democraticags.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

NEW: @nbcnews.com reports that an immigration judge dismissed the asylum case of Andry Hernandez, the innocent man currently imprisoned without trial in El Salvador pursuant to a deal between the Trump admin and Nayib Bukele. His lawyers argue that this is an attempt to "complete the disappearance."

RANK MAMDANI 1, CUOMO NONE

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

“.. guess that $2+ trillion in tariff revenue is looking less plausible now.” - @conorsen.bsky.social @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Beyond parody.

Openly negotiating the price of the bribe being paid to the President to grant approval to a regulatory merger. Happening right in front of us.

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

Gov. Hochul:

The Secretary of Transportation would like for you to stay put in a house, which is his only real world skill

1. In 2021, Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, predicted it would generate $835 million in revenue in 2024. Actual 2024 results: $3.6 million in revenue on $189 million in expenses. So now TMTG has decided it will just be a vehicle for buying bitcoin

Building security at 26 Federal Plaza sent a message to employees addressing the ICE presence. Text of email was shared directly with me. “These actions are being carried out in accordance with directives issued by the White House and may continue for the foreseeable future.”

When we communicate science, we often don't say where the resources for it come from. This is clearly a mistake: people consuming science should know who is funding it--and if that funding is being taken away. So, I decided to document the funding sources of every scientist mentioned in my book.

A reminder that the Third Circuit upheld these convictions. Two of the three judges making that finding were appointed by Trump Trump is just blasting out the message that terrorists attacking his enemies will be protected www.courthousenews.com/sixth-circui...

It can't happen here (Oh wait, it can. A cautionary tale from way back in February) www.forbes.com/sites/digita...

Yup.

Wouldn't this basically be...money laundering?

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

Trump is literally trying to centrally plan the American economy. I always thought Republicans were against that sort of thing.

The Fulton County, Georgia Board of Commissioners recently voted 5-2 to reject the GOP’s nominations of two prominent election deniers to the county board of elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Mentioned this last week. Bears mentioning again. At elite universities the majority of students receive some amount of financial aid. A significant number of low income students's families *at elite schools* pay nothing at all. A significant amount of it is because foreign students usually pay ...

People have focused on the kook aspects of RFK Jr in a way that obscured his authoritarianism and cruelty. But he’s genuinely an enemy of freedom and basic decency. He’s a narcissist, a eugenicist, and a predator.

NEW — I obtained the full State Dept. memo Politico reported on earlier today that calls for a pause on the scheduling of interviews for certain foreign student visas: www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Duffy loses his first 2025 Road Rules Challenge.

just perfect that John Roberts' Unitary Executive Theory cashes out with a total vacant ignoramus in the White House. functionally there is no president, outside of tariff-via-Truth Social post bsky.app/profile/atru...

Marco Rubio, in his current job, took the official actions that led to Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Öztürk being abducted and imprisoned for their speech in the United States.

Universities, even public universities (and what's under discussion is a private one) are part of the plurality of civil society. Universities are older than states, have their own purposes and meaning, and are not reducible to what any political administration tries to accomplish.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been charged with rаpe and human trafficking in the UK

1/ If I were pregnant, or considering ever becoming pregnant, I would be so outraged at RFK delisting COVID vaccination. Not only are unvaccinated women much more likely to miscarry or have a stillbirth if they contract COVID but it leaves newborns, who are extra susceptible, extremely vulnerable.

Wow! The trade deals Trump says are coming? They’re deals that will personally line his pockets. Watch…

“Sleeping on the factory floor” again. 🤡
