Democrats’ message should surely be: What Sen. Ernst really means here is that the donors, lobbyists, and elites Sen. Ernst now hangs around with don’t much care about some less well-off people dying.

Did anyone really think that electing a convicted felon and sexual predator would somehow lead America into a new era of promise? The TACO bell is ringing loudly and we're still only 5 months into the shit show.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Sen Joni Ernst ‘brilliantly’ says “we all die” as she votes to rip away critical health insurance from Iowa families. Why doesn’t she give up HER health insurance that covers her illnesses? I say she’s too cynical, cold and selfish for public service. That will be up to the people of Iowa.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Trump's eruption at Leonard Leo is deranged but the really bad part is where Trump basically says straight out that he should be allowed to disregard Congress when he decrees there's an emergency. He's laying the whole tyrant thing bare. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1959...
