Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Let’s scrutinize the trajectories of the nations that gave up their nuclear weapons ambitions, shall we? #howfaretheytoday

There’s a lot going on, and it seems like every week, #SCOTUS grants another Trump emergency application. But last night’s ruling in the third-country removal case stands out as especially problematic—not just for what it greenlights, but for the defiance of lower courts it necessarily condones:

I spit my cofefe! 🤣

One problem is that Trump is always so anxious to declare victory and seek credit/adoration/prizes for it that he gets out in front of reality to create his fan fiction. It’s all about short-term ā€œwinsā€ for Trump and Fox news cycles, not anything lasting, durable, or sustainable.

Oh so it turns out solving a middle eastern conflict isn't as simple as doing a flyover, dropping a couple payloads, and calling it done? Damn, who could have guessed

This regime operates on the trump organization ā€œask forgiveness, not permissionā€ policy. Only they no longer bother to ask forgiveness.

Has everyone forgotten?

As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🄺

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

Take note.

America saw Dr. Strangelove and said ā€œwe can be worse than that.ā€

Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

You know what would truly ā€œmake America great again? New management.

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

The slippery slope is sliding faster and faster 😔

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Russia was kicked out of the G8 in March 2014 exactly BECAUSE it launched its war in Ukraine by invading and forcibly annexing Crimea.

Worth every penny spent.

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

Troops ambling (rather than marching) past the review stand while the marching band played ā€œFortunate Sonā€ was just the lol touch this military trumpstravaganza needed.
