I do think it's worth marking and remembering that these people were willing to tolerate everything we've experienced since January and more provided it didn't disrupt the economy.

Clarithromycin is an antibiotic and antibiotics generally don’t do shit for viruses which is what measles is. Budesonide is a steroid. This is fucking horseshit, Kennedy is a god damned eugenic ghoul there to help measles spread & feast on the pain & death he is causing. #ImpeachThemAll

To be clear, these grant freezes to universities aren’t about congressional authorized funds. They are about legally contracted funds, and the relevant legal questions aren’t about appropriations authority but basic contract law. (And yes, universities should be litigating.)

Just realizing that ALL the Dems in the Senate, ALL of them, including Bernie, voted to confirm Marco Rubio on Jan 20. There is a straight line from that decision to the disappearing of international students now. ALL the Dems voted for him. ALL of them.

Republicans talk about primarying people like it's terrifying. News flash: ALL POLITICIANS face elections regularly. A primary is something elected leaders should WELCOME. If you think exposure to democracy is the worst thing that can happen to a person, you clearly don't like democracy.

RFK says measles deaths are related to West Texas being in a food desert. Leaving aside his disinformation about the measles vaccine (which is safe and effective), will the administration respond by acting to improve food access in West Texas?

Republicans claim they support the First Amendment, but they sit idly by while the Trump Administration and the FCC violate free speech and freedom of the press by punishing dissenting voices and outlets that criticize Trump and Musk. @energycommerce.bsky.social won’t stay silent.

I didn't see the full meeting yesterday and most news coverage omitted how well Zelinskyy spoke and his attempts earlier in the meeting to raise the issue of security. It's worth seeing the whole thing, not just the fight at the end. youtu.be/7pxbGjvcdyY?...

The Trump administration has laid off the entire 18F office, a digital services unit within the General Services Administration, per email shared with me. “This decision was made with explicit direction from the top levels of leadership within both the Administration and GSA,” the email said.

If a private law firm took a significant number of cases and then cut its staff so it couldn't manage them, the Judge would show no sympathy. If a corporation couldn't afford the legal fees from a bunch of products liability claims, we wouldn't deny the injured plaintiffs relief. 1/

Wow. Federal Programs branch at full strength would have been buried trying to respond to these suits. At half staff . . . That there are so few willing to continue to work there might tell you something, though.

I genuinely think Trump and his buddy want to destroy the federal government entirely. I don't see how anyone could conclude otherwise. What will that leave? States & local governments. Companies & nonprofits. Churches & schools. Are these institutions all ready to step up? If not, get ready.

Vaccination eliminated measles from the U.S. 25 years ago. But it can still spread in pockets where vaccination rates are low, like the west Texas county with a current outbreak. Here's how fast.
