This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Holy shit, R’ Abraham Joshua Heschel, z”l, does not mince words in this 1963 speech. Racism “is worse than idolatry” and is “a treacherous denial of the existence of God.” “Any god who is mine but not yours, any god concerned with me but not with you, is an idol.”

Just introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Chuck Edwards: the Economic Opportunity for Distressed Communities Act. It would turn all Superfund + Brownfield sites into Opportunity Zones—clean up pollution, attract investment, and give folks a tax break. Win-win.

On this day in 1911,146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

Just read the full Atlantic article about the Houthi group chat. One part that stuck with me is when they say “God Bless” and send prayer emojis to each other after killing 53 people who they considered enemies because they killed others in the name of their God.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials. if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc. They did something. Reward them.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Jeffrey Goldberg's name did not appear in the Signal chat list of participants. He appears as simply as “JB.” So who did they others think JB was, as they, clearly, did not think it was Jeffrey Goldberg? Justin Bieber? Joe Biden? Joey Buttafuoco? Jeff Bezos? Juanita Broaddrick? James Bond?

Factors like these are important. Who generally knows about water-soluble or fat-soluble vitamins? What are the many ways that misinformation can lead to further damage? Medicine is complex. We have plenty of technologies. Don't go backwards when many people other than you depend on your health.

Trump’s CDC is cancelling $11 billion in COVID funding allocated to health departments and nonprofits, claiming the grants are no longer necessary because the pandemic is over. This is wrong. COVID is a continuing threat and millions have Long COVID. We still need to do more to mitigate its harms.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Fox has been a disgrace for a long time, but last night was probably the most disgusting cocktail of lies from talentless hacks I have seen in two decades watching it. The only other period to rival it was the weeks after the 2020 election - which they paid $787 million for.

More political meddling at NIH: I'm told that multiple (2-4ish) members of the Boards of Scientific Counselors, which oversee intramural research, have been kicked off the boards before their term expires. No explanation given, but the thought is that these were folks who cared about DEI.
