worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

If you have some time, please send polite emails today to the CDC ACIP voting members urging them to advocate for Novavax access in the fall. RFK is trying to kill it for being "single antigen" & they are trying to move it to risk-based approval, so insurance won't have to pay. #resist

All those years of “nerdprom” vanity, and the WHCA appears to have evaporated without a fight.

Trump talking to Musk - about incarcerating NOT JUST American citizens that are criminals currently incarcerated here... But also "non productive" citizens. I really really hope that @hcrichardson.bsky.social addresses this during her Virtual Town Hall in just an hour... (Everyone should attend)

Van Hollen can clearly see a future where even senators and Justices get disappeared to El Salvador. Hopefully the rest of America's elites get their shit together and recognize opposing Trump is in their own self-interest too.

They violated a court order to keep the AP out of the event where they publicly violated a different court order

Trump just said US citizens who are accused of things like assault should be shipped to an El Salvador prison, presumably without due process or a trial by jury. Just SAYING that he asked his Attorney General to do this is an impeachable offense. Full stop.

If you pay taxes in America, you paid to develop the Novavax vaccine for Covid-19. THIS was the shot that Operation Warp Speed funded. It's extremely effective, gives lasting immunity and most recipients don't have side effects. And it looks like the FDA is not going to approve it for next season.

F U C K Bill Maher, and I don't particularly care if Trump is "gracious and measured" in private with his donors and sycophants over a taxpayer-funded White House dinner. How the fuck does that have any impact on him destroying America from the inside out and trying to become a king?

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

This is happening in spite of the fact that the president is not in charge of the Smithsonian. It's not an executive branch government agency, rather it's chartered by Congress and under a board of regents created by statute, none of whom are even appointed by the president.

It's wild that nearly all the interesting political media figures and commentators no one has heard of that are objectively worth profiling happen to be far right. That's the impression you get reading the Times, at least.

Can't believe the FDA is likely to not approve the Novavax Covid19 vaccine this year. Just stunning. This is the vaccine we paid for with U.S. taxpayer dollars. This is the vaccine with fewer side effects and that actually works to prevent infection. www.statnews.com/2025/04/10/r...

AGAIN: There is no way to get the massive billionaire tax cuts they want and cut $1.5 trillion from the budget without taking away people’s health care. Basic math.
