Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

The Trmp campaign was able to sell voters on this Msk-led D.O.G.E. bullshit because for years a large segment of the U.S. public has been scammed into believing that A) government spending is intrinsically wasteful and B) budget deficits are self-evidently bad. A: It’s not and B: they’re not.

A pretty good heuristic for deciding whether or not to take someone seriously is if they say things like “the government should be run like a business.”

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring. NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Bernie Sanders is one of the two senators reportedly mulling a Yes vote on RFK Jr for Health and Human Services Secretary. I’ve agreed with Bernie a lot in the past, but if he votes yes, fuck him.

I’m gonna need Democrats/liberals/progressives to stop making “suggestions” for Elon Musk and DOGE about where to really cut government waste. DOGE isn’t about government waste at all. It’s about gutting the regulatory and welfare state. Don’t be cute. Call it what it is: oligarchy in action.

Yes, as through this world I’ve wandered I’ve seen lots of funny men; Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen. And as through your life you travel, Yes, as through your life you roam, You won't never see an outlaw Drive a family from their home. - Woody Guthrie

Kamala Harris treated climate change as an issue to be avoided. But climate is one of Dems' best opportunities to tell stories that, like Trump's, have clear villains and center the way elites (like Big Oil CEOs) are hurting working class people. That's why it's time for climate populism.

It is worth regularly revisiting this exchange between @aoc.bsky.social and scientists working for Exxon, who in 1982 accurately predicted global warming between 1977 and 2003, contradicting the fossil fuel company's decades-long climate denial.

Trump is the most overtly corrupt politician probably ever in American history and he's treated like a populist. It's just so so depressing. He gets paid by domestic and foreign entities through his businesses and it just doesn't even register as a scandal

Trans people are less than one percent of the population, which is why they are under attack in the first place. They are the tip of the spear. If we allow the attacks to go unchallenged, other groups will soon follow. Defending trans people is not a choice. It’s right and necessary self-defense.

It’s important for the Democratic Party to continue to be run by former Obama, Clinton, and Harry Reid aides, who presided over the party’s collapse and the ascent of Donald Trump. This is a clear priority above all else.

The old model of journalism—where reporters treat everything, including factual errors, as “he said/she said” conundrums in exchange for access—has failed miserably and brought us to this point. It’s time a new, simpler model: Kick the bastards in the teeth.

A large chunk of the electorate believes Democrats have moved “far to the left” on “the border.” It’s complete nonsense that points to two crucial issues: - The information environment is a disaster. - The idea that Democrats just need to be a little more cruel to “convince” people is bizarre.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The right has an organized group of young men because they bother to reach out to them. The Dems have lost their young voters by offering them condescension and police brutality in response to their concerns.
