Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Pet peeve: I hate how often ppl claim “all the researchers will just move to Europe/Canada!” You vastly under-estimate how little money there is there vs the USA- and unless that changes ASAP this loss is just going to decimate global science, full stop. 🧪🔭

Canadians — tell your friends to leave X. Tell people whose posts you like to read to leave. Tell your governments and your elected officials. Tell your favourite pundits and shitposters. Tell the people with bad takes to bring them here. X is a platform used to undermine our sovereignty. Leave it.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He humiliated the United States of America. And he made the world a much more dangerous place. Mob boss foreign policy will not work. The Trump-Putin axis fully came out of the closet today.

And by "local Democrats," I mean anyone -- a mayor or town council member, the school board, the local party, a former or future Democratic congressional candidate or, you know, even you Ask your Republican representative to hold one but if they don't, hold your own. Don't wait on anyone else.

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

@npr.org I know there’s a lot to cover but the fact that the Emil Bove/Eric Adams story was not mentioned at all in your news summary this morning, much less the top headline, is extremely disappointing.

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.

“They didn’t assault.” That Trump is allowed to deny the reality we saw with our eyes on Jan 6th, that is on tape!, & just ramble on with lie after lie, is a total indictment of our failed media industry. How reporters can just stand there as he says this stuff is beyond me. Have some self respect!

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Once, I had a small business hand-dyeing yarn. I Just got an email from a Canadian supplier from way back then, talking about the impact tariffs would have on pricing if they go into effect tomorrow. On both sides of the border, small businesses, as well as consumers, are going to be hurt by Trump.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists.

Free "modest proposal" for Denmark. Call Trump's bluff. Demand $100B as a downpayment for negotiations over Greenland. Then use it to start hiring all the scientists whose NIH grants have been frozen. Steal America's scientific expertise while Trump is yelling at icebergs.
