this appears to be the new regime oped page at wapo. WOW. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Literally all he did was quote someone. Defining criticism of the government as treason is what authoritarians do. Turning a publicly funded news outlet into a state media propaganda machine is what authoritarians do.

Today’s bloodbath at NWS reminds me of discussions over the years about the limits of predictability in weather forecasting. I would have never guessed that we’re gonna hit that limit in the US because of two insane rich guys.

Breaking News: The Trump administration today repatriated the 170+ Venezuelans it sent to Guantanamo Bay, emptied the migrant operation it hastily established earlier this month. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

🚨🚨🚨 Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

1. Vertical (mother to child) transmission of HIV in the US is close to being eliminated—one of the greatest public health successes in modern times 2. RFK Jr is an AIDS denialist, & I fear that putting an AIDS denialist in charge of the nation’s health could be a huge setback to progress

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

Space exploration. It's cool, but here's the deal. I'm 58. I'm never going to live on another planet. It's highly unlikely of my children, or grandchildren will. Invest those billions of dollars in this fucking planet, where 7 billion people already live...and where conditions support LIFE.
