Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act. A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.

The NIH Director continues to misunderstand (or mischaracterize) the extent to which research is being gutted. I appreciate this program officer for speaking up.

Also routine screening is…routine, it’s not extensive. I’d had about 200 EKGs and echoes that showed there was nothing wrong with my heart until a CT angiogram showed there very much was. If they aren’t expecting you to be sick, they rarely look beyond the basics.

I'm declaring that the first litmus test for Republicans in the 2026 midterms is whether or not they have fully denounced AND completely apologized for the invasion of Iraq under George W. Bush, the late-term senility of Ronald Reagan, and the Whip Inflation Now buttons of Gerald Ford.

The owners want to help Trump. Many journalists do not want to help Trump. When these things are in tension, the journalists lose their jobs. Many of those who remain decide to help Trump. CBS News is now a propaganda outlet controlled by Trumpists.

BREAKING: in the fastest, simplest, and most conclusive study in NIH history, researchers have definitively determined—within seconds of beginning the investigation—that the cause of the "phenomenon of extreme negative reactions" to Donald Trump is objective reality.

This order stripping > 300,000 people of legal status (including work authorization) - unannounced in advance, just posted on the SCOTUS website, & unreasoned - is all the more cruel given the admin's desire to use the Alien Enemies Act and expel to El Salvador undocumented Venezuelan migrants.

“I’m not surprised that nobody turned in their colleagues,” a retired EPA worker said. His former co-workers understood the importance of addressing pollution that disproportionately impacted communities of color, he added. “That’s part of the mission — it has been for decades."

deleted a post that wasn't worth it. I'll say this instead: Jimmy Carter is I think the only figure in US history to have devoted his post-presidency to atoning for being president. To be president is to author suffering in the specific & abstract, & to hope you did enough to outweigh it.

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

Boy, I don’t know. It’s tough to say about a president, but I think he may be in decline, and it’s important enough that I’m glad Tapper wrote a book detailing it. <finger to ear> wait, getting an update. … Tapper’s book is about WHO being old and senile?!?
