We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

It's getting tiring to keep saying this, but for posterity's sake I will: any previous administration would have been instantly sunk by this. Before January 20, 2017, this would have been the most stunning corruption scandal in the history of the American justice system. Now, it's...a Thursday.

Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961? Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional? Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.

The executive branch does not have the legal right to cancel appropriated spending or eliminate agencies created by Congress. Trump and Musk are doing both. Entirely lawless and unconstitutional. The world's largest provider of food assistance shut down. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I already knew Fox News is just state propaganda TV, but wtf is this presentation of executive orders? Is this what anyone thinks an effective President is? It’s all so phony and gd pathetic. This is completely ASIDE from the complete BS that are in these orders

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense. Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

You just have to look at this to see what it is. And if you’re explaining this away, then you’re an asshole and probably a colossal piece of shit.

Jan 6 pardons are not some one and done thing. They are the starting pistol. Somebody will harm or try to harm an opposition figure or perceived enemy of one sort or another. They will be pardoned. It would not be surprising if the guy who attacked Paul Pelosi gets one just to make it clear.

Donald trump’s launch of his shit coin within mere days of being in office and subsequent swindling of billions of $$ is behavior of a person who knows he will face ZERO consequences. He is a king, an individual who can act with impunity. This 100% is a fact.

I was just on LBC talking to @mrjamesob.bsky.social about the Jan 6th pardons. My main concern is the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys will take it as a big thumbs up to target who they decide are the enemies of Trump with his tacit approval, knowing they can get pardoned again.

Congressional offices have been instructed to call inauguration ticket holders and inform them their Mall tickets are now “commemorative” I’m sure that’s going over super well.

So Trump launched a meme coin on Friday night, just days before becoming President, and entities he controls retain 80% of the coin. And the coin passed a $9 billion market cap in just hours. I just can't...

Holy shit I assumed this was more NFTs but it’s specifically a fungible asset meaning he’s selling his own crypto coin. On top of that, it has a crazy fucking disclaimer and all the hallmarks of a fucking rugpull. This is fucking nuts.

Maternal mortality rate in the US is 24 per 100,000 live births vs. 15.7 in China. China's average adult life expectancy is 78.2 years vs. 76.3 in the US. America's health outcomes are far below other nations while we spend more per capita (and a higher % of household income) than the world.

If he had come in to office with this as the bar and achieved any of it he would be president still but he and the democrats did nothing of the sort.

The single biggest turning point into him becoming a full-blown enthusiastic supporter of explicitly violent fascism was when a handful of us said that he was wrong to endorse colonialism a decade ago when Facebook was trying to take over the internet in India.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
