Only a mentally ill person would think they can be a draft dodger, consistently insult veterans, active duty military, and dead heroes, and think they deserve to have a military parade in their own honor… Just sick!

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

Dept of State has sent hundreds of international students an email telling them their visas have been revoked and asking them to leave the country. The email did not just go to students who physically participated in campus activism but also those who shared or liked “anti-national” posts.

My youngest rescue pup turned 11 yesterday and this sweet woman at the dog store insisted he needed his name on his pup cake. She leaves this week to see her daughter whom she hadn’t seen in six years and all I keep doing is obsessing she won’t be allowed back in to our country. 🥺

Measles cases in Texas and New Mexico now number over 250, with two deaths being linked to the outbreak. (For comparison, the US had 285 cases of measles in all of 2024). Measles isn't just a rash. For @wired.com, I wrote about why the disease can be so deadly: www.wired.com/story/this-i...

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

The Trump Administration has made a big deal about the emergency waivers it created for "lifesaving" aid work. But these waivers are not working as intended. Even the most critical work—Ebola outbreak containment, treating babies with AIDS—is halted. My latest: www.wired.com/story/the-us...
