I'm watching MAGA lose their mind as the active shooting I Idaho unfolds. They're claiming false flag, Iranian sleeper cells, immigrants, and Democrats simultaneously. Delulu.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I absolutely feel safer in Louisville & Minneapolis after the Trump administration just canceled the consent decrees. They weren't totally effective, but at least the police brass cared during them. Guess we're all open season now.

Does anyone else think the GOP will tell Trump what he wants to hear about Medicaid only to do what they've been planning to do all along- gut it?

Trump wants Tax Cuts, but don't touch medicaid,, wants Walmart to eat the tariffs but is telling all his sycophants China pays the tariffs. Am I the only one with whiplash?

So we're sending private military assets under the guise of humanitarian aid to Gaza. End times preacher turned our Israeli Ambassador thinks it's a great idea. Of course. I'm sure Eric Prince and Blackwater are celebrating another multi million contract.

How f..ing embarrassing! Trump accepts "gift" of an AIRPLANE from Qater for use as AIRFORCE ONE until the new ones made here are ready! The Pentagon will spend millions to half ass retrofit it. Waste, Fraud, Abuse, Corruption...ANYONE?
When, IF he leaves office, he's going to keep using it.

@kylekulinskishow.bsky.social A US born immigration lawyer in Boston received an "accidental" notice to self deport. A real estate lawyer ( a naturalized US citizen) was detained by ICE. ICE searched his phone until he called his immigration lawyer and sister. Message isn't even subtle.

I'm old now. I was raised in hardship, but my Veteran father made me so proud of him. I was a proud American. My life wasn't easy, especially living through the 70's stagnation, the high unemployment in the late 80s and the 2008 crash. I remained proud & hopeful. Now I'm not. The rot is too deep.

I can't. I just can't. MTG is boosting a flat earther - suggesting we should hold measles and chicken pox parties to increase the immune system of unvaccinated children by exposing them to other children with active illness. That's child abuse Marge.

The writing was on the wall for NOAA a few weeks ago when the agency was prohibited from communication with its Canadian counterparts. The cuts this week will impact the timeliness of warnings, flight safety and prepositioning assets to areas of highest risk.

4th Pretend H5N1 isn't an emerging threat to humans and all mammals.

Interesting article in Canadian media reporting that the NOAA must ask permission to interact with their Canadian counterparts. This could impact flight safety & accurate storm predictions. The weather doesn't recognize a border.

CDC website is a mess, like they're either trying to "accidently" post or intentionally scrambling the website. Heading about H5N1 then subheading about mental health for Covid19 health care workers, a very concerning article about human H5N1 infections in vets to linked pdf about Monkey Pox. WTF ?

"the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees who had served for less than two years. That included researchers working on cancer treatment, opioid addiction, prosthetics and burn pit exposure, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, said Thursday."

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Louisiana’s top health official said in an internal memo to the state’s Health Department that it would no longer use media campaigns or health fairs to promote vaccination against preventable illnesses.
Louisiana Health Department Says It Will Stop Promoting ‘Mass Vaccination’
“Vaccines should be treated with nuance, recognizing differences between seasonal vaccines and childhood immunizations,” Dr. Ralph L. Abraham, the state’s surgeon general, wrote in a memo.

Shout-out to Jurgen Richt Director NIH Centers for Emerging & Zoonotic Diseases for being brave enough to talk to the media (Fortune) about the D1. 1 variant of H5N1 in Nevada. With the administration muzzling & defunding, his actions are brave. True public service.

Elon's calling our system of checks and balances a "judicial coup". Now he's specifically calling out on Twitter the lawyers representing opposition positions. He's just labeling everyone arguing against his actions as "corrupt". Scotastic terrorism is a real thing. That's why he's doing it.
