I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

A few other notable Dr. Seuss political cartoons:
Cartoon: Two men stand on a platform with an intertwined beard. One says "America First" and the other wears a swastika. A circus manager announces to the crowd:

Caption: And on this platform, folks, those most perplexing people... The Lads with the Siamese Beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds in the land! Cartoon: a woman with an "America First" sweater reads to two children from a book entitled "Adolf the Wolf"

Caption: and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones... But those were FOREIGN CHILDREN and it really didn't matter. Cartoon: A man with a "Profiteer" emblazoned coat sells umbrellas during a flood to people taking refuge on rooftops. A swastika can be seen in the torrential rain.

Caption: Beware the man who makes a fortune in a flood!

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

"People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene."

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

It is happening again and no one is looking. How can all our 2025 federal cases be ignored? I did not commit a crime. My federal charges are ridiculous!

Republican Senators have confirmed the corrupt incompetent boobs Tr*mp nominated. Republicans in Congress have handed over their Constitutional duty and their power to Tr*mp. Republicans fail to do their jobs and impeach.

Every awful thing Tr*mp's does is bc the GOP in Congress allows it.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

There are now one or two of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every single day.

According to Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, that figure is only going to keep climbing.

The federal government has been silencing "left wing" influencers at PDX ICE and bumping up right wing influencers, like a surge.

Right or left we are a bunch of nobodies gathering at ICE. On the right, they are on the roof and the left, we are in jail or hospital or recovering.

There is nothing Republican leaders are doing that even suggests they are serious about ending the shutdown or preventing your health care costs from skyrocketing—House Republicans aren't even here!

The most important data in the world comes from NASA satellites.

Here I plotted both hemispheres.

It shows that the Northern Hemisphere now absorbs more sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere and that both Hemispheres absorb more light than they radiate heat to space, leading to faster warming.

How's the climate doing?

The oceans are boiling.
The poles are melting.
The records are burning.
And the silence is deafening.
