Agreed, and I'm tired of all the both-sidesism think pieces about how the left and right, are equally guilty of 'division'. Would these same people have said this about the Nazis & the anti fascists during WWII?

Once again, the move fast and break things strategy backfires as the regime has to reverse a number of layoffs.

They’re testing us.

They make horribly bad and dangerous decisions and wait to see how much public outcry there is.

If it’s a lot, they change course.

It’s exhausting.

BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story.
www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

More than 1,000 CDC staff receive layoff notices during government shutdown

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

Standing up to fascism is always the right choice.

Rejecting censorship is always the right choice.

Fighting for marginalized and vulnerable communities is always the right choice.

I'm really curious how they got those 10 months of lows. Did certain events that usually happen mid year not happen this year to spread it?

Was that a bad study? I'd think that more vaccines = less hospitalization costs

I'm afraid states are going to have to go to war in some way with the Feds to protect their citizens whether it's withholding taxes or something else

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.

Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 13d

Trump said he would cut drug costs “by 1500%.”

Really?

Since he took office, 688 prescription drugs have become MORE expensive.

The legislation I wrote is simple: the U.S. must not pay more for prescription drugs than other countries.

Let’s pass it.
