It's no wonder why Trump's administration and the Republican Party is increasingly refusing to release state department information.

A convicted felon president is selling guns.

As if there isn't enough polarization and violence in this country

This greedy, hedonistic conman will profit from gun sales

When is this obscenity going to end?

Kimberly Prather PhD @kprather.bsky.social · 4d

Today was an emotionally challenging one for me. Had to first say goodbye to my 26 yr old son as he headed back to Europe. Then graduate my wonderful grad student Chris Frobenius (also 26) who completed a masterful Masters. When your academic and real life kids start crossing over…Time to think.

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.

And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

The first paragraph should make this clear...first line.

The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

Trump pulls his endorsement of Marge Greene, says he is done with her for good, says she’s “a raving lunatic”, and he’s going to endorse someone to run against her. The Epstein Meltdown continues.
