I am pleased w/the on target discussion abt who Prasad, Makary & Bhattacharya really gaining traction. @joho.bsky.social and @panaccindex.bsky.social + others have been beating this drum for a while.

Prasad's journey is the most pathetic outcome for someone with his intellect and skill.

And Vinay is smart enough to know this, but pig headed to not care. All that ranting against the prior leadership just to end up doing the same+worse abuses of power.
"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

I know Trump, Miller, Vought, RFK Jr deserve to be investigated, but this shit deserves it just as much. Dont let him the hook. Force him to live in Dubai.
Oh look. Jared Kushner is back for more lucrative grifting after snagging at least $2 billion from friendly murderous Saudi leadership via corrupt Trump 1.0 in his role as Middle East Peace man— this time as Ukraine Peace man via bestest friend and long time Trump benefactor Uncle Vlad.
Reuters has confirmed that President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy Steve Witkoff held a private meeting in Miami with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy to help shape the new "peace plan" for Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

If the Dems had any fuckin’ brains, saying “the part of Epstein is trying to make laws that let them look in your kid’s pants” would be a pretty easy way to crush the Republicans
it’s also a thing where people can be convinced. the right got some people worked up about trans women in sports but possible to get people a lot more worked up about individual/parental rights, genital inspectors, etc
I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

I love how Orange Archie Bunker thinks the inflation rate is a price level. He doesn't realize he's promising outright deflation. Drooling morons think prices are going back to 2019 levels.

All of DOGE, and anyone who works for Russ Vought needs to be fully investigated. (Miller and Homan are in a different category)

#billcassidy is the worst of the cowards of this era. he could have stopped the RFK Jr nomination and he didn’t. he still refuses to lift a finger to save lives. what an odious little man.
He betrayed his oath as a doctor and voluntarily supported a man whose insane policies will kill children, all for the sake of power, MAGA, and politics.

I hope he is shamed for life.

I bet fliers would be in a better mood if the Trump administration didn’t just rip away rules that make airlines compensate people for canceled and delayed flights.

This makes my blood boil hotter than the Planck temperature. After a lifetime of diligent work and saving and this is what you get. Stress, anxiety, discrimination, uncertainty.
I'm one of them. I'm 61 and have about $500,000 in retirement savings. Is it enough to retire on? I'm about to find out since I was laid off (thanks, DOGE) in April and the job market is abysmal. Ageism is real.

No idea if this is going to work. We live modestly, with a 14 year old car.
