Spoke with someone who works with a public hospital system. His assessment of the effects of the GOP spending bill: “I think this is going to be a very apparent catastrophe, very quickly.”

It’s bad because of all the collateral damage (us) but also good because we have so little to enjoy in American politics

When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.

BREAKING: The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing milk and other dairy products.
The agency is citing reduced capacity. It has 20,000 fewer employees as a result of the DOGE cuts under Trump and Musk.

The moral of the story is this: do not experiment on yourself by snorting airborne viruses into your brain. Stay in the control group.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far
- Your health is an asset of the fatherland
- Illness is a failure or a moral failing
- You have a duty to maintain your health
- Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource
- Die for the fatherland
- Your health is an asset of the fatherland
- Illness is a failure or a moral failing
- You have a duty to maintain your health
- Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource
- Die for the fatherland
Now it's your fault if you get sick?
Dr. Oz: 'It's your patriotic duty to take care of yourself. Healthy people don't consume healthcare resources.'

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Even though the market rises because of the tariffs pause, the cost associated with the rest of the world realizing they can’t count on us not to be nuts will be immeasurable and far-reaching. 🇺🇸

This past week, the Chinese learned
1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;
2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;
and
3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.
Highly useful information.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
