I'm a maker of things, tea drinker, gardener, foodie, lover of animals, and as liberal/progressive as they come. Equality, empathy and kindness always - or what are humans even doing here. Focused on the big picture and progress, not the noise.

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Absurd. The bailout exists to ameliorate the negative impact of the tariffs.
Trump on his farm bailout: "This money would not be possible without tariffs ... because of tariffs, this is possible."

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

Blanche just straight up telling people this isn’t a justice department anymore
This is, straightforwardly, the threat of disparate treatment to stifle dissent. The DOJ's Deputy Attorney General is telling lawyers critical of administration policies that their clients will be singled out for harsher treatment.

Trump's waffle compartment with nothing in it is 99.999% of the total mass of the waffle.
Mike Johnson’s entire worldview is a time machine back to the 1950s and somehow his wife hit the gas pedal. This is what happens when MAGA convinces itself that misogyny is a family value.
