BREAKING: #Trump promises many drugs will soon not only cost $00.00, but come with cash rebates of up to 1400% of the current price!!
Talk about deals!
The sicker you are, the more drugs you take, the richer you get!

Legacy math is just fake math!

#Trump promises to lower drug prices by as much as 1400% (up from 1300% yesterday).
So just wondering, if the current price of a drug is $100, and #TRUMP lowers it by 1400%, does that mean the new price of $0.00 includes a bonus $1300 gift card?
Math realists need to know...

Wondering if the rules for a #Trump trade war are the same as for TEGWAR (The Exciting Game Without Any Rules). So far, the answer seems to be a strong yes.

Things I never would have believed I would someday believe: I would happily trade Trump if we could only have Richard Nixon to kick around some more.

For mobsters #Trump, #Musk, & #MAGA, DEI is the center of their strategy. They've just redefined it.
It's all about using Destruction, Extortion, & Intimidation to multiply and leverage their power over every possible source of restraint or resistance, large or small, in or out of government.

#DOGE is dismantling the airplane -- not building it -- while they're still learning how to fly it. What are the odds that gravity will sooner or later impede their work?
If only DOGE had access to some engineering intelligence and experience...

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Not to mention the rest of their children's lives, however shortened they may be.
Enough footsie-playing. Dems should loudly say GOP senators who support the dangerous, wildly unqualified RFK for HHS sec will own the awful consequences of his tenure for the rest of their political lives.

What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

Can the second apostrophe (top page 39, May 20 NYer) possibly be correct?
"Seven hours into Letby's shift, one of the triplet's oxygen levels dropped precipitously, and he developed a rash..."
Presumably referring to one of the triplets, not one of the O levels...

I had to listen to this clip to believe it. I thought Chris Sununu seemed to be a smart guy. What would possess someone to display such a naked lack of integrity and bravery on national television? (Also it's a lie. Trump has never won the support of 51% of America. Not once.)

So if Colorado loses 9-0, but then later this summer Trump is found guilty of taking part in the D.C. insurrection case, would that create a new set of facts in which Section 3 becomes applicable?
