Just missed Halloween (reading text from 1650 can be a challenge). Rhetoric and rhetoric as cultural inheritance seems to be an issue here.

Trump is literally destroying the White House.

After promising that his absurd $250M ballroom wouldn't interfere with the existing structure, he lied and is destroying the White House.

Wealth & income inequality is at record highs in America, but glad we're spending $250M on a vanity project.

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

My take on the Trump-Kennedy press conference on autism. A few detailed comments on what they said at the very end. More detailed scientific discussion to come - the focus here was epidemiology and rhetoric:

He's right, and it's not just Brazil.

Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

Recognizing and neutralizing projection is the uniting factor we all need in American politics. It is not the only thing but it is free and most mature adults can do it.

The August jobs numbers are atrocious, with unemployment rising to its highest level in nearly 4 years.

Trump is running the economy just like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?feature=shared

RFK Jr. is perpetrating hoaxes and I don't support his continued efforts as Secretary. We need to rally around science.
September 5, 2025 at 5:18 PM
Well he already has the blade and we need to take it away from him. And don't forget only about 1/3 of the people voted for him. 1/3 stayed away from the polls. This is why democracy stops working.
