The Signal story is really the perfect example of how Trump's litany of abuses have completely warped media coverage and the standard he is held to. It's being covered, but on the Trump curve, it's just another scandal, as opposed to a major national security threat that should lead to resignations.

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days.
Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House.
It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

It took since 1887 to build up the greatest biomedical research apparatus in the world. It’ll take a few ignorant dickheads a few months to tear its heart out.
Per a source (and similar post on Reddit, fwiw), NIH RIF plan may centralize and cut the number of institutes and centers by around half.

Reagan is a prime example of why saying "it's only 4/8 years" is bullshit. Reagan has been f*cking the country for over 40 years & from beyond the grave.
once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!
