There are many reasons to be concerned about a mediocre white man who used heroin to treat his ADHD and his family name to avoid consequences for his actions, but this assault on antidepressants — based on misinformation and shoddy science — should certainly be on the list.

Fuck this guy.
RFK Jr. is already taking aim at antidepressants
The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

NEW: DOGE is behind the abrupt cancellation of $900 million in contracts overseen by the Institute of Education Sciences, a Department of Education division responsible for much of what we know about the state of U.S. schools.

DOGE came for the research and statistics arm of the U.S. Department of Education today, declared "fraud" and "waste" and abruptly terminated about $900M in contracts. A lot of what we know about America's schools comes from the data this agency collects. New reporting with @jodiscohen.bsky.social

Did hell freeze over and nobody told me? Fuckface Von Clownstick actually did something good; moving to end the production of pennies.

(It would take an act of congress to completely end it, but still)

Getting rid of the penny introduces a new problem: nickels | CNN Business
President Donald Trump says he has ordered the US Mint to stop making pennies, which he correctly says cost more than one cent to produce.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

In the Soviet Union there were "deficits" of consumer goods. The propaganda from the regime was always about the glorious future the communists were trying to build and how people should ignore their material shortages in the present.

Didn't think I'd see it from a Republican admin and media.
Fox News hosts suggest that we don't need coffee from Colombia because "we make our own in Hawaii" and Trump can just have all these other countries produce the coffee here in the states, adding that "we can clearly make our own."

"He's trying to make that happen."

Even though people defended Musk's "My heart goes out to you" as an alibi against his salute being a Sieg Heil, it's quickly becoming a catchphrase amongst the online far-right to indicate the exact opposite.

NEW from Louis Keene and me (join Bluesky, Louis lol):
Following Musk’s lead, ‘My heart goes out to you’ takes off as far-right catchphrase
'My heart goes out to you,’ the phrase Elon Musk said after his controversial hand gesture, now appears on Trump merch and in TikTok videos.

This development bears close scrutiny

Republicans have a 219-215 edge in the House

But they will lose 2 members to the Trump administration

So it’ll be 217-215

If Mike Turner flips parties-or just wants to make the GOP pay

That makes it 216-216

And Republicans won’t be able to pass ANYTHING
Raskin on Mike Turner getting ousted: "The autocrats in Mar-a-Lago don't want him. The autocrats in Moscow don't want him ... he's extremely popular with Democrats and who knows what's gonna happen at this point."

The reality is that Salesmanship is the differentiation between the two parties.

The Dems couldn't sell dollar bills for 50c

Trump has found his audience and can sell them dollar bills for $5

When everything is a story the algorithm flashes at you as you scroll, you better be selling fast
It is truly about who tells a better story — or really a story people want to hear and makes them see what they believe rather than believe what they see.
More jobs have been created under Biden than during the full terms of Trump, Obama, or Bush 43. @danprimack.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...
