There’s a special kind of heartbreak in happening across a multi-part book series only to discover—at the end of reading the 7th book—that it’s unfinished and the author has been MIA for years #Booksky

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context.

There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Uncuring cancer to own the libs.

How else do you possibly explain this?
Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.

It does not matter at all what Mahmoud Khalil has said. The government does not get to black bag a legal permanent resident for their speech. We have a 1st Amendment right to free speech that forbids the government from punishing people for it. That's a solid red line that should never be crossed.

President Trump and Republicans want to eliminate the Department of Education, cut funding for public education, and sell out Wisconsin’s kids and our schools—all so they can help pay for tax breaks to rich millionaires and billionaires.

Stand with Ukraine & Democracy: Condemn the Disgraceful Treatment of Zelensky
Text SIGN PMVLOV to 50409 — After witnessing today’s disgraceful events in the Oval Office, I am left with a profound sense of sorrow and outrage. I have never felt more ashamed of the individuals occupying the highest offices in our nation. What transpired was not leadership—it was a shameful display of arrogance, ignorance, and cruelty. President Zelenskyy, a leader who has courageously defended democracy in the face of Russia’s brutal war, was mocked and belittled by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. Their taunting—asking if he “even owns a suit”—was not just a childish insult; it was a calculated act of disrespect. What followed was even more appalling: a shouting match filled with falsehoods and an egregious demand for tribute to Trump, an extortion attempt masquerading as diplomacy. Under this administration, the United States has abandoned its allies, shredded decades of global leadership, and betrayed those who depend on our support. Today, our country shamefully aligned itself with Putin’s regime, voting alongside Russia, North Korea, and Belarus at the United Nations—an appalling abdication of moral responsibility. This is not just a policy failure; it is a collapse of American values. It is the transformation of our nation into a pawn of Russian influence, sacrificing our sovereignty, our principles, and our global standing at the altar of Trump’s corruption and cowardice. This cannot stand. I urge you and your colleagues—on both sides of the aisle—to issue a forceful, bipartisan condemnation of Trump and Vance’s despicable actions. Silence is complicity. I specifically call on the entire Congress to take a stand. Stand for America. Stand for democracy. Stand for the free world. The choice is clear: Will you defend the United States, or will you enable Trump’s disgraceful subservience to Putin? History is watching. So are the American people. I implore you to act.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.

It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.

If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

Putin.

🖋️ “Hell no to the Save Act. It's voter suppression. Do NOT disenfranchise us” hit 250 signers!
Hell no to the Save Act. It's voter suppression. Do NOT disenfranchise us
Text SIGN PORUHP to 50409 — Clear Vote NO on the Save Act. It will disenfranchise millions. Read what the non- partisan Voter Participation Center writes: "Anti-voting rights politicians introduced the SAVE Act into Congress. The SAVE Act would require every voter to provide proof of citizenship - a passport or birth certificate. A Real ID, Drivers License, Tribal Identification, and Military ID all are insufficient. Experts estimate this law could disenfranchise the 140 million Americans without a passport. Additionally, 69 million Americans’ birth certificates don't match their legal name since they took their spouse’s name after marriage." It will also exclude overseas Americans, turning them into taxpayers without representation. This is voter suppression. Please consider that if you vote for this, you will be disenfranchising thousands of your constituents. Please honor John Lewis's birthday (February 21st) by condemning this nasty bill. You should be working to protect our access to the ballot box and make it easier not harder for Americans to vote. You well know that actual voter fraud is vanishingly rare but voter suppression is a constant menace. Remember your oath to the constitution. Please reply in writing to assure me that you take your duty to the constitution seriously and that you will serve your constituents by protecting our access to the ballot.

If an insurance company is going to deny your healthcare claim, they should have a darn good reason for it.

Under my plan, if an insurance company is denying Wisconsinites’ claims too often, we’re going to audit them. Pretty simple.
