Plenty of people are dunking on Trump for his claim that "No one knows what magnets are."
Yes, it's very concerning he isn't aware that people can know things that he doesn't.
But I'm even more concerned about how utterly incoherent he has become.

PSA: Most people who present to the ER with syncope do not need an echocardiogram.
In a patient w/o symptoms or signs of AS or HCM, an echo has a trivially low probability (< 0.2%) of identifying the etiology of syncope.
Please stop ordering them!

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment.
The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.

This one is pretty shocking, even if you're done being shocked:
ICE arrested a guy during a raid outside a Home Depot. After putting him in one car, they drove off in his w/ his toddler in the back (a violation of policy; they need to call a SW). The punchline:

Maybe the film addresses this, but Musk didn’t kill these people on his own. People in the administration empowered him, Trump most of all. And some 20 year old DOGE bros aided in this as well. These ~400,000 dead children are also on all of them, and the world should not let them forget it.
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

No disrespect to my home county of Bucks, but the SF Bay Area is clearly the “epicenter” of MAHA - if any place could claim that unenviable title.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?
great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

I haven't seen any news stories about this until it showed up on Reddit tonight.
This photo was reportedly taken in the Oval Office on Oct 21. Person holding the folder is James Blair, Trump's deputy chief of staff.
Paper on top appears to be a plan for regime change in Columbia.

I don't believe research claiming horrific ill health effects by switching on and off to daylight savings time.
Most adults shift their sleep-wake cycle by 1-2 hrs for 2 days every week without a 2nd thought. No one ever discusses the catastrophe of staying up late Fri night or sleeping in Sat AM.
