The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.”

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!
Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

@gtconway.bsky.social I thought you were great on On with @karaswisher.bsky.social. Normally I appreciate @preetbharara.bsky.social ‘s level-headed even-keeled approach but I found myself nodding vigorously along with you. Not an American, but a very very concerned neighbour.

Deeply ironic that Trump and Co. have such a hate-on for the FBI when he was the direct beneficiary of James Comey’s election interference.

It should be noted that Sen. Kim, while in the House, literally got down on his hands and knees to clean up the mess the January 6 traitors left in the Capitol.
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Well, well. If it isn't Jennie Byrne, Pierre Poilievre's right-hand woman and chief strategist. I'd tag them but they'd rather hang out in Muskworld, which is par for the course. If the Grits were smart they'd ensure this picture is *everywhere*.

So when can we expect the Enabling Act to get introduced in Congress?

Deeply deeply disappointed with @profgalloway.com and @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for blithely saying they are “OK” with Trump declaring the border a “national emergency”. You realize he is doing this so he can weaponize the military and federalize national guards for deportations, right? 1/2

Reminder: when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he's not anti-vaccine, he's lying.
@brandyzadrozny.bsky.social from @nbcnews.com shows what he really thinks, in his own words.
www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
RFK Jr. attacked the CDC’s ‘fascism’ and likened vaccinating children to abuse by the Catholic Church
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, also argued for jailing vaccine scientists in previously unreported comments at autism conferences.

I used to think that one of the best features of the political right was its enthusiasm for medical progress and its contempt for shamanistic bullshit.

the problem with tackling "wasteful government bureaucracy" is it's like deleting files from your computer called hostserver.dll that look useless and take up a lot of space and then your computer stops working
