Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Salary and hiring freezes. Researchers leaving in droves. The loss of progress, unfinished studies, and institutional knowledge is devastating. That cancer cure you’re praying for just got pushed out.
The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:
1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.
It’s time more people understood this.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

Amazing interview of Sam Donaldson by @oliverdarcy.bsky.social about the state of the press today. But this quote was key. Both in its stark warning AND the whats-his-name slight, plus calling it “old Facebook.”
![Question: We've seen a lot of instances where media owners — whether the ultra wealthy or corporate type — soften coverage of Trump. What do you make of that?
Answer: They folded. They're very powerful. Those gentlemen that you saw during the inaugural ... Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and the man who runs the old Facebook. They were there because they believe that they would profit from the administration. What they're going to find, just like the industrialists in Germany in the 30s who supported you know who found, [is that] their support was for someone who will turn on them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ze455bqcr7hfialulpha7jqa/bafkreihyy5rdadgqcuxm2kldyqlm7qckqdy4ezjhjktfy6h36q7xfwoap4@jpeg)

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.
They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.
What insanity and cruelty to break that.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something:
Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain."
And just stand there.
This is how many of you are coming across.

Democracy doesn’t mean whoever wins a slight plurality in the national vote gets to rewrite every American institution to satisfy their own whims. The president is not an elected king. If we let him become one, the project of American democracy is over.
