If you follow me, I'll probably follow you back, assuming you have posted anything interesting. This does not mean you need to DM me unless we already know each other IRL.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.
Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.
He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.
Don’t turn away.

Even though I'm retired, i like to preserve some of the sense that Friday is special, the beginning of a weekend that is different from the weekdays. Usually, I like to indulge myself a little. So today, I ate a couple of fried eggs.

If the US can arrest a man and send him to El Salvador in the dead of night, surely they can get him back in a few weeks. There is no principle here as far as El Salvador is concerned - they are imprisoning men for us in exchange for money. Surely all we need is more money to get this man home.

"The part of that, DOGE -- we talked about this from the beginning -- is we're going to do 80% cuts but 20% of those are going to have to be reinstalled because we'll make mistakes," Kennedy said.

As an employee of a life insurance company, I was prohibited from discussing any individual cases via personal telephone or email. I was once pressured to discipline an employee who had emailed herself an outline of a training curriculum, which didn't even contain client information.

this is a golden age for walking out of your lab with a USB key in your pocket getting on a plane and going to Luxembourg
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.

Watched a lot of SNL today. 50 years ago was when my adult life was just beginning and SNL for better or worse runs parallel to my own.
I think they were right to avoid getting caught up in too much "in memorium" stuff, but I was disappointed to hear not a single mention of the late Jan Hooks.

What's the deal with McConnell? Is he trying to repent before he meets his maker? I hope so - nobody did more to create this monster than Sen. Franfenstein.

I just realized what Trump's end game is - the US, Russia and China. Three superpowers controlling the rest of the world.
I suddenly have no doubt this is why he talks about taking over Greenland, Canada, Panama and even Gaza. He thinks soon they will choose us over Russia and China anyway.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.
You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
