PSA - health insurance should NOT be tied to a person’s job. It forces workers to stay far too long in toxic work environments if they happen to also need medical care.

How is it not insider trading when a president and his goons crash the stock market intentionally and then reverse course to make it skyrocket? How much did they buy while it was down? 😵💫🤔
Seems sus.

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks?

Every time a career lawyer is pushed out, you can assume they were told to do something illegal.
BREAKING — FEMA Acting Chief Counsel Joshua Stanton has been put on administrative leave & walked out of the building after being given the role *just last week*, an agency source tells me.
Previous chief counsel Adrian Sevier had been with FEMA since 2000 and was office's longest-serving chief.

I'm not sure how to explain how financially devastating this will be for universities. This is, literally, catastrophic for universities and for science in the United States.
⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.
—> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you.
Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

Today’s positive mental health strategy - play video games and share anti-nazi sentiment with everyone in my games. So far 85% have responded with strong agreement… 15% get mad and throw the game. This tells me a majority of league players are not nazi sympathizers. Good stuff.

I understand the desire not to panic. And Trump will not be able to do everything he’s trying to do. But it’s not 2016. It’s clear they’re far more capable this time. The only way to prevent things is to take very seriously that he absolutely could succeed.

It's pretty laughable now to think that creating term limits on the SC and abolishing the filibuster are extremely minor and not at all illegal, and Democrats were too scared to it. And here we are.

Our elected officials should NOT be treating this like the old adage for parenting of “pick your battles.”
Trump and Musk are literally illegally dismantling the American government and compromising personal for data and safety for millions at every step. They are criminals.
