if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Anything to fit the narrative! But maybe it has to do with all the chaos and Musk forcing out the FAA director due to his feelings being hurt… or just a distraction since RFK Jr., Patel and Gabbard have hearings today 🤔

Incredibly alarming piece about three Republican justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court who seem committed to nullifying tens of thousands of lawful votes so they can steal a seat for a fellow Republican. Of course they're also gaslighting us about what they're doing. slate.com/news-and-pol...
The North Carolina Supreme Court Is Coming Dangerously Close to Stealing an Election
In this moment of crisis, the courts have become the final guardrail against the forces of authoritarianism that seek to undermine the will of the voters.

Trump while surveying hurricane recovery in NC today: "I'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA..I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems.”

He's not just stupid, he's dangerous.

As a prescriber this is very worrisome.
The FDA has scrubbed from its website guidance on conducting medical trials with representative numbers of men/women and racial/ethnic minorities. these aren't symbolic issues. Drugs affect men/men, people with different genetic backgrounds differently. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/medic...

Wonder if Fox News knows Jesus wasn’t white… Also, they may want to open the Word and read the beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount!
Fox News: The church is in trouble because it is focusing on "wokeism", you know stuff like "helping people of different race, or sexual persuasion, whatever, instead of focusing on The Word."

my sister in christ have you ever opened a bible?

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

this is just dumbly bad
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
