Totally agree

This country and our democracy is being constantly stalked by the extreme right - this will be the age of christo-fascists disguised as visionaries

Voters will have to be ultra-savvy in their choices or risk - like America - losing our democracy

We need astute independent media

Next time someone claims that right-wing politics is motivated by "protecting children," remind them of that time right-wing ICE kidnapped a man at a gas station and left his children alone in his truck. #AmericanGestapo

“The man was taken by ICE agents and his children were left behind…inside the truck”
An extract of the story on SFGATE which reads: Conches said that a man pulled up to the gas station at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Sunday to fill up his truck. Several cars, including a Ford Explorer and Toyota Tacoma, then surrounded the man. "There were at least six cars. There were a lot of cars," Conches recalled in a video posted by 805 UndocuFund on Instagram. The man was taken by ICE agents, and his children were left behind. "They arrested someone," Conches said. "They left the children inside the truck."

Boyle cites CBO numbers: "For people in the bottom 1%, they will experience a 4% loss household wealth. Meanwhile, for people in the top 10%, they will see their household resources increase by 2%. It is as simple as that."

Sure whatever. 25% tariff on eating ice cream on a hot day next. 50% tariff on petting a dog. 35% tariff on the sound of children laughing. 10% tariff on the smell of flowers. 15% tariff on the cold side of the pillow. And another 25% on China, why not.

In issuing a permanent injunction halting the enforcement of Trump’s EO targeting the law firm Perkins Coie, Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the order singled out Perkins Coie based on the content of its speech and actions, relying on the text of Trump’s order.

A judge used Trump’s own words to expose his real agenda
The president and those around him just had to brag — and Howell turned their own words against them.

FDA’s director for the center for biological evaluation and research:

“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Peter Marks’s resignation letter. Everyone should read this.
Peter Marks, MD, PhD Director, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research U.S. Food and Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20903 March 28, 2025 Sara Brenner, MD, MPH Acting Commissioner of Food and Drugs U.S. Food and Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20903 Dear Dr. Brenner: It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to resign from FDA and retire from federal service as Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research effective April 5, 2025. I leave behind a staff of professionals who are undoubtedly the most devoted to protecting and promoting the public health of any group of people that I have encountered during my four decades working in the public and private sectors. I have always done my best to advocate for their well-being and I would ask that you do the same during this very difficult time during which their critical importance to the safety and security of our nation may be underappreciated. Over the past years I have been involved in enhancing the safety of our nation's blood supply, in advancing the field of cell and gene therapy, and in responding to public health emergencies. In the last of these, during the COVID-19 pandemic I had the privilege of watching the vision that I conceived for Operation Warp Speed in March 2020 in collaboration with Dr. Robert Kadlec become a reality under the leadership of HHS Secretary Azar and President Trump due to the unwavering commitment of public servants at FDA and elsewhere across the government. At FDA, the tireless efforts of staff across the agency resulted in remarkably expediting the development of vaccines against the virus, meeting the standards for quality, safety, and effectiveness expected by the American public. The vaccines undoubtedly markedly reduced morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 in the United States and elsewhere. Many of these same individuals applied learnings from the pandemic during a flawless response helping… ongoing multistate measles outbreak that is particularly severe in Texas reminds us of what happens when confidence in well-established science underlying public health and well-being is undermined. Measles, which killed more than 100,000 unvaccinated children last year in Africa and Asia owing to pneumonitis and encephalitis caused by the virus, had been eliminated from our shores. The two-dose measles, mumps, rubella vaccine regimen (MMR) using over the past decades has a remarkably favorable benefit-risk profile. The MMR vaccine is 97% or more effective in preventing measles following the two-dose series, and its safety has been remarkably well studied. Though rarely followed by a single fever-related seizure, or very rarely by allergic reactions or blood clotting disorders, the vaccine very simply does not cause autism, nor is it associated with encephalitis or death. It does, however, protect against a potential devasting consequence of prior measles infection, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which is an untreatable, relentlessly progressive neurologic disorder leading to death in about 1 in 10,000 individuals infected with measles. Undermining confidence in well-established vaccines that have met the high standards for quality, safety, and effectiveness that have been in place for decades at FDA is irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation's health, safety. and security. In the years following the pandemic, at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research we have applied the same unwavering commitment to public health priorities to the development of cell and gene therapies to address both hereditary and acquired rare diseases. During my tenure as Center Director we have approved 22 gene therapies, including the first gene therapy ever to be approved in the United States. However, we know that we must do better to expedite the development of treatments for those individual suffering from any one of the thousan…

@elonmusk: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.
