The fact that the American president’s former best friend is helping Russia blackmail the president should be a far bigger story than it is.

It should be on the front page of every major news outlet

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year.

Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

We cannot trust anything coming out of this FBI or DOJ.

They are supposed to work for us.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

I’ve used the word “fascism” reluctantly. I will not be so reluctant after the fascist in the White House announced his military takeover of Washington, DC.

Washington, DC has about 35% less violent crime and 25% less property crime than St. Louis, MO.

Why is Trump deploying the National Guard to DC instead of St. Louis? 🧐

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Per source, they also fired 18 contractors this week just from the flu division who work on data and communications, 4 from the comms team.
This is also the primary division handling bird flu.

Elon Musk isn’t autistic—he’s a sociopathic tech bro with a God complex, a bank account so deep it probably has its own gravity. The man speedruns midlife crises while cosplaying as Tony Stark, except instead of saving the world, he just shitposts and union-busts.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him
