Maybe it’s time to leave Florida and find a state that understands public health and science, values child safety, and doesn’t make it so hard to practice medicine.
This is absolutely ridiculous! This will degrade herd immunity. If your kid has cancer, is immunocompromised, is allergic to any vaccines, or if you have a kid at home that is too young and hasn’t completed the complete series yet, then this puts your kid at risk!!
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Record heat now outnumbers record cold by more than 3 to 1 in the US. In a normal climate, they’d be equal. After billions of years of natural hot & cold cycles, human forcing has now overtaken nature as the longterm driving force of our present & future climate.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
I’d quit too if I had to work with RFK jr.
ICE going to elementary schools to terrorize children. School shooters murdering children. RFK Jr making our kids sicker. No one is working to protect children. So one do something! @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social
When we cannot agree enough to save children’s lives then we are a failed state.
Kids at school keep getting murdered! The politicians have done nothing to stop or prevent this! Be angry!! We need change!
We allow anyone to have a gun and we don’t protect our children. This makes us a failed state.
More children die and they will do nothing to stop it again.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank
The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/who-really...
When you take people with little to no experience and give them weapons and authority to terrorize people, you will end up with a blood bath. Police should feel insulted that they are willing to hire anyone. Standards have dropped so slow. Mistakes will happen, and violence will worsen.
Documents with sensitive details about the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Putin were left behind on a public hotel printer.
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
'The world is behaving irrationally' - Putin's warm welcome in Alaska gets cold reaction in Ukraine
Donald Trump hints that the deployment of National Guard troops to the country’s capital could be a blueprint for other troublesome (ie, Democratic-run) places. That will be easier said than done, however
In an early trial, a one-size-fits-all vaccine shows promise in preventing hard-to-treat pancreatic cancers from coming back.

At what point do we in America come to the hard truth that we are too different, and agree to separate into multiple countries? If Texas hates California and California hates Texas, maybe it’s time to go our separate ways. Preferably before a violent civil war.
My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.
A new breakthrough suggests that lithium could play a role in both causing and treating Alzheimer’s disease. However, this research is among the thousands of projects that lost funding due to President Trump’s cuts to the NIH.
@democrats.org We Democrats want universal healthcare, universal childcare, and universal education. Stop waiting for the federal government, do it at the state level! What are you waiting for?? @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social @kathyhochul.bsky.social
All these illegal immigrants are being detained at work. But you don’t see one business owner or CEO in trouble for hiring them illegally in the first place. And if you think that they “didn’t know” you are lying to yourself. If ICE knows then the business already knows.
The amount of damage Trump and ICE is doing to the reputation of police and law enforcement as a whole is apocalyptic. Local police and FBI already had a hard time doing their jobs due to general mistrust of police. Now it’s going to be impossible.
Noticing a pattern here.
Trump’s firing of the top Bureau of Labor Statistics official is rattling Wall Street’s reliance on data, as some fear a decline in the world-leading economic statistics underpinning U.S. markets.
This is why its so important to have peer review and publish in trusted journals. Integrity matters. #science
NEW: Trump’s Mar-a-Lago spa was a predator’s playground. Mar-a-Lago sought "young, attractive" college students to wear mini-skirts and "skin-tight" tops. Epstein noticed—and so did Ghislaine Maxwell.
This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.

Oops: On Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Rogan called it “amazing” that it took until 2016 for foreign election influence to become a major issue in the U.S.
Some NASA employees fear changes rippling through the agency will undermine safety during human space missions, putting that concern in a new letter to the agency’s acting leader.
A pilot flying a Delta Air Lines regional jet on Friday apologized to his passengers after making a hard turn to avoid colliding with a US Air Force B-52 bomber, audio from the incident shows.
ICYMI last week, I reported that the Trump administration was planning to stack NIH key grant review panels with scientists who are in line with its priorities. Read more below. bsky.app/profile/maxk...
Let’s talk about this memo. Right-wing influencers want you to think this is some smoking gun that proves a vast conspiracy surrounding the 2016 election. In reality, it’s business as usual for a counterintelligence investigation.
The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you. Time to rise up.
No one will be fooled by this. People are asking for the release of the evidence from the Epstein investigation. The grand jury transcripts are something else entirely and would exclude almost all evidence.
When you’re definitely not guilty.
America is a now a police state.
Because of the Tariffs our 5 year olds shoes went from $55 at christmas to $85 now for the same shoe! Killing the middle class.
Everyone is acting like US scientists will just go get science jobs elsewhere and sure some will but there are not anywhere close to enough science jobs elsewhere. The end result of this will be much, much, much less science, not science happening in different places.
Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park. It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone. Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.
Trump’s harassment of California will only be tolerated for so long before the fourth largest economy in the world will openly revolt against the federal government.
@democrats.org All the democratic controlled states with democratic controlled congresses and governors, why haven’t you passed universal healthcare and education for your state?? What are you waiting for? Stop waiting for the federal government!! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
Elon Musk said a new political party he has been threatening to start up “is formed,” a day after President Donald Trump signed a tax-cut and spending bill that the Tesla billionaire CEO has denounced

"As violence erupted, his charging document said, he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, 'Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!' He then raised his arms in celebration after breaching the Capitol in a face mask... and escaped through a window..." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...
Trump’s DOJ forced UVA President Jim Ryan to resign. Wesleyan President Michael Roth calls it what it is: an assault on academic freedom and a warning sign of tyranny. A must-read for anyone who cares about democracy:

Health groups are mobilizing behind the scenes to preserve access for vaccines as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to upend the nation’s decades-old vaccine system, according to public health experts.
CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months
This! 100% this! Good guys don’t hide their identity, wear street clothes, refuse to provide identification, and put people in unmarked vans. That is fascism.
Oil prices jump and stock futures slip, indicating concern among investors about the possibility of economic fallout from the ongoing unrest in the Middle East.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
This assertion is also in the (unclassified) 2025 Annual Threat Assessment which was released in March

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Chalkbeat reports that cuts to lay off social workers and counselors and college programs designed to train mental health providers, appear to be part of the Trump administration’s broader attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
Under the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule barring medical debt from appearing on credit reports. Now, the agency is siding with the credit industry groups suing to have the rule vacated.
