For much of Donald Trumpās first term in office, the president was obviously an idiot and a would-be authoritarian. But he was also surrounded by people who were competent and experienced. It's clear now he is surrounded purely by enablers, sycophants, and true believers. trib.al/KIVLZ6E
World Liberty Financialās cryptocurrency token fell short of investorsā hopes. But a previous deal paved the way for a payment to the Trump family of potentially hundreds of millions of dollars.

Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
āLIKE A BROKEN RECORDā Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trumpās lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago ā even as šŗšø media wouldnāt.
Has anyone seen the President?
In one of the debates in New York mayor's race, Mamdani (and Lander) both praised Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. She has been one of the most passionate voices defending cities and urban life as Trump trashes them. And she's stayed popular in way Brandon Johnson has not. newrepublic.com/article/1997...
Trump is not ātestingā the limits of executive power in trying to fire Fed gov. Cook. He is blasting through the plain letter of the law, violating the bipartisan consensus the central bank should be insulated against political pressure and putting at risk our econ open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Thank goodness for scientists like Dr. Peter Hotez who are doing the heavy lifting as HHS and CDC continue to push their anti vaccine agendas.

House LHHC bill is out. Lots of hits to HHS, but the top line number for NIH is 1% decrease, mostly due to cuts ARPA-H. This seems like a huge rejection of the president's budget request.

Russians have likely caused a new environmental disaster in the Black Sea: a massive oil slick is currently drifting toward Crimea following a Russian tanker accident and an oil spill near Novorossiysk. According to the latest data, the slick covers approximately 350 square kilometers.
This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The āDepartment of Warā was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trumpās most performative actions are.

In the cheap fun category: Trump posted this morning that he had raised $8 trillion, or $65,000 per household, from import taxes (tariffs) so far this year. Every Republican in Congress can be asked if they agree with Trump's numbers.

Or how hard the Senators worked to get the worst of the worst out of the big ugly bill and yeah, Schumer played a huge role in making that happen. You didnāt acknowledge how the DNC has organized 138 town halls in Republican district that our democratic lawmakers have hosted 2/
You also talked about Iowa, but you didnāt talk about the fact Ken Martin sent 30,000 volunteers there. In fact, every time we have won one of these elections, the DNC has been there. Every single one of these local wins the DNC has been there asking the campaign: hoe can we help? 3/

š§ŖJim O'Neill, the acting CDC director, is a tech investor w/o a biology degree or the relevant experience. Susan Monarez was fired b/c she refused to endorse anti-science directives. Multiple officials resigned as they were forced to pick ideology over science. Every accusation is a confession.
This isnāt politics. Itās not left or right. Itās not conservative or liberal. Cutting funding to treat children with brain cancer is hate and greed.
Make no mistake, everything thatās happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
We have forest service roads that arenāt being maintained. I have one about five miles away that hasnāt been done in five years. If you cut the FS budget where does the money come from to build these roads. Guess I better get on the comment train.

Meanwhile, did you see? A federal judge on Friday allowed the Trump admin and the Oklahoma AG to use his court to subvert democracy through a sham lawsuit manufactured to get rid of a pro-immigrant state law they donāt like without needing to go through the trouble of actually repealing the law.

Suggesting that China - who is the main enabler of Russiaās genocidal war - should be part of a āpeacekeepingā mission to Ukraine, is beyond stupid. The level of incompetence in the American administration is staggering. You donāt ask the rapist to protect the victim. Unless youāre Trump.
