"Demetre Daskalakis was initially optimistic because Kennedy seemed to be going out of his way to say he wanted an open, collaborative relationship with CDC staff—and that he was genuinely interested in scientific inquiry." Remember those days?

"'You need to say, ‘This is what we think we know, but this may change tomorrow,’ and just be really clear about risk communication,' Daskalakis said. 'You need to approach everything with less confidence and hubris.'" That wasn't enough.
Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election. They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare.
Ma fa il presidente o l’opinionista?

RFK Jr., sans medical credentials, boasts he can spot kids' mitochondrial woes and inflammation via mere glances at their faces and gaits—pure charlatan clairvoyance from HHS's throne. #HealthMisinfo
"Another picture emerged: that of small businesses being harmed by a president who was elected because of his purported business acumen; of a man whose obsession with appearing tough on crime now threatens to sabotage urban economies across the country."
Finally an opportunity for brave-white-patriotic-rural Americans to Make America Great Again! Only a suggestion to the authorities: when you’ll go for them, go at night, they are usually heavy armed
"The American Slavery 2.0 project is a brilliant conceit precisely because it dovetails so many MAGA governing principles into a single, big and beautiful policy." — @schaller67.bsky.social
Georgia has always been Russia's testing ground. From secessionism to embargoes and outright invasion, the current takeover is actually a step further, it's what Russia aims to do with Ukraine eventually. Helping Georgians means crushing Russia's playbook for the future.

For immigrants detained and released, what comes next? Free, but with the cloud of future deportation following them around wherever they go? Ximena Arias Cristobal is one such immigrant. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social tells her story in the latest Huddled Masses www.thebulwark.com/p/what-happe...
Air Force bestows military funeral honors on Jan. 6 insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, reversing Biden-era denial after her QAnon-fueled breach of the Capitol ended in a fatal shot. Trump's pardon spree echoes this grotesque rehabilitation of rioters. #January6
Nazism, on the other hand, retraced the mythical origins of Germanism, also involving archeologists to establish the measures and proportions of the new Nuremberg stadium. Moscow, the capital of the Soviet power, kept alive certain traditions linked to the imperial past” 4/end
At the same time, he tended to exalt national traditions: fascism evoked "Romanity", physically appropriating some very representative places, as they are suitable for gathering crowds, such as Piazza Venezia (seat of the Duce's speeches) and the Imperial Forums. 3/
The first was the myth of the modern: the regimes, while founding a "new order", wanted to render, through architecture, the idea of youth, dynamism, vitality. 2/

Peter Thiel crony named acting director of CDC. Jim O'Neill was CEO of the Thiel Foundation and was managing director for Thiel's Clarium Capital and Mithril Capital. He also co-founded the Thiel Fellowship. gift link to WaPo, which barely mentions these things:
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

"In the days since his latest meeting with Putin, this time in Alaska on August 15, Trump has again been spewing Russian propaganda, including against the United States. The collusion was real. And it never stopped." New from @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-trum...
Right-wing media has spent years portraying Chinese international students as economic saboteurs or outright spies. Why? In part because key figures inside Trump world have been making that case for years. Now Trump is calling for 600,000 Chinese student visas. NEW from Will Sommer:

Chissà cosa dice Salvini
In Trump’s and MAGA’s mind USA is any more a federal state
Gli USA non possono più essere considerati un partner
Quindi: Trump è ammiratore di Putin che però a volte lo fa arrabbiare (a volte), Trump penalizza con i dazi l’India perché fa affari con Putin che lui ammira, Trump vuole combattere con tutte le forze la Cina che sotto sotto aiuta Putin e fa affari con tutti quelli che Trump si inimica.
🧵Una minimizzazione che dice più di molte parole: in Italia l’antisemitismo non provoca più scandalo, ma viene liquidato con formule burocratiche e retoriche di circostanza, finendo così per normalizzare il clima antiebraico e per diventarne, di fatto, complici. 3/3 Filippo Piperno su InOltre 🧶
I just want to shout: wake up, this is what russia does every day, this is for real. Ukraine, Kyiv, morning. Rescuers are looking for people in their own apartments under the rubble.

Owens’s hopes for presidential intervention have grown increasingly desperate. Last week, she claimed on her podcast that the U.S. military had pressured Trump to encourage her to drop the Macron story, implying that Trump is a puppet for a military junta.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ~Theodore Roosevelt
How does it match with his pardons of Jan 6 assailants?
"There was a veteran who did not like this, and wanted to make a statement of freedom, wanted to make a statement of principle, that we still live in a free country." Under our standing precedent, burning the flag can indeed count as that. @timmiller.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social
Qualsiasi cosa vuole avere Trump la pretende sotto la minaccia di sanzioni. Quindi le minacce non avranno mai fine
Unfairly?
Look, he’s telling you something that has to be taken seriously
You believe you’re gonna have free and fair elections in 2026?
Sequenza molto lineare: mi faccio eleggere al parlamento europeo, incasso, se mi candidano in Italia faccio professione d'amore eterno per la mia terra, se mi trombano torno a fare l'expat di lusso anziché il capo dell'opposizione locale. Bello, no? www.ilfoglio.it/politica/202...
È un cialtrone dilettante, ma con uno scopo. Non gli interessa Kiev, è un ammiratore - non segreto - di Putin, va d’accordo con il dittatore della Corea del Nord, sta usando i suoi poteri per militarizzare le città e ridurre gli spazi democratici in USA. Non va preso in giro, va preso sul serio
He talks like an old drunk man
Wake up Americans! They’re setting up a white supremacist armed control over your lives
Plainly inventing things… something doesn’t work in his head
Since they cannot accept data that are not aligned to their storytelling, they either fire or suit those who prepared them. You really have a huge problem. Can’t you see it?
And of course he’s a super partes in trying to arrange a ceasefire
All these whinings are disgusting… and these are MAGA Alfa males
Trump ha criticato NBC e ABC definendole "due delle reti peggiori e più faziose della storia" aggiungendo che avrebbe sostenuto la FCC nella revoca delle licenze alle loro emittenti televisive (verso le visioni di George Orwell a velocità elevatissima)
USA is not even defending its own democracy
That’s scary
After Russia was militarily defeated in its invasion of Afghanistan, the Kremlin negotiated with itself to collapse the Soviet Union empire.

Ukraine: "We will not gift our land to the occupiers," President Zelensky said at a ceremony commemorating National Flag Day in Kyiv.
Communism and socialism imply caring for the disadvantaged, Trump’s government is neither of both, is autocracy
That is, allowing WH cronies to interfere in management
It’s pathetic. History will wipe him and his supporters out
He could be a fxxxing narcissist
Sacrosanto
Russian propagandists say that Europe "is parasitizing on the war in Ukraine and are "war addicts." This is one of the main narratives and lies in current Russian propaganda - warmongering Europe. In reality, of course, Russia has no intention of stopping the war right now.
They’re looking for copies of papers before taking out their redacted version
He’s always angry against Ukraine, but disappointed with Putin. No surprise, I’m surprised that anyone can think he’s a different motivation for peace apart his narcissism
Stanno cercando di vedere se ci sono carte che sono state salvate prima di uscire con la loro versione taroccata?
Molto semplice: bloccheranno forniture a UKR e daranno l’ennesimo ultimatum a Putin
Donald Trump is doing with the American economy what Stockton Rush did with that janky homemade imploding sub.
Trump said he ordered his attorneys to review the Smithsonian, calling it “out of control” and too focused on “how bad slavery was.” We asked museum visitors outside the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C., to share their reactions to the president’s remarks.
It’s time for ONU to leave USA

Several of Fox News’s most prominent on-air news personalities made clear their desire to help President Trump shortly before and after the 2020 presidential election, according to a tranche of court documents released in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox Corporation.
Trump’s attack on The Smithsonian exposes his fear of slavery’s legacy & lessons, which indicts his own racist immigration regime. By erasing injustice, he seeks to shield his policies from scrutiny - warping history into propaganda and deepening the the country’s moral decay.
Trump's deportation bazaar expands: Honduras absorbs Spanish-speaking rejects, Uganda warehouses African and Asian asylum hopefuls, all while courting rights-abusing regimes for this grotesque shuffle. #HumanRights
