"Every one of these people is taking with them skills and knowledge that will be difficult to replace. But there may be no single individual whose departure better captures what is being lost and destroyed than Demetre Daskalakis."
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nationās public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
I know that's all really frightening. You may have already watched this video on YouTube with @hcrichardson.bsky.social and Gil Duran. If you haven't seen this, it's very informative. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWjR...

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

F-ing amazing.

Alrighty then. Compelling, expert reason to implement tarrifs. /s
Increasingly feeling like this kind of regional collaboration is the path forward not just with public health, but with other administrative state functions. We need blue states to start building capacity to fill gaps being left by the gutting of federal infrastructure.
Whoever has been writing headlines at @the-independent.com recently is doing a great job
What utterly, utterly pathetic people in this a administration.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
"See how it plays out." FFS.
What about Susan Collins? Any statements of regret from her? /s

Bingo.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Precisely
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trumpās overreach is what our founders warned against ā it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. Thereās no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
šNOTE TO PRESS: You are allowed to push back, ask follow-up questions, and correct lies for the record when questioning anybody, but mostly when questioning the most notorious liar on the planet. In fact, that's your fucking job.
As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout. Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/

The government can own a material position in Intel but running 5 grocery stores in food deserts so people have options other than fast food is communism?!
What a tragedy. Our Supreme Court has lost its way.
100% agree. Just awful.
As of late last month, the investigationāled by US senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat of Georgiaāhad unearthed 41 cases of physical and sexual abuse; 14 involving pregnant detainees and 18 involving children.
Huh, so I guess they haven't all fled the state

Great interview! Thank you.

Six months into his second term, public evaluations of President Donald Trumpās job performance have grown more negative. His job approval stands at 38% (60% disapprove), and fewer Americans now attribute several positive personal characteristics to him than did so during the campaign.
im sorry, i love these and think the entire dem caucus should spend an entire week posting like this just to mock the absurdity of it all
Officer Daniel Hodges: "Jan. 6 was an actual emergency that they could have activated the National Guard for...But Trump sat in his little chair and watched us get beaten on Fox. I had someone try to gouge out my eyes, someone beat me with my baton. But apparently that wasn't a national emergency."
This seems like a well-written and well argued piece.
We're probably doomed to endless toxic feedback loops unless someone hits upon a brilliant fundamental redesign that manages to change social media's core dynamics.

As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.
No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

NEW: @wyden.senate.gov asked the Social Security Adminās Office of the Chief Actuary what Trumpās āBig Beautiful Billā would do to Social Securityās solvency ā and as expected they said it will cause Social Security to run out of money more quickly: 2032Q4 instead of 2033Q1 (4-5 months earlier).
"I know that through Russia." Jesus.
šØNEW: This is what all networks should do! MSNBC fact checks Trump live during his press conference. The REAL crime stats are put on screen as he reads out his made up figures.
Tom Cotton's home state, Arkansas, has Little Rock. Little Rock is the United States' 4th most violent city. It has a *much* higher crime rate than Washington, D.C. This is just the white supremacy talking.

Jeffrey Epstein took the fifth about Donald Trump. What else do you need to know?
FFS. Awful.
if you're reporting on the UCLA shakedown, you should ask the gov. what the legal basis for the $1 billion demand is. if they point to title VI, ask how a billion dollar demand squares with the limited remedies available by law. if they say the False Claims Act, ask which specific contracts.
Virginia Giuffreās brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight forā¦ And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody thatās the leader of our country.
