Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."

As a doctor, I am disturbed by what RFK Jr. is doing to America’s public health system. It is time for medical associations, Republican doctors, and all who believe in science to step up and speak out about the lack of science behind these moves.

RFK Jr. is "like the guy you never wanted to have to partner with in science class. He thought he knew the answers and he's ultimately the guy who would light his hair on fire, and now he's lighting all of HHS on fire," says Michigan Senate candidate Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social.
Bullshit
“The environment we live in … stoked by misinformation, especially from people considered by some to be health authorities, makes me worried for all of us in public health.” kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
International student arrivals on U.S. visas in July dropped 28.5% year over year, India alone plunged 50%. That’s a brutal financial blow for colleges, many of which rely on international students paying 2–3× more than in-state kids to balance their budgets. Project 2025 continues as planned.
Probably the best thing for all concerned.
So we’re supposed to believe that the Truth Social posts over the last couple days that aren’t filled with terrible spelling and grammar, random capitalization and quotation marks where they don’t belong, with no threats or personal insults, are actually being written by Trump?

I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?

A Texas Republican lawmaker who last week blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander made disturbing comments at a 2022 legislative hearing — suggesting a way to deal with immigrants might be: “shoot, shovel and shut up.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’m looking forward to watching Lame Duck Ron Desantis’s attempts to gain traction to revive his dead end political career as a private citizen using money he has to raise himself rather than pissing away taxpayer funds and abusing govt power.

Based on her dismal approval ratings in Maine, which are 12 points lower than they were 6 years ago when she ran, they seem to be. I’m looking forward to the Bernie / Grant Platner rally on Monday in Portland, ME.
Her constituents should be on to her phonyism by now...if not, they're fools 😤 !!!

In a letter sent Thursday to Mike Johnson,Trump said he would not be spending $4.9 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid — effectively cutting the budget without going through the legislative branch. The letter was posted Friday…
Trump told Mike Johnson he won’t be spending $4.9B in congressionally approved foreign aid. He's cutting the budget without going through legislative branch. He's doing it by using a pocket rescission, informing them near end of fiscal year, so Congress can't act on it in the 45-day timeframe.
Mike Johnson is totally committed to covering up the Trump/Epstein Files. No matter how many members of Congress from both parties want to see the full release Mike Johnson will never allow it to come to a vote. MAGA Mike is a major player in the Trump Epstein criminal coverup conspiracy #ProudBlue
I was on with Nicolle Wallace and got to break news! We discussed the ongoing redistricting wars and a lot more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h68Y...

RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
Remember what Trump did his day in 2nd term: On day one Trumps most significant move regarding gun violence was dismantling the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and signaling broad reversals of recent gun safety reforms prioritizing deregulation and expanded gun rights flags lowered?
Today there is a report by Dow Jones News says that Trump's reinventing business tactics is dangerous and a tax on all. ✅💯
Sen. Tina Smith (Minn.) blasted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday after he suggested psychiatric drugs given to children could partly be to blame for school shootings And as to you Jr., what did your ingestion of street drugs like Heroin and Cocaine do to you?
Donnie thinks lowering interest rates when unwarranted will help him. Look no further than to our southern neighbors in Argentina how their inflation rate was at 80%, I feel it coming

Profiles in courage.
It’s been 17 days since Trump militarized DC. Crime is on the rise. Trump owns it.
I did promise that Republican states that capitulate to Trump's demands to illegally gerrymander their maps will be sued. And history shows I never bluff and usually win. I also said that there are only two types of GOP officials -- proud MAGA and scared MAGA. That is true.

I'm a Buddhist.The centerpieces of Buddhism is self reflection and developing keen empathy-& knowing how to apply it in life. You'll never see empathy coming out of an AI program.You have to be human.Without it I can only look kindly on reactions & responses, like benevolence towards a child.
Must see t.v
It’s not the software that is deemed evil, but their creators.
Ya, I agree, what I wrote was intended as more of a legal/political stmnt against them via snark, rather than then a precise attack on algorithms & programs. It's the smug creators who have an unconscious streak of evil.
2/ be presumptuous,though that's what u did with my stmnt, & got me wrong.I've been working with comptrs &studying cognition & consciousness 4 decades.Bott line,u & I have oppo beliefs abt AI.For me only 50% worthy of my respect until I see chg in attitude in the creators.But most won't admit a prob
1/ Ken,I appreciate the time you took to write your thoughts, as well as describe your process,but whereas I wrote only a short general statement abt the field & the creators,not blaming you for anything, you took it as a personal attack. Why, I can't know b/c you're a stranger & to assess you wld b
How very simplistic of you Perhaps when It's taught by mature, responsible, human creators who see those algorithms as a deity what the full meaning of the word "boundaries" means, like one would an unruly child in public,then maybe those of us who see it's flaws will learn to trust/"get used to"it

BREAKING: A shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been contained, and the suspected shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, law enforcement officials told NBC News. The exact number of victims is not yet known. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?
My heart breaks for the children of America, who have to live in fear because of the gun violence epidemic that continues to impact our schools and churches. As we wait for more information, my heart goes out to the Annunciation Catholic School community and to the people of Minneapolis.
Note that out of all the 4 European Scandinavian countries she doesn't state which one.I've been to all 4 & can state that there would be very few natives who would say that. More likely to be said by an immigrant from a communist country working there legally.Scandinavia is much more humane to them
Trump won this district by 11.5 points.

Maybe Hegseth can use the clips of soldiers in uniform picking up trash around DC in a recruiting ad.

Wow. When I first read about this I assumed this was an anonymous letter. But turns out they had the courage to sign their names to it knowing the consequences of a highly vindictive Trump. Lots of respect.
Antifa is everywhere.
Interesting that this happens on the same day Chuck Grassley posts that Trump’s tariffs are hurting Iowa farmers.

Republicans are trying to force the Fulton County Board of Commissioners into installing two far-right activists – Julie Adams and Jason Frazier – on Georgia’s largest county’s elections board. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/fulton-commi...
The political appointment, first reported by Democracy Docket, shows how self-styled election investigators who have thrown themselves into election conspiracy theories since 2020 are now being celebrated by a presidential administration that indulges their false claims.
That would bring a great healing to our nation though. And we would give you the *noble* prize😏
Day 4 and the Novoshakhtinsk refinery in the Rostov region, Russia, keeps on burning.
The Trump administration isn’t just “to the right.” It’s a white nationalist comfort zone. And they’re trying to pass it off as business as usual. Check this out…
In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"
