I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...

This how the framing is going. That a president has no power in the US constitution to do a thing is now being recast as the president having âno explicit powerâ. Subtle, devious, dangerous, treacherous shift. Sad and bad to see NYT adopting this spin on a headline.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didnât know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

"oh nothing matters because mr. trump won't let it matter" shut up
a bunch of you really believe that trump is the unstoppable god king who can do whatever he declares and it is dumb as hell
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
So the prospect of cheaper, cleaner, more secure energy is a vote loser? The Tories are no longer a serious party. Don't believe the nonsense about wind turbines. They're majestic.
This âexplicitâ is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. Itâs not ambiguous.
Absolutely incredible. The Berlin police justified repeatedly brutally punching this Irish activist in the face and breaking their arm... ...because they said they were acting like Nazis. Yes, violently attacking protesters opposed to genocide has definitely rebutted that one!

While he throws the CDC into chaos that may not be fixable, read @kieraevebutler.bsky.social and I on what else RFK Jr. is planning to do to vaccines, and remember the artificial September deadline he's set to "discover" the causes of autism: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
After Hurricane Katrina, residents of a large Vietnamese community in the Algiers neighborhood were some of the first to return and rebuild. 20 years later, their neighborhood is still prone to flooding. Trump shut down the FEMA program that the community was using to mitigate the problem.
RFK must go. Please contact your congresspeople about this. Ask them why RFK was allowed to unilaterally fire a senate appointee because she contacted senators â the appropriate oversight body â after the HHS secretary demanded that she break the law & betray Americansâ public health.
RFK Jr. lackey Vinay Prasad single-handedly decided to restrict access to the COVID19 vaccine. In part, he used the more restrictive European vaccine guidelines as justification. But those countries also have nationalized healthcare. Their citizens wonât go broke for a hospital stay.
A former LAPD officer built a luxury lifestyle with side hustles and exotic cars. Now, prosecutors say he plotted a $300K crypto kidnapping with ties to the Israeli underworld.

âA Hero Is Not Just a Sandwich!â
The Smithsonianâs secretary met with President Trump on Thursday, days after the White House intensified its efforts to increase its influence over the museum and research institution. Neither offered further details about what the two discussed.
No neighborhood was hit worse in Katrina than New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward and it's been one of the slowest areas to rebound. There's still an effort to attract new residents and businesses there.
Trump is going to use absolutely all the tricks to steal the elections.
There was no sense from DC Democrats in the 2024 election that America was in mortal danger. More importantly there was no such sense from major mediaâincluding Kleinâwhich did its job so poorly that Americans went to the polls in 2024 more poorly informed than any US electorate in the last century.
The government's colossal failure to respond after Hurricane Katrina led to major reforms at the nation's top disaster agency. Now, the Trump administration has reversed some of those changes.
Lot of people not familiar with RFKâs fucked up brain so let me translate: he thinks he can walk around and see how many kids are autistic, and he thinks vaccines caused it. Pretty much that simple
While ICE agents can note in their database if someone theyâve investigated turns out to be a citizen, they are not required to do so. As a result, records are often wrong and left uncorrected even after agents have been told of a mistake. (Published March 2025)

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
Noting the exact language BTW: "Why the two firefighters were arrested is unclear. But a spokesperson for the Incident Management Team leading the firefighting response said the team was âaware of a Border Patrol operation on the fire."
What Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told the Senate Finance Committee as its members considered his nomination:
They don't feel shame, but they care deeply about status. Wanting to be liked--or at least envied--is their Achilles heel. We can use that against them:it's cheap, non-violent & effective. Social shunning of elites supporting Pinochet helped bring down the Chilean dictator: it can work here too.
Foreign doctors have been serving as medical volunteers, but must be approved by Israel to enter Gaza. The World Health Organization says denial rates have increased by 50% since March.

I think she should go around to blue states and help set up state run CDCs
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.âs hand-picked panel of advisers.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
Just because you can say âmitochondrialâ doesnât mean you understand what it means. Same for âinflammationâ. Maybe also âkidsâ.
A former CDC staffer adds: âThis is the work of a death cult.â
This is part â just a small part, but a part â of the problem. They really don't believe government does anything â and don't want it to.
âDo not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.â â Lydia, 16, Minneapolis
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can âsee in kids faces that they have inflammationâ Thatâs NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Well, this is horrifyingly bad. RFK Jr. and these tools of his science-free health project need to be out.
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
"We allowed our No. 1 ally, on our watch, to violate every single principle and pillar of humanitarian assistance and civilian protection that we created for the world."
Incredibly infuriating. "Even Biden himself had to make calls negotiating what number of aid trucks would be let in from the border crossings, according to sources...Officials who described these calls to NPR said they appeared to be part of an Israeli strategy to bog the U.S. down in the details."
Things are clearly worse under Trump, but this is a damning account of the failures of the Biden administration when it came to Gaza. www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...

âFEMAâs termination of this bipartisan program defies both law and logic." They survived Katrina and started to rebuild. Now, Trumpâs cuts may flood them out again.
