Thank you @nadler.house.gov for representing me and my family in Congress so ably for so many years. You have a great legacy, and I hope you can convince @schumer.senate.gov he can best protect your and his legacies by following your example before the 2026 midterms. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...

Tulsi Gabbard has effectively dissolved FMIC, the Foreign Malign Influence Center. I’m shocked by her flagrant chutzpah to cater favors directly to Russia and China (& other actors), and at the same time, I am not surprised because this is exactly who I thought she is.
Nine former CDC chiefs say RFK Jr. is endangering Americans. Amid a measles surge he fired Susan Monarez, installed unqualified advisers, and cut vaccine support. They urge Congress, medical groups, and philanthropy to defend science and public health.
Leviticus 19:33–34: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God". Realize this MAGA: Trump wont be going to heaven.

As the stock markets crashed, Trump did not go to New York to consult with Wall Street or Delaware to receive the bodies of American servicemen killed in Lithuania. He went to his Doral golf resort hosting the Saudis. This took precedence over the nation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Right-wing billionaires who own the media are enabling the Trump regime’s authoritarian takeover. This is why it is so critical to support independent journalism right now. Traditional media is no longer a trustworthy source of information for the public to stay informed and fight against fascism.

Thank you for your valiant labor turning the lemming hoard; many of whom sadly, are scared, deluded and armed.
While researching that article, I discovered these amazing videos of action potentials! Check out how the signal propagates through the plant. Wow! ⚛️🧪 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
MAGA NIH claims to promote gold standard science while cutting cancer research. Dr. Monarez was fired b/c she tried to prevent political meddling in science. Scientists at the CDC quit b/c it had become untenable to do science that serves the public. 🧪🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...
MAGA's 'gold standard science'- an idoltterous golden calf. Let's not choose death.

Undercutting faith in the US markets, currency and bonds, would unleash a global crisis and realignment. But I'm just a groundling.

In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
Never, ever did I believe that SCIENCE would be eliminated from the CDC & Department of Health. The suggestion for “injecting bleach” during the pandemic was a sign, but I was in denial. I can admit it.
Zany and grotesque the pace hare of our attention's distraction. (So consistent and enveloping; I think it's by design!)
If I was a foreign invader that wanted to conquer us, I’d put in place a cruel & incompetent government just like this to rip the country apart, so I don’t have to. They’re literally destroying everything great about America, which has been a Russian goal for a long time. Coincidence or orders?

No, President Trump. Forcing seniors with traditional Medicare to get prior approval from AI companies before they can receive the health care they need won’t make America healthy again. It will make AI companies even richer by denying care to seniors. DON’T CUT MEDICARE.
But MAHA takes this too far, basically spinning up legitimate research into a mitochondrial theory of everything. The fad is perhaps best exemplified by the bestselling book co-written by RFK Jr's nominee for surgeon general and her (literal) business bro. This article breaks it down nicely:
Wondering how many of the little girls that died in the flood if any could’ve been saved have they not had a 72 hour delay in the rapid River response? Plus we’ve lost immigrants who have died in ice custody! She’s a puppy killer/little girl killer/immigrant killer in my book!

NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.

Climate change worsens half-century of drinking water problems on the Pleasant Point Passamaquoddy Reservation in Maine. A new deep well in town has been helping, but now the Trump administration has clawed back grant funds for water testing & filtration. insideclimatenews.org/news/3108202...

O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"

Donny Chamberlin appeases Putin & betrays Ukraine "Peace for our time"
Holiday weekend, of course a wave like this crests to dominate the media flow.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
It isn't going to be his pedophile pals who have worked on his campaigns, some of whom are likely still out there raping children. It's going to be us, the ones who oppose him and call him out for what he is.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
