‘Stolen from the headlines”
Through its work in disease prevention, the CDC has saved millions of lives throughout the globe. Some of Trump's partisan critics question his plan to dismantle it.

There’s a difference between the COVID19 vaccine being unavailable and being such fearful appeasers of the lunatic regime that you *choose* not to provide it. That’s what the horrid #CVS pharmacies are doing. With #Covid vaccines overall may be delayed weeks. Trump simps. archive.ph/7EIAP
The Inky doesn’t need me to defend them. You seem to have super strong opinions. Who do you support in terms of paid journalism? 🤔
It should get everyone thinking — not in a good way - that if Trump would invest this much time, effort, and expense to keep one man imprisoned or renditioned to Uganda —rather than admitting to an easily fixable *mistake* what limits will they go to hide their whoppers? The clue will be the Horror.
I also hope you take the time to provide such detailed criticism to the editors and staff to whom it applies as you do here in addition to random threads. That could effect some changes you seem to wish. Out.
No one said it was perfect. It’s my hometown paper and I’ll continue to financially support journalism in the hopes it doesn’t go the way of the NYT and WaPo. I hope you do the same locally. There’re many independent voices there and they’re running on fume$. Many rounds of layoffs have been brutal.
Thanks for the advice, Buddy! I am always proud to support hometown journalism like the the Philadelphia Inquirer and our own @willbunch.bsky.social. Oops! Did it again! Enjoy your day. Keep providing that great feedback!
Trump told us everything he’d do. In advance. Saying you’re going to rob a bank out loud before you do so is still a crime. Many self-interested (racist, ugly)Americans and complicit journos absolved themselves by saying Trump’s words were brash or quaint. Believe what he says.
I maintain *anyone* who voted for Donald Trump’s 2nd term “voted for this.” All of it. You own this American hellscape. As the great @willbunch.bsky.social notes, even the awakening of some disingenuous journos & pols from their equivocating Trump slumbers may be too late. share.inquirer.com/TBKElC
"Vice President JD Vance later told NBC News’ Kristen Welker that the investigation into Bolton had to do with “broad concern” over Bolton, rather than classified documents alone." “Broad concern” — which is to say, a “fishing expedition.” Wonder if we’ll ever get to see what a judge signed off on?
@jd-vance-1.bsky.social name one you fucking lying asshole.
As JD Vance demonstrates, the far-right does not learn lessons from history (because it doesn’t know it); it simply retells it according to their own vibes (intuitions are too intellectual) and get away with it because because so many journalists do not know enough.
Hey, JD Vance! Americans are going to ultimately make the determination about where we draw the territorial lines in our own country between authoritarianism and democracy. And guess what? You’re outside the lines in the cold, caddy boy!
Ask yourselves what kind of country you want to live in and if it looks anything like this shit.
Voting for Newsom? For — *president* I assume? I must’ve napped and missed a helluva thread. I would just like is to survive to 2026 and get some of the traditional party fu#kups to support Mamdani, Pritzker, Jasmine Crockett, and others who put words to action and aren’t latecomers to the cause.
I mean the noise pollution as well as the outright environmental impacts are terrible. And the people who say they’re no louder than a regular lawn mower are those who’ve been deafened by them over time. 😬
I guess I am a crank. I realize there’s nothing to be done about gas-powered lawn mower growls, destroying the relative peace of a Saturday morning. But these ppl who use their edgers and blowers incessantly, until that last blade of grass is blasted 10 feet away — hey, they are loud AF.
You’re punished if you flee the abuse here, and you are abused, stripped of your rights, bodily autonomy, and dehumanized if you stay. I believe there’s a word for that. And it’s not Democracy. We’re just 7 months in, folks. The best Chuck Schumer can do is tweet “bullshit” and NOT endorse Mamdani?
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
What's gone unsaid in all this talk about homeless people in DC is that so many in the Capital are veterans who are now having the military aimed back at them for the crime of being poor.
Confirmed: Donald Trump will have company in hell. The soulless JD Vance will join him in eternity one day.
‘We don’t go to no damn football game to see MALE cheerleaders, we go to see super fit dudes in really tight pants kneel down & reach between each others legs, run & tackle until they collapse in a sweaty pile of man so we can get tipsy in the stands & admiringly call ‘em ‘units’
“‘I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,’ Collier said in a statement that called her a ‘political prisoner’ for refusing Republican ‘surveillance protocol.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Probably wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t been dodging her constituents for months. This is what happens when you sacrifice representing your people in favor of worshipping the Orange God in hopes he bestows you with precious, ill-gotten favors. Hope it was worth it.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.
I think we have identified some released J6ers right there, hired by our new American Gestapo.
Full video of federal agents violently arresting a DC delivery worker this morning (shared with me by a bystander):
Trump’s cankles make trip to Alaska for non-summit with Putin, and non-press conference which announced no deal. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Find someone who looks at you the way that Donald Trump looks at brutal mass murdering dictator and international war criminal, Vladimir Putin. #Putin #Alaska #SlavaUkraini
White people who don’t live in Washington D.C. gather on Morning Joe to dig in deeper about why it’s ok to militarize our capitol city against citizens. Based apparently on how some people “feel” vs the facts. Because voting on the feels worked out so well before.
If there is still an editor at the Washington Post who decided to publish the crap somebody wrote for that pile of shit Jeanine Pirro - and the editor is not already drunk at this hour - the editor should be fired
This is how you can tell they're workshopping propaganda to help the führer evade accountability. Again. Watch them. Cable news destroyed America.
Trump has given the District of Columbia the opportunity to make its case for statehood to the American public. Long overdue.
The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
But of course the Washington D.C. Police Union would side with Trump. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...
We’re lost when the media keeps writing bad headlines like this. “Trump extorts Nvida…” Or maybe “Nvidia pays Trump’s $3b bribe…” Because NONE of this is Constitutional. finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-...
Will the Intel CEO come to the White House bearing tribute to King Donald? Maybe some gold; diamonds; deals, and a heaping helping of lavish ego-tongue-bathing praise? Because that's how it's done in the Autocracy of America. www.reuters.com/world/us/int...
If Dems had the balls to do in 2021 -for good - in what Trump has done in just 7 months -for evil - our nation would be transformed. Reminder that our ugly white colonialism continues, as we’ll see in Washington, D.C. today. Imagine if they were majority white. www.opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-tr...
So Trump is about to invade an entire state to put homeless people in concentration camps. Many of those homeless on D.C. are veterans that were looking for assistance from the U.S. government after service. Trump is a tyrant and a terrible human being.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are now at risk for starvation. But the real famine is the lack of conservative speakers at academic conferences.
Remember Trump’s 2017 dealmaking visit to Saudi Arabia? All glitz, gold, oil, &orbs— but no protests. No people in the streets. His commerce secretary Wilbur Ross noted how great it was, as though not caring that protesters were jailed or executed. It’s coming here. www.codepink.org/why_were_the...
He’s going to start liquidating the homeless
Meanwhile anyone foolish enough to still be thinking “not me” and spending tourist dollars in the US this summer, races for the D.C. hotel express checkouts.
Let’s add Philly’s Pat Dugan to the growing list of Old White Men who won’t take “No” for an answer. Dugan lost decisively to progressive democrat Larry Krasner in the Philly District Attorney primary. Crybaby is flipping to Republican to run again in the general. share.inquirer.com/NuwCPi

It’s almost like they don’t care. My senators are Dave (Dina Powell) McCormick, and John Fetterman. How the hell did what used to be a blue state get these people? One in service to his king, one in service to himself.
America’s role in scientific leadership worldwide— is gone. These are truly a new Dark Ages, where the autocratic government controls all aspects of public AND PRIVATE life, including your personal health, mortality, ability to access information, and your future wellbeing and that of your children.
If you’re in the USAF and transgender, the Air Force says “no thanks” for your yrs of service, kicks you out, & steals your retirement & healthcare benefits. Oh, you can apply for an “exception”, but Hegseth’s goons laughed and denied every one. The cruelty is the point. apnews.com/article/air-...
A strongly worded letter!
You see that in some sections of the DelVal counties that surround Philly. After the Clinton loss faceslap wakeup call, some started to tilt Dem, thx to wmn candidatesand turnout (if I hear ‘soccer mom’ one more time 🤢🤣) but that has sadly started to snap back.
Come ON now! Sign this kid! What a swing he put on that pitch!
Here’s actual Pew Research data, comparing partisanship to a variety of variables, including income, education, military service, home ownership, union membership, etc. It’s not so clear cut. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
Another @nbcnews.com fail.
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq
Trump opening an investigation into Jack Smith for daring to investigate him is what we see in other nations that we say are corrupt, autocratic regimes. Well that is what we live in now in the USA. Some people simply don't grasp it.
We also need get the Media to do better reporting on who’s Head of the office of special counsel:podcaster, J6er, Nick Fuentes & Andrew Tate stan, and *recently* admitted to the NY Bar, Paul Ingrassia. Maybe this newbie lawyer should investigate himself. #JackSmith www.mediaite.com/lawcrime/whi...
An inevitable stand-off created by this Court’s distorted interpretation of the 14th Amendment to require colorblindness. How can a legislature could draw districts that don’t violate the Voting Rights Act w/o looking at race? It can’t be done. But the Court’s rightwing could not care less.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner's biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.
He misrepresented himself as a lawyer for over a year before that.
Did you say “admitted to the bar in 2024?” The DEI of it all. This is insane.
Republican Senators are “concerned” about the firing of the head of the BLS. They “take issue with it.” Why, they are even going to “look into it.” WTAH. They sound almost like some Dems. Which means we’re screwed. #BLS www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.
The entire thread of three months ago by Elizabeth Spiers, and her “One Fucking Guy Theory” (the bad things that happen when you have one incompetent lunatic in charge of everything (thanks Mike Johnson, John Thune, and SCOTUS) is well worth the read. She predicted Trump’s BLS move today.
From T Snyder: >>Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given... Individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.<<
DOJ put out a memo stating that all recipients of federal funding must ban trans people from bathrooms. www.justice.gov/ag/media/140...
Actually felt ill reading this.
🤣 right?
Not for nothing is she chillin at “Club Fed” now. My question is, why now? What took this long? Had Trump lost in November (grinding teeth) she’d be rotting in the prison deserves. At least.
Fire the head of the BLS, and make Trump’s “bad numbers” never happen. Remove the Smithsonian exhibit, Trump was never impeached. Twice. Don’t teach about slavery and it never happened! This f’ing sociopathic fascist madman is evil. And so is anyone supporting him www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...
“Look at the toys I get to play with, everyone! My nuk-a-lar submarines” Jesus, what a f’in week. I wish this loon would just stop tweeting and go play another round or two or 500 of golf somewhere far, far away.

We’re basically just paying for these people to have vacations and do horrible morally reprehensible things to people who don’t look like them
When everything is on fire, it’s hard for stories like this to break through. But these kind—of Kennedy circumnavigating even Trump’s effort to moderate his extremism, that name and explain the motivations behind the bureaucrats enacting Kennedy’s anti-vaccine policies—are I think, so important.
that is one way to describe a white supremacist, politico!!!
Duke University’s “Duke Chronicle” does a better job than “Politico” in accurately characterizing Darren Beattie, who had a cup of coffee for one academic year at Duke on contract as a Visiting Professor. www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...
Every accusation by Trump is either projection (of his own guilt) or a confession.’ It’s taken just 6 months for Trump to call for his flying monkey lackeys in the DOJ to investigate immediate past presidents Obama & Biden for Treason. Quoting Based Hunter Biden: “Where the Fuck is Jake Tapper?”
NEW — So much happened this week that had nothing to do with a perverted birthday message. I tried to capture the big stories in mass deportation cruelty and federal government corruption that set the stage for the days and weeks to come:
