For many years during which I’ve had health insurance, I filed no “claims” other than my annual checkup, and there are multiple years in which, out of sloth or forgetfulness, I didn’t even do that.

MENG: Are you going to issue new memo in writing rescinding weaponization fund? BLANCHE: I'm not committing to putting anything in writing. What would the purpose be? M: You established it in writing so it makes sense to rescind it in writing B: Ok. I'm not committing to doing anything in writing

"On Tyranny" author @timothysnyder.bsky.social in @standupforscience.net's meeting on the proposed OMB rules: "It’s very clear, reading this text, its intention is to make science not work anymore. ... This is essentially medieval. And that’s actually being unfair to people in the Middle Ages.”

Nobel Laureate Dr. Carolyn Bertuzzi says "...this is a 5-alarm fire." Prof. Tim Snyder compares this OMB proposal to "late-Stalinist policies" and thinks of Project 2025 as Project Witchcraft because of the magical thinking. US Rep. Judy Chu is in our meeting advocating for science.

The United States now has thirteen fully stocked, fully staffed facilities capable of providing Ebola care safely and effectively. The administration has no plans to make use of them. Trump has a chance to do Ebola his way, and Ebola veterans are aghast.

🚨“The appointment of Elias Irizarry, who was 19 at the time of the riot in 2021, to a post in the DOD’s Special Operations & Low Intensity Conflict office has raised alarm among staff who question how anyone convicted in the assault on US democracy could be trusted for such a sensitive role”🚨

Empire State Democrats have mapped out their plans to rewrite the state constitution to allow for a new congressional map ahead of the 2028 elections that could net the party four additional U.S. House seats. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Ann Coulter is back to promoting Donald Trump. This can only mean she saw dollar signs as she has no morality or conscience.

a girl said her fantasy is to be at the grocery store when it happens and now i can’t stop dreaming of it i’m standing looking at cheese at central market, when i hear people start whispering, picking up their phones and gasping NO, then squealing. i buy the mimolette and a bottle of krug.

Never forget that Sam Altman wants to build a Dyson Sphere around the Solar System to house data centers.

Planning documents for "Scout" say the plan is to "make people addicted" to the tool before adding new features.

Pinocchigoles continues his campaign to be known as the most hateful member of Congress. Very sad that he represents part of NASHVILLE, a very welcoming city. Happy Pride month, y’all. 🏳️‍🌈

Civil terrorism. Civil. Terrorism. I need a new screaming pillow.

They're looking for a pretext to attack the ACA. Again.

Also, these are the same Yahoos who keep saying that illegal immigrants are using Medicaid. THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID, NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IS ON MEDICAID. ZERO.

I am a broker. This is not happening. If you apply for a subsidy and THEIR SYSTEM shows that you make too little and you qualify for Medicaid, you are kicked to Medicaid… BY THEIR SYSTEM. There is no double dipping here. He’s a moron.

Dr Oz: "We believe that 35 percent of the people using the Obamacare exchanges may not be legit. That's 5, 6 million people. We have to evaluate these numbers. They are extremely concerning."

Look, I know I sound crazy, but WHY WOULD RUSSELL VOUGHT, mastermind behind Project 2025, WRITE THAT OMB CAN CANCEL ANY GRANT FOR ANY REASON IF THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO EXACTLY THAT?! Mark my words: Agencies will send out blanket grant cancellation emails that will make 2025 look like child's play.

My daughter Robyn would still be alive today if there had been a truely protected bicycle lane. What was the NYPD response to this tragedy? Ticket bicyclists! The box truck diver who killed my daughter? He got some tickets for vehicle issues, nothing for causing the death of Robyn! @mayor.nyc.gov

It’s absolutely crazy they can void an election with no consequences.

I do think it’s objectively pathetic that the right wing press are going all in on announcing Supergirl is destined to fail just because its main star said a lot of the online abuse she gets comes from accounts with ‘Christian dad’ in the bio. You don’t like women in films. They’re scary. We get it.

Trump: "The New York Times wrote a story today entitled, 'Trump Administration Sees Striking Exodus of Legal Talent,' as though that’s a bad thing, when actually, it’s very good."

I have a confession that’s probably going to ruffle some feathers. I’M TIRED OF PRETENDING DOUGHNUTS ARE GOOD. Eating dessert for breakfast makes my tummy hurt. If I’m going to be miserable all day, it’s not going to be because of a doughnut and I’m not having a doughnut for dessert.

Too many people are worried about who's going to be on the primary stage in 2028 instead of stopping the coup it's actively going on.

1. Pretty confident a craft that size isn’t airborne from two little propellers. 2. He’s sharing this because he’s trying to argue the ballroom is a security installation and therefore within his autonomous purview.

The number of people on this app who continue to bite on such obvious rage bait troubles me greatly. Like guys, come on, it's 2026, get your heads in the game.

This is a real ad the Paxton campaign is running right now

“There was a man who has Stage 3 lung cancer, not getting medical treatment. He wants to leave, go back home, spend his final months...with his family. But they just won’t let him go.”

WTAF.

NOW: I’m outside the Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, NJ where protesters are supporting detainees inside who are on a hunger and labor strike because of inhumane treatment. Follow this thread for updates.

Because of course

An AP investigation found that at least 10 detainees have died by suicide since Trump took office in January 2025, a pace that far exceeds the growth in the detainee population, according to a review of ICE data, autopsy reports, coroners' rulings and police records. https://to.pbs.org/4dBhUFw

BREAKING: California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.”

House Representative Jerry Nadler of New York and Dan Goldman are attempting to gain access to Delaney Hall to inspect the conditions inside.

MIT (endowment: $27B) shuttering three of its four main libraries is one of those news items that just knocks you off balance, auguring, as it does, profound and permanent changes to the entire institutional apparatus of higher education in this country.

"Rule 60...allows the court to set aside the judgment and reopen the case." Judges don't have to let this happen! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

BEING A FELON..... SEEMS TO BE MANDATORY FOR TRUMP AND MAGA CULT!!

DHS will require every green card applicant to leave the country before applying, even if they qualify for a green card or leaving would disqualify them. The agency has already cut green card approvals in half over the past year. Remember: it was never about legal immigration.
