No president in modern history has done more to actively set back cancer research than Donald Trump. No president in modern history has done more to reduce the access to health care of kids (and grown ups) than Donald Trump. That's the record. The WH is offering lies.

Even if Putin supposedly ends up agreeing not to try to conquer parts of Ukraine that he hasn't been able to conquer, that's NOT a concession. It's an empty promise. Use the right words. Russia has not offered a single concession.

We’ve never been closer to finding a potential cure for cancer than we were with mRNA. So of course, RFK Jr. cancelled all government funding for mRNA. God fucking damn it.

“Remember this, they’re not arresting us to take us to jail. They’re arresting us to take us back to the House floor to vote on maps that benefit them. If that’s not fascism, I don’t know what is.” ~Texas Rep Diego Bernal #StopTheTexasSteal #StandWithTexasDems #TexasResistance

But man, a huge swing given the economics right now: “Under projections shared with potential creditors a few months ago, xAI was slated to burn about $13 billion in cash in 2025, people familiar with the financials said. The startup isn’t profitable and generates a very small amount of revenue.”

Always.

There is 347 million Americans. That’s roughly 5% of our population, 1 out of every 20 people losing their health insurance.

Was Trump working off of "instinct" when six of his previous companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy? Asking for a friend. Lots of 'em actually. www.ft.com/content/9f51...

“Trump’s personality is, and has always been, zero-sum and urgent,” writes @dkthomp.bsky.social. “The scariest thing about the Trump tariffs isn’t the numbers, but the underlying message. We’re all living inside the president’s head, and nobody knows anything”: https://theatln.tc/d9Y7nSsY

As we all watch one man single-handedly destroy America's economy, jack up the cost of living, eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs, and undermine social security, keep in mind that William Kelley, his professor at Wharton, called him "the dumbest goddamn student I ever had."

If this is true I'm getting healthier by the day.

Gun violence is the NUMBER ONE cause of death for children today. But guess what? The CDC Department that funds and researches methods to prevent this, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control? Gone as of today. Are kids going to be healthier and safer now?

From what I can see, the most bloated things in the Federal government right now are the egos of the cabinet secretaries and unelected oligarchs who are overseeing the wholesale destruction of America as we know it.

The problem is, in the nursery rhyme of my childhood, Humpty Dumpty never got put back together again. All the King's horses and all the King's men failed. Who knew a nursery rhyme could be so prescient?

The screenshots posted by the Atlantic show clearly that Waltz, Hegseth, Gabbard and Ratliffe lied. Incompetent, reckless, criminal, deceitful. This is the team keeping America safe and strong. Beyond disgraceful and dangerous.

Let this settle in to your mind for a bit. The carelessness and incompetence is beyond staggering.

Once again, the @wsj.com editorial board calls out the pro-Putin mindset of yet another member of the Trump cabinet. It's not just pathetic. It begs a whole lot of questions that go well beyond our national security. www.wsj.com/opinion/stev...

Hegseth's stunning incompetence is matched only by the stunning incompetence of the President who nominated him and the Senators who confirmed him. It's an epic fail across the board. #Hegseth #congress #politics www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
