“A court ruling can reverse the policy...but it doesn't change the erosion of public trust and the confusion that the recent policy statements have made.”

‼️

It's obvious we can't trust statements from this administration. So why does mainstream media keep reporting them as fact just to get burned over and over? "US announces xyz" should be "So and so claims without evidence that xyz." The same goes for DHS, DOJ, HHS, all of them. They routinely lie.

Strikes hit the Pasteur Institute of Iran. 1,300+ employees working on vaccine development, biopharmaceutical production, and diagnostics. No staff were killed and no pathogen release. But WHO confirmed it can no longer deliver health services. Public health infrastructure doesn't rebuild overnight.

"They know they can't compete on the traditional military field. So they attempt to cause disruption within the cyber domain using asymmetric warfare techniques." Iranian-linked hackers have been hitting US energy and water infrastructure. In a few cases it's caused disruptions and financial losses.

"The moment Citizens United was decided, the shell game was inevitable." ​We are watching billionaires completely decouple the political system from the voting public. We don't even get to know who is buying the government. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

17,000 federally funded community health centers serve 1 in 7 ppl. They're projected to lose $32 billion over five years under Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. People will lose Medicaid not bc they don't work, but bc of paperwork errors.

Trump is asking Congress for the biggest counterterrorism budget in years to implement NSPM-7, the national security directive targeting "anti-Americanism," "anti-Christianity" and "anti-capitalism" www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbis-new-p...

The Easter Sunday cosplay is loud for the hypocrites today. You can't be anti-gay, cheer for endless war and mass deportations, then claim to love your neighbor. It's a religious aesthetic masking a political weapon. Jesus wouldn't recognize some people in his fan club.

A Stanford oncologist watched her patient die of curable cancer. The patient couldn't get a follow-up appointment for months, so she consulted Instagram, a podcast, and politicians instead. The average wait to see a new doctor in the US is now 31 days. That void gets filled by something.

Wild story I shared a few weeks back but apparently this crazy guy just can't keep his mouth shut and actually do his job at FEMA. “That kind of violent rhetoric and wild conspiracy theories are troubling for someone who holds a leadership position at DHS.” ❗

This is a timely reminder of what scientific and technological progress can actually look like. I've seen people saying it should be a bigger story, and they're right. The Artemis II launch can be both an incredible moment and less 'important' than the attacks on civil rights, healthcare...

“This is an example of the continued hemorrhaging of scientific expertise that is very hard to recruit for and replace,” former CDC chief medical officer Deb Houry. “This lost capacity will result in all of us being less safe from health threats.”

💯 The bar for leadership is so low. We can't pretend like any of this is 'normal'.

Antimicrobial resistance kills more people globally than HIV and malaria combined. The PASTEUR Act would fund the pipeline of new antibiotics we desperately need. But Congress has sat on it for years...

Democracy Watch: The regime's rhetorical war on elections has seemed to only get more serious with time. They're attempting to shape who can vote in the midterms, how they vote, and what happens if they lose. WIRED recently summarized it all. Worth the read.... www.wired.com/story/this-i...

Several interviews with lawyers, detainees and their family members and elected officials depict … "detention facilities as places where disease and illness are rampant and detainees are often denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, medications and medical care.”

A story you may have missed: A California jury found Meta and YouTube liable for deliberately designing addictive products. First ruling of its kind. In the video below a reporter explains what it could mean for tech company/platform accountability going forward.

Absolutely insane. "The DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of [Trump 2.0], abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases."

Republicans are considering cuts to federal health spending to help fund a $200 billion bill for the Iran war and immigration enforcement. There's always money to bomb civilians across the world. But never enough for healthcare.

A quarter of the CDC workforce is gone. More than 3,000 people. The agency has had no permanent director for over six months. Staff who survived a shooting last summer say the bullet holes in the windows still haven't been fixed...

"The novel part, the MAGA addition, was aiming that machinery directly at the workers. Not just the institutions. The people." FEMA, public health, judges, election workers. The target list keeps growing. March situation report:

‼️

Happy No Kings Day. Kings lie about their 'enemies'. Kings defame the people trying to protect you. Kings dismantle the systems that hold them accountable. It's all about him and his rich friends, not protecting communities (all of us). March's situation report breaks down exactly how they did it.

“I was expecting an attack on climate science,” Dr. Marvel said. “I was expecting them to go after us. But actually, who they went after first was pediatric cancer research, Parkinson’s research, and childhood vaccines..." We've lost 95,000 people from the federal science agencies under Trump 2.0.😟

ICE told Columbia campus security they were police looking for a missing 5-year-old. Once inside, they arrested a student in her dorm room. It worked because impersonating law enforcement is, for ICE, mostly legal.

Only 23% of blue state requests have been granted vs 89% of red state requests...Trump is politicizing and weaponizing disaster relief🤬

The Pentagon issued guidance to commercial satellite companies telling them what words to avoid when describing damage from the Iran war. Not classified contractors. Public-facing companies that inform journalists, academics, and think tanks.

2,400 staff fired or resigned since January 2025. Employees said that the CDC has been largely leaderless since Trump took office with the only director lasting just 29 days, fired for asking to see scientific evidence before changing vaccine recommendations. 🧵

Measles was under control in the US for 25 years (just a few hundred cases each year). But it's now been continuously circulating for over a year. 47 states. 1,300 cases already in 2026. Pandemic researchers at Brown are calling it a warning sign for what could be coming....

Trump is 79. Schumer is 75. Maxine Waters is 87 and running for reelection. Average age of a U.S. Senator is 65. Median age of Americans is 38. People keep calling for generational change but the people who would have to make that happen don't seem like they are going anywhere.

The regime explicitly labels half the country the enemy and their resource allocation backs this up, showing their priorities. They provide near unlimited funding to build a domestic surveillance dragnet and secret police force, but cut cancer research and FEMA funding that goes to states....

Some analysts are projecting a Covid-level economic crash, this time with no pandemic. Trump's reckless actions are setting us down a scary path where a global depression may be the baseline scenario. www.wired.com/story/iran-w...

Active radicalization of FEMA: Greg Phillips runs FEMA's Office of Response and Recovery. He thinks vaccines were designed to kill people and urged podcast listeners to arm against migrants coming to murder them. They handed disaster response to a conspiracy theorist, nutjob with no experience.

It makes it difficult to track actual national security threats and investigate criminals when you purge the agency to install sycophants. Podcaster Kash Patel's gutting of the FBI is very shortsighted and reckless.

The CDC vaccine advisory head thinks we can skip measles vaccines because modern hospitals will just 'absorb the sick kids'. He clearly has not looked at a hospital budget in a decade...

"The speed with which American democracy is currently dismantled is unprecedented in modern history." Many of y'all saw the V-Dem report. I'd argue it has everything to do with public health and disaster preparedness....

This comes as ⅔ of US voters say their monthly electricity bills have gone up a lot over the past year. Nearly six in 10 also oppose the construction of new AI data centers where they live due to fears of higher electricity bills and AI-fueled job losses.

Wall Street is chasing AI hype while the physical world (grids and supply chains) is rotting. The 'models' can't handle a severed pipe. "Financial risk moves just prices. Physical risk moves the world." They're basically dumping money into a casino while the foundation fails.

"Like a typical corrupt authoritarian, the SAVE Act is a thinly veiled attempt by Trump to rig the midterm elections."

Really, @politico.com? C'mon, be honest and don't phrase it so mildly. "The secretary, a longtime anti-vaccine activist...overhauled the panel by stacking it with a supermajority of vaccine-skeptical members." ❌ What it should say: 👇

‼️

"As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my... wife... in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives."

Tech companies are flagging active mass shooter threats and just banning the accounts instead of calling the police. We should be suing these platforms into oblivion to force actual surveillance and accountability when they sit on this intelligence.

Good news. A judge has just BLOCKED some of Sec. Kennedy’s disastrous attacks on vaccines. This is an important victory for science and for our health, but the fight continues. Keep up the pressure.

Higher education is quietly scrubbing reality from the syllabus to avoid political retaliation. Professors are actively self-censoring lectures on basic science and data just to keep their jobs. Talk about authoritarian overreach...
