This is so grim. Science isn’t just something nerds do, but the foundation of the modern world. What the Trump regime has done to US science will harm Americans for generations.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

Don’t let Russell Vought trick Congress into destroying science by removing multiyear funding limits from the NIH funding bill.

Multi-year funding is a dirty trick by #RussellVought. This way the #Trump administration can say they're spending what Congress appropriated for research, BUT they'll only fund 1/5 the number of grants. Call your Senators/Reps now. Science hangs in the balance. H/T @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

2025 had the least jobs added to the economy outside of a recession in over 20 years. People can’t afford groceries or healthcare, and Republicans are focused on running Venezuela.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

In Donald Trump’s America — beating law enforcement with flag poles gets you pardoned, but attempting to drive away from law enforcement gets you punished by death.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Make it viral.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

RFK Jr. and his anti-vax ACIP are responsible for doing harm to generations of Americans living in the shadow of his anti-science leadership, and Hep. B is just the tip of the iceberg It's time for Congress to impeach and remove RFK Jr. No ifs, no buts. Enough is enough. #ImpeachtheQuack

Every time ACIP meets, Bill Cassidy (R, Coward City) makes pathetic mewling sounds about how bad the committee is. It is Bill Cassidy’s fault that ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body. Sir, you are a fucking U.S. Senator. Impeach RFK Jr or STFU.

That’s Trump’s message to millions of struggling families. Your suffering isn't real. It's a hoax, just like the Epstein files!

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

“This is what corruption looks like,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said about a firm with ties to Kristi Noem secretly working on a DHS ad campaign. “They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.”

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

If Trump were as focused on costs as he is on investigating his political opponents… Maybe families wouldn't be so worried about how they're going to afford health insurance… or groceries… or childcare… or rent. But he doesn't care about you. He only cares about himself.

This is a fucking DISGRACE. The Republicans of the United States Congress are permitting a man to spew dangerous and harmful disinformation to the public. This is dangerous. This will kill infants and children. Republicans DO NOT CARE about babies after they are born www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

Apparently RFK Jr. promised Senator Bill Cassidy that he wouldn’t remove the statement “Vaccines do not cause autism” from the CDC website. So what RFK Jr. did instead is spit in his face by leaving the statement there and adding this:

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Yesterday, President Trump tried to justify the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by saying "things happen." Today, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that condemned his murder. The Republican party's refusal to stand up for a free & fair press endangers journalists worldwide.

Mother Jones: Former models for Trump’s agency say they violated immigration rules and worked illegally. Melania came here illegally, married a pedophile, had his baby, lives a life of luxury, and contributes nothing of value to society. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

The President is begging the courts to let him CAUSE hunger. Who does that?

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

James Talarico, a Texas Democrat running for U.S. Senate who has put his faith at the forefront of his campaign, follows several adult film performers, escorts and OnlyFans models on Instagram, according to an Axios review.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

Nice of @ajkd.bsky.social to recognize this! Congrats to @karenwoomd.bsky.social @nephcrit.bsky.social @amyaimei.bsky.social and all the others! ajkdblog.org/2025/11/06/2... #NephSky #KidneyWk

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.
