This is what I’ve been reporting on for months. Agencies are taking money and repurposing it against Congressional instructions, and there’s no way to know what they are taking the money from or what they are using it for.

Be sure to let everyone know that Donald Trump wants to use $20B in your taxpayer dollars to bail out a foreign country and help their leader win an election. finance.yahoo.com/news/bessent...

Shocking. The rollback of climate policies of Trump Administration is most systematic, comprehensive, fast, impactful we ever analysed. Good part: still many forces in USA work towards a zero GHG emissions, can be seen especially here at #ClimateWeekNYC, starting today.

Shelby County, where Musk’s xAI facility sits, has Tennessee’s highest rate of ER visits for asthma. For the majority-Black residents of the area, emissions from the company’s methane gas turbines exacerbate longstanding public health concerns. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Can't believe they don't want to stay in a place that will put them in chains, parade them in front of cameras, then hold them in dirty overcrowded cells for over a week while threatening them and making racist jokes.

I wondered this when announced. How does a company (OpenAI) that is losing money and has relatively small revenue ($12B) pay Oracle $300B over 5 years??? Seems like MANY users have to start paying and a lot of bonds / IPO funds.

He's right, and it's not just Brazil. Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

The iceberg, known as A23a, has been on a journey following the current into warmer waters for months. Now, it has begun the predicted and natural process of breaking apart, and eventually melting.

It's not as simple as "we are getting dumber." We are seeing a coordinated attack on science and the use of misinformation to target people who are vulnerable to scammers and grifters. This isn't something that's just happening; it's all part of a plan.

The AMA strongly opposes Florida’s plan to end all vaccine mandates, and urges Florida to reconsider. This unprecedented rollback would undermine decades of public health progress and place children and communities at increased risk. spr.ly/63328ABvBq

Fun fact: an enslaved African man named Onesimus taught his enslaver, Cotton Mather, how to innoculate Puritans from smallpox during an epidemic in 1721. He saved an untold number of lives.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

I got out of my shift in the ED today and saw this. Our jobs in HC are tough. Caring for people who are sick and die takes a toll. The idea that we will have to care for sick children who could have avoided illness through vaccines is truly heartbreaking. history will not judge these monsters well.

Authoritarianism...never thought I would see it here.

There’s a widespread myth that Americans hate traffic cameras. It’s simply not true. On the contrary, researchers have consistently found that Americans broadly support using automatic enforcement to curb crashes. And for good reason: It works. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

Remember that 52 Republican Senators voted to confirm RFK Jr. All the people who are going to die because of his idiocy is on them. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

It's the guns. Universal background checks save lives and are supported by a supermajority of voters, but GOP Congress prevents a vote on the floor of the House and Senate. #firearmsafety #universalbackgroundchecks

"Minnesota has permissive gun laws. Yesterday showed us what that means for kids." by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

No, it's not any of that. It's the guns.

Meta builds giant datacenter in rural Louisiana. Utility to add 2.3 GW of gas turbines to power it, if they can source the turbines in a sold-out global market. And just to be sure, the Louisiana Legislature passed a new law that adds natural gas to the definition of green energy... Climate anyone?

From Paul Krugman’s latest newsletter:

Phil Eng deserves awards... www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/25/m...

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

It's not going to happen of course, but tonight is another Goldwater-Rhodes moment. Has a single journalist even bothered to try & track down Speaker Johnson or Senate Majority Leader Thune & ask them why they're not doing their damn jobs or upholding their damn oaths while the Constitution burns?

A proposal to watch. The NJ Congressional Rep. Mikie Sherrill is running for governor of her state, and promises to freeze all utility rate hikes on Day One of her governorship. archive.is/oAB3M

Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.

Interest rates will be rising! "Trump Removes Lisa Cook From Federal Reserve Board...A legally dubious maneuver that could undermine the independence of the nation’s central bank" www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Earlier this year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced massive cuts to federal health agencies. The Trump administration has refused to say how many workers have been lost so far. But a new ProPublica analysis gives a detailed view.

Unbelievable warmth in the Arctics Weeks with temperatures >20C at 75 latitude in the Arctic coast of Russia. This is absolutely insane and nothing like this had ever happened. Even at 80 latitude there hasn t been any frost for nearly 6 weeks. Mind blowing persistently abnormal

At least three people died in a mass shooting in a Target parking lot in Austin on Monday. The suspect has a "mental health" and criminal history, local authorities said. Texans may want to know why their GOP leaders just banned a proven legal tool for preventing this www.cnn.com/2025/08/11/u...
