🚨🚨 🧵1/6 #FedFam, reporters - urgent help needed 🚨CDC Museum (a Smithsonian affiliate) is being shuttered🚨 Staff are being “un-RIFed” just to close the museum permanently — then RIFed again in Jan This is bureaucratic cruelty & cultural vandalism CDC Library is a national treasure #SaveCDCLibrary

"We have to come up with a believable plot beat to bring James Bond back" is such a funny quandary. No IP is less required to do that. It's like going to summer school by choice.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Devastated that John Tesh has parted ways with his guitarist who looked exactly like Nick Saban with a wig

Checking in from Pilsen, one of Chicago’s vibrant Latino communities, where a mariachi band is helping cheer on the 50K+ #chicago marathon runners. Happy place, not a hellhole.

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

War ravaged Portland

There is an increase of federal agents in Portland. We did not ask for this. We do not need this. And we certainly will not be divided by this. We stand united in our values and reject this egregious abuse of power.

This has maybe been the most uninformed and dangerous “health” press conference held by the U.S. government in my lifetime.   Don’t listen to Trump or RFK Jr. when it comes to vaccines, Tylenol, or anything having to do with your health—talk to your doctor.   My god.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

How are Trump's economic policies impacting you? Let me give you a hard example. 🧵

LIFE GOALS 1. Raise happy children 2. Be old dude at grand rounds who falls asleep

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

If you're wondering how cuts to public broadcasting would most affect the Pacific Northwest, it's going to be in our Indigenous serving stations and rural stations. These are vital communications in news deserts. @anomalily.net covers it all.

The Senate is voting TODAY on cuts to PBS, rural radio, and so much more. It's local journalism, lifesaving emergency alerts, and quality educational programming for our kids. Public media is free for everyone—let's protect it. I will be voting NO.

As the Trump administration's crackdown continues, traffic stops have become increasingly important tools of enforcement. It has led many immigrants to take alternate modes of transportation.

As a reminder: There’s still joy in the world. Here’s “Weird Al” Yankovic singing “You Can Call Me Al” at Pine Knob last week. youtu.be/TW4nsoiR_xs?...

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Toto 😂

OpenEvidence is generally very good, but it's occasionally horrifically wrong One place it falls down a lot is drug allergy (where it's often too conservative) There are NO absolute contraindications to acetylcysteine for acetaminophen OD Reported "allergy" = anaphylactoid rxns... (#1/3) #EMIMCC

The Democratic Doctors Caucus gathered outside Speaker Johnson’s Office to tell the American people the truth that House Republicans don’t want you to know: Medicaid cuts will kill Americans.

Today, USAID shuts down. Experts say this could lead to 14 million deaths by 2030—including 4.5 million babies and children under 5. Let’s not forget, Trump recently let a warehouse full of food aid rot rather than feed the hungry. This isn’t America first. It’s America heartless.

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

“Birthright Citizenship” by Clay Bennett

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

No, they took the NBA by SuperSonics. The Storm are still in Seattle.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

These amorphous virtues of gentility that certain people love to invoke — nonviolence, civility, respectfulness, peacefulness, maturity — are worse than empty without accounting for differential power. A power differential is the difference between me running into a car, and a car running into me.

I hope you'll listen to Rachel as she shares her son’s story.   Nate is a disabled adult who relies on Medicaid. Medicaid makes Nate's life & dreams possible—it means freedom. Cuts to Medicaid eliminate those freedoms.   Help share Nate's story & join me in saying: NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

Doctors say that vaccines do not cause autism. X-user @cryptomaga1488 says that they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

From Stat Boy to legend, @tonyreali.bsky.social brought life to the sports world and our homes (and podcast feeds) for so long with Around The Horn. It was the soundtrack of my adulthood, and I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss the show. I can hope one day I have the chance to thank Tony in person.

Dr. Oz had a psychic medium on his show multiple times and claimed that communicating with your dead loved ones through medium provided health benefits, as well as claiming that he had “brain scans” proving that psychics enter “a different stage of consciousness.” But he doesn’t believe in Medicaid

If you’re not on Medicaid, you still benefit from it in more ways than I can possibly fit even into multiple posts. People around you will die. People you care about will die. You will be at risk for suffering serious harm & dying when you cannot access things like “hospital” that depend on Medicaid

This is most Menards thing I’ve ever seen

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done
