Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States. Vaccines prevent measles. Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Republicans Love Trump’s Spending Cuts. Just Not in Their States.
Even as they praise the president’s unilateral actions to slash federal spending, G.O.P. lawmakers have quietly moved to seek carve outs or exemptions for their own constituents.

Editing scientific content for political purity is turning MMWR into a compromised propaganda organ. And why are the propaganda squads at CDC replacing specifically H5N1 bird flu studies? I’ve got some pretty serious fascism- and flu-related concerns about this.

In 1985 in Africa 25 vaxxed children were compared with 25 unvaxxed for 5 years. In the vaxxed group one got mild measles while 4 had suspected whooping cough. Among the unvaxxed 11 got measles leading to 2 deaths & an unvaxxed child died of tetanus. This is why we don't do these studies anymore.

From USAID colleague, with permission to share. It's not just chaos it is devastation and tearing apart of families and communities. Not to talk of systems that kept us safe. This is just one story, multiple this by 10,000. Is this really making America great?

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.
