Dr. Oz is disastrously wrong, of course. But, I will take the opportunity to talk about real population science, shall I? (Impromptu Thread) To start off, this is immensely racist and adjacent to the "Great Replacement" racist conspiracy theory. It is a delusional fantasy.

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social @brianstelter.bsky.social Crazy that every single journalist has not sent a letter of protest to the WH regarding Trump’s behaviour towards women reporters. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social @allinwithchris.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

Dobbs was supposed to return the question of abortion to the states to decide. Yeah, right. A ruling on Friday by a federal panel in Louisiana in fact just imposed a nationwide requirement of in-person dispensation for a popular abortion medication. My write-up in the replies.

While Donald Trump's reckless and costly war with Iran forces families to pay more for gas and groceries, his Big Oil donors are profiting from his attempt to illegally restart the Sable pipeline. California is demanding the court block this flagrant abuse of power.

‼️1/2 Trump regime continues its rampage to hurt the most vulnerable (incl many MAGA fams). @propublica.org: WH proposed rule change would slash benefits or end support for up to 400K SSI recipients w/disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits. 🧾 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

MEDIA: do your job! His cries for his bunker-ballroom have nothing to do with the Correspondent's Dinner. It was a private event, not a gov't event. So unless he's looking to rent the ballroom for weddings & Bar Mitzvahs, it would not have been held at the WH It's the media's job to POINT THAT OUT

Hey folks, who’s watching the California governor debate tonight? I’m looking for every Dem on that stage to take it to the Republicans, no soft-pedaling, no playing nice. What are you looking for tonight? Tonight, Wednesday, April 22, 7 PM PT on KTLA. Link to watch in 🧵

Tax breaks for data centers in North Carolina keep as much as $57 million each year out of state and local government coffers, state figures show, an amount that could balloon to billions of dollars if all the proposed projects are built. From our colleagues at @insideclimatenews.org:

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

I'm tired of a President like no one has ever seen before. And his 400 hundred word vocabulary.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

A federal panel voted to exempt oil and gas companies from complying with the Endangered Species Act when drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. The decision will have outsize impact on endangered species such as Rice’s whales, sea turtles and whooping cranes. https://wapo.st/3QbEeMn

The British Parliament still has 92 unelected lawmakers who inherit seats by bloodline. They're all older white men. A new law now phases them out, for the first time in nearly 1,000 years.
