Dozens of researchers will move to France from US following high-profile bid to lure talent. Large proportion worked at Columbia University, which had its grants cut and frozen by the administration of US President Donald Trump. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hegseth, among others, is using the school as a punching bag to express the generic social anxiety and status-based resentment that drives much of the MAGA movement. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is a brilliant piece.

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump. The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files. What else are they hiding?

Science for the win!!

My corgi Clyde could have done a better job running the Post

10/10 no notes

Wait ‘til he hears about the guy who reposted it.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

Are they going to also "blame a staffer" for Obama permanently living, 24/7, rent-free in his head? #pathetic

"Titanic" but after the "I'm king of the world!" scene Leo says racist stuff about everyone in steerage and throws them overboard, gilds the Titanic and renames it after himself, then personally steers it *way* out of the Caribbean and into an iceberg

We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

I’ve faced off against this delusional loser of a President before, and I’ve won. I hope you’ll consider chipping in a few bucks so that we can continue that fight in Congress. secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_g...

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country. But when we see our criminal, delusional, President, we feel none of those things. I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I hope this happens every day for the rest of his miserable life lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

I'm old enough to remember writing an oped on this particular subject www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/geo...

Trump says he worries about "nuclear" as the world's biggest problem, but he's letting the last major arms treaty - one even the Russians want - lapse. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Saying something like “this is not normal” would go a long way in cutting through this BS. Either that or “LOL Ms. Leavitt”

Trump is paraphrasing the far less well known scripture portion known as the “Sir-man on the mount” where Jesus advises a sycophantic military leader on how to most effectively and sadistically murder his opponents. Not many people know about those passages.

Sir you are at a prayer breakfast

So many examples of symptoms of mental illness in one speech…..

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

Hard to imagine an event more effective at discrediting organized religion

Jesus wept.

Medical & child welfare professionals have said repeatedly that family detention is especially harmful to children, leading to life-long emotional & mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, & weight loss, among other physical & behavioral health problems.

I think Washington, DC is about to become the largest city in the Western world without a newspaper with local news and sports coverage. To kill a civic institution of this importance, in the Capital of the world's most important democracy, is just staggering, irremediable malevolence from Bezos.

There's zero reason for this. WoPo is owned by the 3rd richest person in the world. 🤬

Conway: If you want your lives to be better and you want this country to persevere for your kids, we need to impeach and remove this fascist fucker now, as soon as possible. And I know that language is tough, but that’s where we are.

under different circumstances this is congressional-inquiry level scandal

Shouldn’t be this hard—NIH director admits after being grilled by @sanders.senate.gov : 1) The best way to stop the measles epidemic is to vaccinate your kids against measles. 2) no single vaccine causes autism. RFK Jr is wrong.

“The email chain from Ito also suggests that Bitcoin’s mysterious developer — the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto — may have in fact been five “core developers,” each of whom was in talks with Epstein.”

@radiofreetom.bsky.social when the Death of Expertise comes for the Pope

This behavior is below the dignity of the presidency, or the dignity of any self-respecting person in society frankly. Republicans back a president they would never tell their own children to behave like.

Yes, by all means, yell at the Democrats. But everyone seems to find excuses why they must be the <only> people getting yelled at, & it’s exhausting. It makes everyone look deeply unserious about actually getting anything done.

With the last significant nuclear-arms-control treaty about to expire, "the world is about to get a little more dangerous this week," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/azdk6Duu

The definition of a VULGAR human being.

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.

I hope America, one day soon, has a president who doesn’t call his citizens “sleaze bags” - is it too much to ask for?

Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture? MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Is there any other job where you can choose to not do the parts of your job that you’re not interested in doing and still keep your job?

That's why I'm running for Congress. You can help here: georgeconwayforcongress.com

That’s some real Golden Age stuff here.

the president is psychotic. in reality, his numbers are near all-time lows.
