One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

🚨 3.4 million Californians are at risk of losing Medi-Cal under Republicans’ Big Ugly Law. Not because they refuse to work, but because of bureaucratic red tape and burdensome paperwork. www.latimes.com/california/s...

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

If Trump does nothing in response to a Russian attack on Poland, "Europeans will have to stop fooling themselves and face the fact that the Americans really aren’t there for them," Robert Kagan argues:

NEW: Senate Republicans have BLOCKED Schumer's effort to release the Epstein files. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

tfw you've just stripped healthcare from 17 million Americans and ensured the closure of rural hospitals

The Netanyahu Regime is out of control and out of its mind. This is the most deranged Israeli politics has been in my lifetime. Whatever sickness infected parts of America has infected Israel also. There’s a sadism—a bloodlust—behind Israeli policy that has nothing to do with Judaism or goodness.

I love my beloveds with autism, and each and every single person I know who has autism has demonstrable talents (music, physics, visual art) and panache galore, unlike the joyless ghoul RFK jr. Cannot wait until this administration is in the rearview mirror

Right now, Republicans are trying to pass a budget vote in the Rules Committee under the cover of night! Reps. @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social, @scanlon.house.gov, and @fernandez.house.gov spoke with protesters outside on the Capitol steps about Republicans’ plan to take a chainsaw to Medicaid.

HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are shamefully planning to slash Medicaid in the middle of the night. Americans are here with a clear demand: HANDS OFF MEDICAID!

Rep. Seth Moulton: "The big thing about this bill that people aren't talking about is what it does to the deficit. This reconciliation plan will add over $5 trillion to the deficit...Democrats need to do a better job of talking about the debt."

NEW: A House committee just advanced a bill to cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid that would devastate the lives of disabled people and throw millions off the program. The bill could get a full House vote as soon as next week. Tell your representative NOW to reject these cuts.

Highly recommend reading OWNED. It connected a number of dots I was aware of, but didn't understand their relations.

So many layers of corruption.

Who gave the order to arrest Ras Baraka while he was on public property complying with an officers order? And who was the officer who shoved the Congresswoman? We need names.

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

According to an email viewed by WIRED, the Integrated Research Facility in Frederick, Maryland was told to stop all experimental work by April 29 at 5 pm. It has 168 employees, including federal workers and contractors. “The sacrifice to research is immense."

Florida officials took $10M from a Medicaid fraud settlement - meant for taxpayers - and sent it to Casey DeSantis’ foundation. That money flowed to dark money groups and a DeSantis-run PAC. It funded political ads, not aid. This is misuse of public funds at the highest level.

This dystopian time line needs a reboot.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Yo, sandiskstorage.bsky.social. Just purchased a "enterprise" class G-Drive that failed on the second use for backups. Told by support to just send back to Amazon - even through it has my encrypted data on it. Horrible security policy. #LostMeAsCustomer

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Seems like this should’ve been a bigger deal. 🤷🏼‍♂️ www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A second school-aged child in West Texas has died from a measles-related illness, a hospital spokesman confirmed Sunday, as the outbreak continues to swell.

Never forget, this isn't just Trump and Musk. This is the entire Republican Party supporting the destruction of our economy. The USA will never be able to rebuild itself. Our allies and enemies know we are an unserious country with a radial arm.

We’re hungry for some hope. We’re looking for some guidance. We’re casting about for role models. We’re listening for someone to say: This is not the America we’ve been working toward. This is not normal. In Booker’s speech, we heard it. My column. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/04/03/h...

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

Today, at the Justice Department's urging, a judge dismissed a serious corruption case against the Mayor of New York. Not because there was any lack of evidence. Not because of any misconduct by the prosecutors…

BREAKING: The Department of Health and Human Services has fired every single worker in its program that helps low-income Americans pay their energy bills. thehill.com/policy/energ...

BREAKING: BISIGNANO LIES UNDER OATH @wyden.senate.gov: Were you involved in discussions about DOGE or any of the operations, personnel or management decisions with those working at Social Security? Bisignano: No, sir. Wyden: That sounds like a reassuring response. Unfortunately, it's not true.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Love this ... Count me in.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social: "I continue to think that we are in the middle of a soft coup. The military is not out on the streets...But what we are seeing is someone who is attacking all of the norms and institutions of government." Watch the full interview: youtu.be/wL04uJ9W5kM

WIRED spoke to federal staffers across agencies about how Elon Musk's $1 spending limit is crippling their research, resources and more. In many cases, employees are already unable to carry out the basic functions of their job.

It's not ego, it is treason. He is a traitor working for the Russian government foreign oligarchs. Let's not reduce this to a matter of ego when we are facing acts of high treason.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Jane Fonda took the stage at Sunday’s SAG Awards to deliver a call to arms for a movement—a movement, one would presume, against the current Trump administration.

This is so disturbing. A woman was violently attacked by Republicans at a town hall in Idaho because she had the nerve to speak up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-y1...

The fourth book in the NYT-bestselling Proof Series has been made free to the public (click below to read). A main character is Kash Patel. The focus is on the last time Trump tried to use the Pentagon to amplify an intended overthrow of American democracy. It’s information all Americans need now.

Urgent: Take 30 seconds to tell Congress to oppose ALL cuts to Medicaid during the budget process! p2a.co/gYLSnnt

3. The Trump administration has ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to indefinitely postpone a public meeting of its vaccine advisory panel, a key forum for discussing vaccine safety and effectiveness.
