Should add that while RFK Jr. is talking about how autism destroys families, the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the father of an #ActuallyAutistic child to El Salvador and says without evidence that he's a member of MS-13.

After mass firings, the IRS is poised to close audits of wealthy taxpayers. IRS agents say that current audits of rich people and corporations could be closed down prematurely. The Treasury Department estimates that the 1% account for $163 billion in unpaid taxes each year.

Between 1978 and 2023, top CEO compensation shot up 1,085%. The typical workers' compared went up just 24% .  Workers deserve more, but they're hoarding it at the top.
Hard to swallow pills. $20/hr isn't "too much for a burger flipper," we're all being underpaid so a handful of billionaires can buy their 3rd private jet.

Throwback to John McCain's words after Trump met with Putin: "President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press."
“Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake.

“President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world."

I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...
You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.

Wow. DOGE is far more expensive than the USDS that it pretends to be. www.propublica.org/article/doge...
Since then, the funding has ballooned; the most recent apportionment came on Feb. 8 and included a $14 million chunk described as part of a “software modernization initiative.” *In all, ProPublica found, more than $39 million has been earmarked to DOGE in the Trump administration’s first month.*

For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50 million a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted, budget records show.

Nearly 1.6 million Massachusetts residents use Medicaid. Yet, Republicans want to gut the program & attack the Affordable Care Act so they can give trillions in tax breaks to their billionaire friends. This is Trump’s Project 2025 in action.
A graphic that reads:

Medicaid covers 41% of all births in the U.S., 61% of long-term care, and 38% of health care for children.

Now Republicans want to cut Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks.
