While we’re all laughing how Senator Schmitt’s gotcha blew up in his face we’re missing the bigger insanity. He was trying to create a conspiracy that if Smith and Willis were in the same city at the same time it meant that they must have been plotting against Trump. Nuttier than squirrel poop.

ICE shooting unarmed innocent people is bad. Really bad. Inexcusable. Racist and gullible people really believe that all 50 million immigrants are dangerous and deserve this violence. But... cops are way worse than ICE. There have only been 13 days in 2026 when cops *didn't* shoot someone.🤷🏿‍♂️

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

American farmers and ranchers had USAID buying crops, SNAP buying food, cheap immigrant labor, cheap fertilizer and favorable trade deals. Then they chose Trump and threw it all away. — 'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs man who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party."

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

A Republican talking point r/t measles is to blame immigrants. Ignoring low vaccination rates and the high contagiousness allows them to fall back on the old trope of the “dirty immigrant”. “Don’t encourage prevention when you can blame someone else” is their motto.

Moderna and Merck just announced the first successful phase 3 trial of a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine. They used AI (ML, not LLMs) to analyze each patient’s tumor mutations and choose up to 34 targets for a custom vaccine that trains their immune system to attack the cancer.

I’ve seen a few people commenting today that the idea of separating the MMR vaccine into three separate shots might be a good strategy to get anti-vax parents to vaccinate. Absolutely not. Here’s why. First, countering anti-vax misinformation is like playing whack a mole. You bat down one lie…

Why should you care if childhood vaccination rates are dropping in your community? 1. All kids deserve to be protected from vaccine-preventable disease. 2. There are people who can’t be vaccinated, such as babies who are too young. If everyone around them is vaccinated, they’re protected.

Relitigating 2020 COVID response reminds me that if Trump had worried less about the stock market and his reelection, and more on the treatment and reducing spread, he probably would have won the election. He showed he was probably the worst person possible to be in charge.

They can't protect you from fascism or racism. They can only report on it after you save yourself, and try to sell you a book about how they knew all along. They've been late to, and on the wrong side of, every civil rights movement in the history of this country, not just back to the 60s.
