Just imagine what Fox News and the GOP would say if a Democratic President said/says, “I can do whatever I want, if I want…” The cognitive dissonance is deafening.

I think the White House press core should not cover Trump live anymore. Just have still images. Not hearing his voice and all the lies he spews is such a relief.

OK, interweb’s people, is there any kind of list of Canadian products that we folks here in the United States can buy? I’d love to purchase Canadian products if I can, but I don’t know where to start!

Shame on Google for caving in to Trump‘s deranged renaming of Lake Ontario.

The longer the Iran war goes on, the more Trump will start to consider using nuclear weapons. And his enablers will facilitate it. There is no line Trump will not cross.

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

Donald Trump thinks the sun rises because he wakes up in the morning. If you met anyone like him in your normal life, you’d know immediately that they were crazy. Yet somehow, his kind of “exceptionalism” is seen as strength by a significant number of Americans. Nope, Trump is just f’ing looney.

I’ll just make this prediction now: before Donald Trump is out of office, he will use nuclear weapons. There is no line this man will not cross.

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

Worth reposting. Every Republican would have howled with red-faced rage if Obama had done 1/1000th of what Donald Trump is doing now:

So let me get this straight: you can’t tell if a person is innocent or guilty by their tattoos? Would seeing if they float work?

I know there are many matters that are far more urgent, but the decimation of the NEA and termination of arts grants breaks my heart and hits close to home: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/03/a...

The National Endowment for the Arts Begins Terminating Grants
The endowment told arts organizations that it was withdrawing or canceling current grants just hours after President Trump proposed eliminating the agency in the next fiscal year.
