2013 — that's when the American right fell in love with Putin. "But in 2013, Mr. Putin opened a salvo against gay people when he signed a bill outlawing the dissemination of what it described as 'gay propaganda.'" This is what they want to do here. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/w...

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

We are hearing from CDC sources that the communication pause has been indefinitely extended. Communication is KEY to public health. In addition to not being able to share information with the public, there is no communication with state and local officials, who are vital public health partners.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

We are still learning about all the webpages that have been taken down, but they include: contraception and reproductive rights, STI treatment guidelines, youth risk behavior survey data, CDC's health education analysis tool, resources for the LGBTQ community, and intimate partner violence. 💔

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind. abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

Second, resistance doesn't have to be a dramatic act. It can be a small act, like losing a sheet of paper, taking your time processing something, not serving someone in a restaurant. Small acts taken by thousands have big effects.

Dems can: -oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn -deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings -vote no on all cloture -force quorum calls at every chance It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

A memo leaked to the Associated Press reveals that the White House has told the U.S. CDC to stop working with the WHO immediately. This breaks protocol which requires the approval of Congress and a one-year notice to leave the WHO.
