Imagine living in a more benign country that had healthcare plans that planned to better the health of its citizens instead of cutting benefits.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

If Orwell were alive today - “In a world where every citizen’s secrets are catalogued and every whisper is watched, the most powerful names vanish into the blank spaces of official memory. The list did not exist, and so, in the eyes of the Party, it never had.”

Kennedy, Makary, and Bhattacharya announced on X that they are pulling recommendations for Covid vaccines. They will no longer be part of the childhood vaccination schedule, and they're no longer recommended for pregnant people. There's a process for changing recs. It's not posting a video on X.

Screenshot of @SecKennedy's X post: "Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from
@CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS’s promise to Make America Healthy Again."

The post includes a video of three men, Marty Makary (head of FDA), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (head of HHS), and Jay Bhattacharya (head of NIH). Notably, there's no head of CDC present.

He missed the deadline to submit a single form 10 years ago, amidst family grief when his wife suffered a stillbirth. He did nothing illegal. Paid his taxes, completed citizenship documentation. But once you activate a police state, they don't care about individual circumstances.

If this budget passes it will impact the lives of trans adults on Medicare and in time as private health insurance tends to follow Medicare minimums in the private sector too. No HRT for trans-men or trans-women has serious side effects as bone density will decrease amongst other issues.

Trump is begging China to talk to him but China is telling him to go fuck himself until he drops the tariffs. When he drops the tariffs then we will think about talking NOT BEFORE!!!!!!!

Ever have a day when you wake up with two morning meetings, both get bumped, the vet calls, you realise Skype has been retired so you look for your old swag and photos, and now you don't know what you should be doing ?

You have been working on a spreadsheet late at night and had one of your cats come by for pets, and in the process walk across your keyboard. Now a bunch of cells are showing #REF! and I am too tired to figure out how to get it back ! Yes, I did try Undo.

Good to see Rabbis speaking out on this government effort to suppress dissenting voices cloaked as a defense of the Jewish community. We *do* need to do more to combat anti-Semitism, but this is not the way to do it.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The attempt to shut down Voice of America reminds of me of bygone travel with my trusty shortwave radio and WRTH, and sending postcards from new places. Would that have made me an analogue nomad ?

I worked at The Bay one summer in the shoe department, next to 317. I used to have both a Bay and Simpsons credit card and used them a lot, so this news makes me sad. I wonder if it's too late now to get a blanket ? Any tips appreciated.

This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%. A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time. Some products cross the U.S. border even more than that.

Heading: Tariffs could push up costs for car industry. The graphic shows a map, with 5 steps in the manufacture of a piston.

1. Powdered aluminium sent from Tennessee
2. Turned into rods in Pennsylvania
3. Shipped to Canada, Canadian tariff paid at border, rods shaped and polished in Canada
4. Rods sent to Mexico for assembly into pistons. Direct transfers from Canada to Mexico do not incur tariffs.
5. Shipped to Michigan. US tariff paid at border. Pistons become part of engine in Michigan.
