The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

Hassan YES. That’s it. Cloture passed by democrats to allow the CR to be enacted. Vote ongoing but the 8 Dems defected to get it across the line and it will get 60.

The grimmest realization is not the very old one that Trump is a hyper-sensitive narcissist who thinks criticizing him should be illegal. The grimmest realization is that a substantial number of Americans are born serfs, best suited for a monarchy, who thinks that’s manly and admirable and right.

Trump called to imprison his opponents in a speech at the DOJ today, labeling his courtroom opponents “scum,” judges “corrupt” and the prosecutors who investigated him “deranged."

My 80-year old and 78-year old mother and father rely on social security. This guy wants them to go get jobs? This isn’t leadership. It isn’t America first. They’re trying to screw veterans AND the elderly. It’s all a con.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid. Over a third of all children are covered by Medicaid. More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. Republicans in Congress are making a big mistake targeting these families’ health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

A federal judge has ruled DOGE is wielding so much power that its records will likely have to be opened to the public under federal law. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the "unprecedented" authority of DOGE warrant the release of documents under FOIA. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Judge orders urgent release of DOGE records, citing ‘unprecedented’ power and ‘unusual secrecy’
It’s the first significant ruling in a growing legal push to pierce DOGE’s secretive veil, a decision that undercuts Musk’s repeated insistence about the operation’s transparency.

Measles cases in Texas and New Mexico now number over 250, with two deaths being linked to the outbreak. (For comparison, the US had 285 cases of measles in all of 2024). Measles isn't just a rash. For @wired.com, I wrote about why the disease can be so deadly: www.wired.com/story/this-i...
