I feel like people aren’t hearing me:

We had four ‘1000 year floods’ in 4 different states last week and Trump’s passed budget completely defunds NOAA’s Severe Storm Research Lab.

State Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social, a Democratic candidate for the seat Rep. Mark Greed is leaving behind in TN-7, talks to @newsnation.bsky.social about the fact that less than 10% of Congress is under the age of 40.

Grok admits it and its AI counterparts have a net negative impact, “making me bad for the environment.” It projects “total AI-attributable deaths reaching 400-800 million over the next century if emissions and resource use continue unchecked.” 🧵

It is a searchable website, canarymission dot org. Targets academic professionals, scientists and more. Extremely disconcerting. But I agree that we are all probably in some database, some of our own doing, like FB, IG, twitter. I wonder if Bsky is under surveillance as well. Too easy to sign up

and there is a list called Canary Mission that doxxes and targets activists in the US and Canada, with the info being available to ice.

This is something. 👀

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Best one this morning

Exclusive | Hegseth Brought His Wife to Sensitive Meetings With Foreign Military Officials The defense secretary’s handling of sensitive information is under fire after he shared details about a strike on Houthi militants in a group chat on a widely used app.

IT GETS WORSE

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions.

Well well well Leon, what happened to free speech on Twitter 🤬 Keep up the good fight, @dropkickmurphys.com ✊🎶🎤

How a Push to Amend the Constitution Could Help Trump Expand Presidential Power A draft lawsuit being floated to attorneys general in several states argues Congress must call a convention over the national debt. But the legal theory mixes and matches petitions from states dating ...

There is nothing conservative about the conservative movement.

It is an astroturf effort by powerful business interests to preserve their own power. It treats the Constitution like video game testers treat an open beta—looking for exploits to circumvent democracy

In a movie ending, he flees the Country and is heading for Russia. But, poor maintenance on the plane causes it to crash in the middle of The Gulf of Zelensky.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Confirms Plan to Gut Medicare—and More Howard Lutnick has revealed Donald Trump’s true plans.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare.

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today.

The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office.

That's traumatizing.

YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen BREAKING: World leaders combine to issue SHOCKING rebuke of Trump

The world is united.

Against the United States of America.

Trump did that.

As @briantylercohen.bsky.social states below, Trump’s destroying our alliances in real time.

Listen as Brian reads responses from numerous world leaders after today’s shocking Oval Office travesty.

Trump intervention suspected as Andrew Tate, brother Tristan leave Romania for U.S. despite rape charges Four British women who've accused Andrew Tate of rape are "in disbelief and feel retraumatized by the news" that he's been allowed to leave Romania for the U.S.

Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges.

Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

Consequences of Undervaccination — Measles Outbreak, New York City, 2018–2019 | NEJM Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, but the risk of outbreaks owing to international importations remains. An outbreak of measles in New York City began when one unvaccina...

The failure of officials to transparently address this outbreak from the start is shameful. Current DOGE efforts to destroy public health infrastructure ensure these outbreaks will continue and the death toll will rise.

LETTER: “The three largest Catholic organizations in the country are urging Congress not to cut Medicaid to pay for (Trump’s tax cuts for the rich)”

All TN Republican reps voted to do exactly that.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald… you’ve have made America sign up with Russia... At one point, that would have been considered the act of a traitor. How do you defend this betrayal of your allies to the American people? If you think Canada is going to break right now, you’re in for a big shock.

Where are the voices of reason in the Republican Party, willing to put country first? Such profiles in cowardice!

America,

This is our Germany 1933 moment.

Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond.

This is beyond party, beyond country.

This is about our collective humanity.

My heart hurts for the innocent victims 🥲
