Go follow my org @standupforscience.bsky.social we are mobilizing the fight for science and democracy!

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

We don't give enough credit to journalists who risk life and limb to bring us the truth

My opinion of myself is rooted in my objective determination that I'm a swell guy. (I have vetted this with my wife and cat.)

Yes. Never let up. Never stand down.

Some ideas: * A legislative end to “Kavanaugh stops.” * Ending qualified immunity for federal law enforcement officers. * Mandating that federal law enforcement officers cannot wear masks and must display identifying badges/markings at all times. * Closing the “emergency” loopholes that the administration has claimed for everything from tariffs to acts of war. * Removing the secretary of state’s discretionary power to revoke visas. Or my personal favorite: * Release all of the Epstein files. 🧾 https://is.gd/aHOuD6

As I posted yesterday, @jvl.bsky.social is spot-on in terms of D strategy to win the shutdown (is.gd/aHOuD6).

Make Trump/Rs *own this*, not save them from the BBB (ACA subsidies/Medicaid cuts), full ICE funding, etc. Trump will use rescissions to cut what he wants anyway, so go to the wall...

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

Again, if you think the creation of the Department of Defense in 1947 had anything to do with “woke” politics you should not be allowed to operate a car much less the entire American military.

Idiocracy was unrealistic only because we got dumber quicker than the movie anticipated

…is not something he is allowed to do. But he’s doing it, so good people have to figure out how to humanely and properly respond.

It does not matter what the Supreme Court blesses or doesn’t, just remember: he’s not actually allowed to do this. Not in a truly free nation of laws and order

"CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss" is the exact same deal as "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth"

Director of Eisenhower Library in Kansas ousted after refusing to give Trump administration a sword The director of the presidential library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, said he was suddenly told to resign or be fired. He refused to give the Trump administration a historic sword from the museum’s collection.

BREAKING: The director of the presidential library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, said he was suddenly told to resign or be fired. He refused to give the Trump administration a historic sword from the museum’s collection.

The Trump regime wanted to give King Charles one of President Eisenhower’s swords.

The head of the Eisenhower Library objected and suggested a replica, since the swords are owned by the American people now.

The Trump regime got pissed and the head of the Eisenhower Library has now resigned.

Trump games the press, so maybe change the rules? | Press Watch There’s a new playbook for covering people like him

This was so cringe and embarrassing. Trump filled the White House with tacky gold, while tarnishing our reputation in the world.

The Trump administration discovers "conflict of interest." A day after this happened.

New York Times: "Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference." The White House asked nine top universities to pledge support for President Trump’s agenda to help ensure access to research funding.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY.

CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Thank you text with stats: 1,098 backpacks were donated for the 2025 Cornell Elves Backpack Program

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the amazing supporters nationwide, a record-breaking 1,098 backpacks were donated for the 2025 Cornell Elves Backpack Program! 🥳 🎉

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia With Biden, AI Mode will provide a summarized answer.

"Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query “does trump show signs of dementia” as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents."

+1000

I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email

This is correct.

If you heard someone in an assisted-living facility rambling on this way, you'd be talking with the doctors about appropriate next levels of care.

No kidding.

And every officer in the room has to realize it.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Such a performative nitwit. Though I think he’ll be great on Dancing With the Stars in 2029 versus Kristi Noem.

What are they scared? Anyways, this is where the secondary market comes in.

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.
