So sorry to hear this. Many condolences to her husband and family. Also, surprised to learn that Chris was a woman. I don't know how I missed that, considering how rabid a fan I was back in the day.

RFK Jr. Vowed to Find the Environmental Causes of Autism. Then He Shut Down Research Trying to Do Just That. While touting a $50 million initiative to identify the causes of autism, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is helping lead an administration that is rolling back protections against pollution and toxic chemicals,...

Erin McCanlies spent almost two decades at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health studying how parents’ exposure to chemicals affects the chance that they will have a child with autism. This spring, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. eliminated her entire division.

A rockslide-generated tsunami in a Greenland fjord rang Earth for 9 days Climate change is increasingly predisposing polar regions to large landslides. Tsunamigenic landslides have occurred recently in Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat), but none have been reported from the east...

...it concluded since the landslide was triggered by the melting glacier, and since *that* happened due to rising global temperatures...

This was a signal - and a warning - from our rapidly changing world, heard in every single part of it.

DOGE claims they have cut $130 billion, this is less than the $170 billion in unpaid taxes that millionaires/billionaires evade EACH YEAR. Biden reinstated the Non-Filer Program to collect these evaded taxes but Trump immediately shut it down. There have been 25K millionaire/billionaire non-filers since 2017. The rich could save 4M lives if they just paid their taxes.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Don't let them get away with it.

The reason the Trump administration has so many incompetent opportunists who make bad choices is because the only criterion for getting any of these jobs is that you've shown loyalty to Donald Trumpβ€”and that's a huge sign that you are an incompetent person who makes bad choices.

This administration is likely sharing intelligence with Russia openly. Putin doesn't need to hack phones. I'd be more worried about Iran, although Russia probably shares everything it gets with them, too. We have no secrets anymore. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, we're part of their axis now.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s β€œnever met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.

Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy.

The event Waltz attendedβ€”a Q&A with a French filmmakerβ€”was moderated by Goldberg.
