15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Marge calls BS on Mike Johnson’s claim that Republicans have a healthcare plan.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Will biodiversity actions yield healthy places? A systematic review of human health outcomes associated with biodiversity‐focused urban greening Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

Yes, solutions for nature are also solutions for health!

A $40 million bailout for Argentina because they’re an “ally” but longtime top trading partner Canada is running a psyops program by airing a commercial which accurately quotes President Reagan so we slap tariffs on them

While we’re on the subject of Ronald Reagan.

He may not want you to hear it, but this is the original audio, sourced directly from the Reagan Library.

Don’t let him erase history — like he already did when he tore down part of the White House.

An astonishingly large crowd!

#NoKings Miami!

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Sen. Ossoff’s investigation into U.S. immigration detention found 500+ credible reports of abuse, including assault, poor medical care, and unsanitary conditions.

14 cases involved pregnant women.

Urgent reforms are needed to protect detainees’ rights and dignity.

A snippet from his presentation👇

Dr. Jane Goodall was a remarkable individual – as a scientist, as an advocate for wildlife and wild places, and as a source of profound hope for the future of our planet. She brought such a joyful spirit and unfailing optimism to her work. #inspiration #hope #wildlife #conservation

This is true, and funny because it's true, and also an argument for "early writing" - you can write much of your paper, even most of it, well before the work is complete and thus before you're too late for "should have done".

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.

I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.

I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!

Axing the EVs: Canadian sales plunge while global sales surge We’ve slammed on the brakes of EVs and started driving the wrong way. That's leaving Canadians even further behind.

Wow - looks very much like Canada was on track to achieve the upcoming EV target in 2026 of 20% of vehicle sales, until govts reversed policy course. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/04/a...

Highly recommend this piece by @bsaxifrage.bsky.social. 👇🧵

Canadians like to think of themselves as global leaders. But on climate policy – and on EV adoption in particular – we are worse than laggards; we are surrender monkeys running backwards...

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

I would deeply enjoy supervising a PhD thesis about this advertisement… please get in touch 😅
