A meme with four quadrants. On the top, alongside an image of a sad SpongeBob SquarePants, the text reads: Republicans talking about the economy while Biden was President." On the bottom, alongside an image of a very happy SpongeBob SquarePants jumping for joy in front of a rainbow with sparkles surrounding him, the text reads: Republicans talking about the exact same economy the second Trump becomes president.

Annual morbidity in the 20th century, before and after vaccines:

Measles:

Mumps:

Rubella:
Before: 50,000, After: 3

Diphtheria:
Before: 20,000, After: 2

Smallpox:
Before: 30,000, After: 0

Polio:
Before: 16,000, After: 0

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.

CNN's experts find Trump allies' plans to search through government employees' emails and text "frankly frightening."

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Very interesting 🤨 —

The GOP power struggle begins in Washington, DC.

Senator Mitch McConnell understands this would be the end of the Senate as we know it.

Whether he's in any position to stand up against the MAGA members is the real question.

The Flunkies

This is the New York Post talking, not the New York Times. 😳

Remember, by elevating incompetent fascists like Hegseth, Gabbard, and Gaetz, the aim is to demoralize us.

It's ok to be horrified by the injustice and insanity of it all, but instead of feeling helpless and withdrawing, let’s get angry and fight.
