This is insane.

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

👋 Hi, we’re Unbreaking, a volunteer-run collective working to document our current moment of institutional collapse and its human costs—as well as the pushback and resilience work already underway. We believe this is critical work for building and retaining political agency.

Medical Research Funding — Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding.

It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job.

Horrible...except that I'm pretty sure renewables have become less expensive than coal mining at this point anyway?

If so, that means no companies are gonna bother leasing the land unless they also receive massive federal subsidies for...

Oh, wait.

This is one of the worst policy positions continually being supported by this administration.

Honest to Pete this is all just so dumb

Official communication from FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy acknowledges there is no causal link between its use in pregnancy and autism. Also states clearly that this is the safest over the counter treatment for fever and pain in pregnancy. It is very different from what was communicated at the press conference.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy.

- Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway
It's very different from the press conference.
Pass it on.

What the heck are we doing?

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.
