Republicans are trying to jam a bill through the Senate that:

-Cuts $900B from Medicaid
-Kicks millions off their health care
-Raises grocery costs for 40 million Americans
-Adds $4.2T to the deficit

All to cut taxes for billionaires. Rotten to its core.

Plus these rates were negotiated with each university accounting meticulously for their systemic costs covering lab space, equipment, libraries, electricity, IT functions, and on and on. Would be ridiculous to calculate increments of all this separately for each project. It is not a damn ‘tip’!

Preach. Nothing wrong with that.

Then they should resign. They can’t do their jobs.

Part of the problem is the actual energy utility industry either thinks the GOP is posturing, or is so deep into their renewables switch that the IRA is meaningless to them. And to be fair it's really hard to take anybody who thinks another coal plant willl ever be built remotely seriously.

Jobs jobs jobs, don’t people want them? It’s supposed to be win/win/win.

I care. I bet the people whose jobs and economies are affected also care. Congress’s phones are ringing off the hook. It’s the elected Rs who don’t care.

I miss the old boring guy who just quietly pulled our economy out of a dumpster fire and didn’t start any world wars.

Wow. This whole piece about Natalie Phelps, from CBS and Ted Koppel.

Trump, Russell Vought and Musk attacked NIH—to privatize US science and harm universities.

And patients like Natalie have been harmed. She’s now waiting for her potentially life-saving treatment at #NIH. 🧪

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

this is literally a plan to do this, published in plain writing by the party that currently controls the government. if you want resistance to alarmism treated as an intellectual stance rather than an affective posture you'll need something in the vicinity of a reason

Not just Republicans, Christo-fascist … astonishing that the media still considers it impolite to discuss the real, insane beliefs of the people ruling the country

We the People need to do it. We are the foundation of the Constitution.

And the same as they were in the 1820s, the 1830s, the 1840s, the 1850s, the 1860s, the 1870s….

Boom!

Help us cause some good trouble by doing a virtual Facebook “check-in” at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport today.

The more people who check in, the harder it is for surveillance tools to track who’s actually there. It’s a simple but powerful way to show up and support from a distance.

Bring it on, Abigail Spanberger! And after you win the governorship, please appoint some UVA trustees who will defend truthfulness and academic integrity.

Words fail me.

In Pursuit of Godlike Technology, Mark Zuckerberg Amps Up the A.I. Race Unhappy with his company’s artificial intelligence efforts, Meta’s C.E.O. is on a spending spree as he reconsiders his strategy in the contest to invent a hypothetical “superintelligence.”

Just going to consult this reference book, “The Consequences of Pursuing Godlike Power,” by The Entire Canon of World Literature

Yep. They are dangerous AF.

Thank you, Brian Lyman, for pushing back against this weapons-grade level of ignorance about literature, history, and theology.

Morning! Just a reminder: today’s peaceful protest to stop “Alligator Alcatraz” is happening from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport (54575 Tamiami Trail).

I hope that this appalling state of affairs will turbocharge Spanberger’s campaign.

No accident that this is happening in the state that housed the capital of the Confederacy.

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery

These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are *also* out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!

this is just an observation but one way to think of the civil war is that it WAS about states rights, but the right in question was the right of free states to stay free

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

And yet the resignation does not guarantee the funding.

The only power he has is the power they choose to give him. They need to stop doing that.

DOGE loses control over government grants website, freeing up billions The DOGE team’s loss of control is the latest sign of its declining influence following Elon Musk’s departure from Washington.

The death of DOGE can’t come soon enough. It has done nothing to make government more efficient but has taken a chain saw to programs important to every community in our country.

May it RIP — Roast in Purgatory.
