Bulging Biceps Don’t Win Modern Wars Hegseth’s speech was vile. It was also stupid.

TONIGHT: @pkrugman.bsky.social talks to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

We can only hope….

Who helped Trump create this video? Regardless, it surreal that the president of the United States posted this. When we were children, we respected the office. What will the current generation grow up thinking?

We need to get a list of the corporations who are funding the ballroom so we can boycott them!

The Trump administration announced that the United States will not support a voluntary global plan aimed at sharply cutting greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping sector by 2050.

So sorry.

I’m confused. This afternoon Trump said there is a cease fire agreement but Iran’s foreign minister says there isn’t one yet. Who should I believe??

How can I register to attend?

The United States and Ukraine’s allies must initiate harsh sanctions against Russia. Sanctions represent the only hope that Russia will back down.

Are subdeals like concepts of deals?

Has Trump or will Trump propose any specific initiatives to increase manufacturing and employment in the U.S. or does he just expect that it will happen organically as a result of tariffs? That doesn’t seem realistic.

It pains me to think of all the better ways $24m could have been used to help people.

A midwife says of the aid cuts in Afghanistan: 'No one prioritizes women's lives.' With the abrupt shutdown of USAID funding, many clinics, including those serving women in remote areas, have shuttered. Midwives are reporting that mothers and babies are dying as a result.

Democrats Sue Trump Over Executive Order on Elections The lawsuit accuses President Trump of vastly overstepping his authority to “upturn the electoral playing field in his favor and against his political rivals.”

Proud that my firm and I are representing Democrats in this fight!💪⚖️🗳️

"As Democrats debate how best to challenge the Trump administration’s rapid expansion of executive power, the lawsuit represents one of the first moments where seemingly every arm of the party is pushing back with one voice."

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Do not say this is not possible in the US. It is all about motivation.

Some students have cycled across Serbia to join this protest in Belgrade.

There are US cities with bigger populations than Serbia & they can be brought to a standstill.

You either fight oligarchy & corruption or accept it.

Judge someone by their words and actions over 20+ years.

Not by a made for TV senate confirmation hearing.

CDC doesn’t have time for theater.

Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos estimate...

The warnings were clear:

* 1 million kids untreated for severe acute malnutrition;
* Up to 166,000 malaria deaths;
* TB cases up 30%
* 200,000 more polio-induced paralysis cases in 10 years.

The Trump team killed USAID anyway.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

This is excellent.

Very encouraging news about cancer research and mRNA vaccines. An administration that cared about Americans' well-being would be looking for ways to follow up and double down on such efforts. The Trump administration on the other hand seems determined to gut NIH and is hostile to vaccines.

4. USAID’s contract supporting deadly outbreak prevention, detection, and response, including Ebola and Bird Flu, in 50 countries – terminated.

Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Ugly Turn, Putting Starving Kids at Risk Two U.S. nonprofits that manufacture a treatment sent by USAID to help severely malnourished children abroad say the process is in chaos. This isn’t what Marco Rubio said would happen.

3. All supplies of US-manufactured emergency food packets for starving children on the brink of death – terminated. newrepublic.com/article/1919...

1. All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots (Gift Article) The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

With the next FDA vaccine meeting cancelled, concerns are rising about whether flu vaccine will be ready on time for next year. w/ @sherylnyt.bsky.social

The stakes are high: 86 kids and 19,000 adults died so far this flu season.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
