If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

If every single democratic senator doesn't vote against RFK Jr., I don't know what.

VOTE NO. ALL OF YOU.

A not so subtle grift methinks.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.

He should be rejected by the Senate.

If you're a federal worker and you want to blow the whistle and share emails or memos from the new administration, my DMs are open and I'll keep you anonymous.

As I anticipated (@martylederman.bsky.social did too):

Judge Cannon clears way for public release of #January6th volume of Jack Smith report.

"That temporary injunction expires starting at 12:00 a.m."

Midnight tonight.

Many Qs may be answered. Including implications for state prosecutions.

He stole classified documents and led a conspiracy to obstruct the retrieval of them

He pressured elections officials in Georgia to overturn their election results

He tried to overthrow an American election

Is Laura Loomer actually… making sense??

If we have enough money to buy another country then we have enough money to ensure nobody is homeless or goes hungry.

Live updates: Trump sentenced without penalty in New York hush money case Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced Friday on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to an adult-film actress shortly before the 2016 election.

Breaking news: President-elected Donald Trump was sentenced Friday in his hush-money case to unconditional discharge, in which a defendant is not fined, locked up or given probation.

Friday’s sentencing formalized Trump’s status as the first president or president-elect who is a felon.

In 11 days, a convicted felon is about to be the president.

In 11 days, the man who staged a coup on the U.S. government is about to become president.

We need to keep saying it, because this can’t become our “normal.”

it’s pretty funny that before the election americas economy was in the gutter, completely beyond repair and now that trump won the election we are strong enough and powerful enough to do imperialist expansion

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.

Biden: We have an obligation to stand up to what my dad used to say is the greatest sin of all: The abuse of power.

Why the fuck are so many people giving up in advance??

Good fucking grief.

Trump never met a dictator he didn’t suck up to
