Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Donald Trump Is Hell-Bent on Destroying the Economy Less than two weeks after narrowly averting self-inflicted disaster, the president is once again on the verge of doing something both stupid and catastrophic.

If and when a recession comes, it will have a clear author: Trump, who has embarked on a path that can only be described as economic suicide.

It’s kind of incredible that these bizarre rants are just shrugged off daily, and not seen as evidence of a cognitive disaster like no one has ever seen.

When government thinks you’re dead, it upends lives. DOGE may make it worse. Elon Musk’s team has moved millions of Social Security numbers into the agency’s deaths database, potentially raising the risk of errors.

False claims by Elon Musk and his U.S. DOGE Service about dead people getting benefits have led to a new effort to move millions of names to the Death Master File — increasing the odds that more people who are alive will inadvertently be declared dead, according to officials at the agency.

Trump Turns COVID.gov into MAGA Fan Service It used to provide medical information. Now it’s just Fauci hate and lab leak theories.

The purpose of the site has always been to provide one trustworthy, convenient source of basic, health-oriented information—what the disease is and how it presents, how the vaccine works, where to get tests and treatment. Until last week. @citizencohn.bsky.social:
