By the way, Shenna Bellows’ dad was a carpenter but somehow she doesn’t get slotted as from a working class background. Is it because she’s a woman? #mepolitics

Remember, Trump also dumped a half baked peace plan in Gaza and it worked stunningly:

-He gets to sign a shiny document
-Media loses interest
-Civilians keep getting bombed

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.

He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.

He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.

Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe. His goal is straightforward: He wants to make ICE agents uncomfortable.

“I want their morale as low as possible,” he said, “because a team with low morale is ineffective.”

I’d say that all of us who already thought Mamdani was a generational talent were still underestimating him.

Anti-Trans Hate Group Genspect Loses Its CME Certification, Michigan State Medical Society Says The for-credit lessons included a Moms for Liberty-sponsored panel as well as a lecture from a renowned anti-trans activist on how to politically organize against “gender ideology.”

1. Following EITM reporting, Michigan State Medical Society has said that anti-trans, SPLC-designated hate group Genspect has lost their CME credentials, as well as the parent organization that was supporting it.

Incredible reporting by staff writer S. Baum.

Wear a mask, ideally a respirator like an N95.

RFK Jr has gutted the CDC.

There is no plan to prevent the next pandemic or protect people when it inevitably hits.

Wearing a mask is an act of resistance and community care.

I have come to the realization that aliens could land and the news would be below the fold.

I closed social media for like three hours and the Pope threw a rave, MTG resigned, and Trump endorsed Mamdani before Chuck Schumer did? Now accepting bribes to close social media for all of next week

Bird flu can’t transmit human-to-human. But if it mutates, it’s depressing that we already know how it’s going to play out with RFK Jr. and Trump at the helm.

Katelyn also notes: If you do go to the CDC website, avoid anything on vaccines, reproductive health, environmental science, or health equity.

Data systems are still largely under the control of states and CDC scientists. Flu and wastewater data, for example, are good to go.

Because JFK Jr decided to taint the CDC's Vaccine-Autism page with misinformation, EVERYTHING related to the CDC has now become suspect. @kkjetelina.bsky.social - a trusted source, writes: "At this time, I suggest the general public avoid the CDC website."

Our kids are watching.

ok some of the answers were funny but i still think you should be a little embarrassed for "asking grok" anything

Reprehensible!

Trans people and people of color have been quietly erased from national caregiving plan The decision ignores the stark reality that underserved communities experience greater negative impacts from caregiving, from financial hardships to worse health outcomes, advocates say.

"Three years after the release of the first comprehensive roadmap to address difficulties faced by family caregivers of older adults and people with disabilities, the Trump administration has quietly erased transgender caregivers and caregivers of color."
