He said, "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

He lied

But what's worse-he didn't even TRY to lower prices

Instead, almost as soon he got into office, he started hitting people with tariffs-making things infinitely worse

Devastating news.

New reporting from @propublica.org finds that Oklahoma’s social studies standards, written with the help of the right-wing group behind Project 2025, now include roughly 40 points about Christianity that students should learn as well as skepticism about the 2020 election and COVID-19’s origins.

ah yes rick scott, the very smart health care expert who oversaw one of the largest medicare fraud schemes in u.s. history

October is #BreastCancerAwareness month.
As of 2024, 2.4M women worldwide received Herceptin. It also helped scientists realize that #breastcancer is heterogenous, paving the way for more targeted treatments. The 5 yr survival rate went from 75% in 1980 to 92%.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

No healthcare for you, but two new private jets for ICE ICE Barbie.

Ritzy dinners and a dog's birthday party: Life's pretty normal for Congress and Trump despite shutdown While thousands of federal workers go without pay, the government shutdown has had little impact on the day-to-day happenings on Capitol Hill and in the White House.

“While thousands of federal workers are furloughed - or fired - and trying to stay afloat without paychecks, the ones responsible for the shutdown are literally, and figuratively, eating cake.”

😡

Let them eat cake.
#NoKings tomorrow, Oct 18.

I've never grasped why the public isn't always in full support of independent regulatory oversight and transparency of the food and water supply. So many allow themselves to be gaslit by corporate interest that is always trying to cut costs. You'd think we could all agree on a safe food supply.

There were 70 human H5N1 cases in 2024. The response in 2024 could have been better, but at least it was a response. There is no response now. Maybe over the summer it wasn't such a big deal without as much flu around. But H5N1 is around now. And CDC isn't.

Donald Trump's war on public health enters a new phase Another bad day at the CDC

The Trump administration's latest layoffs include HUD staffers who investigate fair housing complaints, "disease detectives," and the team that publishes the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Federal Judges, Warning of ‘Judicial Crisis,’ Fault Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

Who needs disease detectives

Awful.

Key word: *bonkers*
Reminder: this man 👏is👏NOT👏a👏medical professional! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

This US government shutdown is different: what it means for science President Trump’s budget office lays out guidelines for mass lay-offs across the federal government.

“American science, the gold-standard and world-leading science and innovation enterprise, is being destroyed….Congress has a rare moment of leverage to check Trump’s executive overreach and it must stand up and do so.”

Just try to imagine the public outcry and wall-to-wall media coverage if President Biden had cancelled $8 billion in funding to red states.

PBS and NPR are no longer funded by the government, starting today.

Beyond embarrassing.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

War-ravaged Portland

Just signed!

Oh. My. God.

Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to "steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote: The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated. Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v. Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court.

He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...
