Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸

We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

A former ICE agent is blowing the whistle: Academy training is "deficient & broken." He claims he was ordered to teach cadets to bypass the Constitution & enter homes without warrants. ICE reportedly cut 240 hours of legal, firearms, and use-of-force training.

HHS cancels &500 million in mRNA research, a $600 million contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, narrowed criteria on who should get the mRNA COVID vaccine, and now refuses to review a completed study of a mRNA flu vaccine.  If you were trying to kill a technology, and a company, this is what you would do.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

In November of 2024, two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement. Facing them in a grand conference room beneath ornate chandeliers, he requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.

Jodi Kantor in the NY Times reports that the Chief Justice requested Court employees sign nondisclosure agreements in November 2024 - moving to formal contracts requiring silence/confidentiality after Trump was reelected: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
