90 yrs ago SCOTUS told FDR directly that he couldn't fire an FTC commissioner over policy disagreements--only for cause. This court has now for at least the 3rd time this year indicated *on the shadow docket w/out explanation* that it no longer considers Humphrey's Executor to be good law

Not to belabor a "I told you so", but it's been clear for years that the whole "lab leak" discourse has absolutely nothing to do with a potential lab leak and everything to do with a broader anti-science agenda.

I really, and truly, hope more scientists will realize this and take corrective action.

Parking a bunch of military vehicles outside Union Station is extremely weird.

@mattcameron.bsky.social Do you need a new t-shirt? @openargs.bsky.social

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year *of Medicare enrollees.*

They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Was quite a moment, a sense we reached some kind of inflection point in U.S. history. You can now personally pay a U.S. president to gain an audience.

Yep. It's not possible to understand politics today, much less predict future trends, without recognizing that a large segment of the population lives in an alternate reality increasingly untethered from the real world via nonstop right-wing propaganda on every issue.

Pete Hegseth & @PeteHegseth Thank you sir. The least we can do, for Him & the country. I hope you will join us soon for one of our monthly services. We'd be honored to have you. Franklin Graham @@Franklin_Graham • 10h Thank you @PeteHegseth for not being afraid to stand up for Jesus Christ in the Pentagon. May God bless you. nytimes.com/2025/05/21/us/..

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross, and the New York Times will tell us we are all overreacting.”

prayer service to be a monthly event.Credit...Eric Lee/The New York Times John Ismay By John Ismay Reporting from the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. May 21, 2025 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth led a Christian prayer service in the Pentagon’s auditorium on Wednesday morning, during working hours, in which President Trump was praised as a divinely appointed leader. The event, billed as the “Secretary of Defense Christian Prayer & Worship Service,” was standing room only and ran for about 30 minutes, with Brooks Potteiger, the pastor of Mr. Hegseth’s church in

The NYT piece they link, which does not lead with “separation of church and state.”

Elon and his goons are still stealing your data. They're still assaulting the Constitution. They're still terrorizing federal workers. Don't buy his bullshit. "Stepping back" just means "please stop protesting my business." You know what to do. #teslatakedown

this entire paragraph is Stephen Pinker openly saying, "I think race science is real and correct."

boy if I was the editor of the NYT (Harvard class of 1987) I might be thinking twice about why I empowered a racist attack on the institution for weeks, laying the groundwork for the deranged policy attacks of today.

Hannah Rose Woods @hannahrosewoods Is it possible you misheard Dr Naomi Wolf o @naomirwolf Terrifying. Also confirms/explains the conversation I overheard in a restaurant in Manhattan 2 yrs ago in which an Apple employee was boasting about attending a top secret demo: they had a new tech to deliver vaccines w nanopatticles that let you travel back in time. Not kidding Time Machine Software Time Machine is a backup software application distributed as part of macOS, the desktop operating system developed by Apple. The software is designed to work with external storage devices and most commonly used with external disk drives, It was first introduced in Mac OS X Leopard. Wikipedia Developer: Apple Operating system: macOS 10.5 or newer

As long as we’re talking about Naomi Wolf I want to remind you once again about the time she thought Apple invented vaccines that let you travel backwards in time

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza

I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response.

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics "They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently"

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel.

True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

All of this for some students watching a documentary on campus. Fucking ridiculous.

I love how finding out the head of HHS doesn't believe in germs isn't the craziest part of that fucking sentence

NIH insiders: Trump is ‘dismantling and destroying everything’ After just 100 days, agency scientists say U.S. health institutes are demoralized and have lost essential staff and funding

“However bad everyone on the outside thinks it is, it is a million times worse. They’re dismantling and destroying everything.”

Read, share, respond. Call your representatives.

The health and well-being of Americans & America's innovation economy are at stake.

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

This is your economy on Republicans

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

Looking forward to Chief Justice Roberts saying absolutely nothing about the Secretary of State, at a Cabinet meeting with the President next to him, remarking—unprompted—that the federal judiciary is beneath him and he will not comply with their rulings.
