Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

We can also call it the Gulf of Liza Minnelli. 🤣

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase.

You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you?

Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

The new iconic photo that i predicted ultimately destroys the relationship:

A quick search of Cotton’s accounts show that the first time he posted a single word critical of USAID was 5 days ago, despite serving in the Senate for 10 years and the House before that.

Flu is surging nationwide, with 24 million cases so far Ten states and New York City are experiencing the highest levels of flu activity, according to the CDC.

“At least 24 million cases, 310,000 hospitalizations and 13,000 deaths — 57 of them children — have been reported for this flu season, which began in October”

A map of the US, Central America, and northern South America with the Gulf of Mexico renamed the Gulf of Liza Minnelli.

A former student of mine posted this, and it made me smile. 🤣

The entire reason this press conference happened is because Trump wanted the world to see him sitting at the Resolute Desk and not Elon. It was 100% about his vanity.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone

Call it a Day Of Transparency

What moron at @cnn.com thought it was a brilliant idea to keep Scott Jennings on the network while pushing Jim Acosta to leave?

This aged well.

I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Repeat it.

This may be the last annual report of its kind for a while, I do expect that US Climate Science will be silenced.

Over the next decade, The United States could lose significantly more in damages and economic losses due to climate change than the profits generated by the oil and gas industry.

Thoughts and prayers are back on the menu.

Just the <checks notes> Chair of the House Appropriations Committee going on the record to say that appropriations statutes “are not a law.”

The United States Congress, ladies and gentlemen.

I will not bow down to the lies; nor, will I bow down to the fear. And btw, it is the Gulf of Mexico.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

Google Maps to rename 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' for US users Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, it said in an X post on Monday.

I will be continuing to call it the Gulf of Mexico because I don't cater to the whims of a ridiculous felon

THAT SAID: Be gentle with any federal workers you know who have to call it "Gulf of America" in their official communications, they really have no choice in the matter and they almost certainly know how ridiculous it is. It's not their fault their boss is a thundering chudwomble.

Defending The Truth About Jan 6th We must be relentless and never ceasing to fight the lies

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

Opinion | What I Saw on Jan. 6 Still Haunts Me Donald Trump is promising to pardon Jan. 6 rioters. But we can’t let him rewrite history.

Kash Patel Believes the FBI Planned Jan. 6th His embrace of this wild conspiracy theory should disqualify him from leading the bureau.

This stream of Kash Patel’s baseless conspiracy theories about FBI on Jan 6 should disqualify him from leading the agency. Thanks to @normeisen.bsky.social and @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social for their work to compile it.

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm.

From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.

Arkansas Law Criminalizing Librarians Ruled Unconstitutional A federal judge has struck down key parts of an Arkansas law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing so-called “harmful” materials to minors.
