This is far worse than Clinton’s “deplorable” comment, and yet…crickets.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

America doesn’t take care of babies.
America doesn’t nurture kids.
America doesn’t protect teenagers.
America doesn’t support adults.
America doesn’t help the elderly.

America’s only priority is wealth and the wealthy. And it will burn everything in this country to keep the wealthy comfortable.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Quinnipiac poll: PRESIDENT TRUMP Thirty-eight percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent disapprove. In Quinnipiac University's April 9 poll, 41 percent approved, while 53 percent disapproved. Voters were asked about Trump's handling of seven issues... immigration issues: 43 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 3 percent not offering an opinion; deportations: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion; the economy: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion; trade: 38 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 6 percent not offering an opinion; universities: 37 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 9 percent not offering an opinion; the Israel - Hamas conflict: 35 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove, with 13 percent not offering an opinion; the Russia - Ukraine war: 34 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 10 percent not offering an opinion.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations.

Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance.

Nobody fucking wants any of this.

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.

Both legal and undocumented immigrants are woven into America’s economic and sociocultural fabric. What will those communities, and America as a whole, look like after 4 years of Trump declaring war on immigration and immigrants? We are hurtling towards a broken future.

A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals.  Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve. I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots. Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president exists in a dystopian fantasy world with no connection to reality

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.

Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

just checking in on the president before bed… he just reposted some qanon brain rot about how joe biden was secretly executed in 2020 and replaced with a clone and/or robot 👍

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

This article is further proof that RFK Jr. has no business serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services. He is deeply unqualified, ignores proven treatments and cures, and will fake studies in an attempt to legitimize his pseudo-science.

Our public health community deserves more.

If you feel the need to take retribution on the state of Israel by targeting and murdering Jews in America, you are anti-Semitic.

Weren’t the higher tariffs on China only suspended for 90 days? Hard to start planning when those large tariffs are still looming in the near future.

FEMA Has Canceled Its Four-Year Strategic Plan Ahead of Hurricane Season Multiple FEMA employees tell WIRED that they did not know of another time when a strategic plan was rescinded without another in place.

Scoop from me and @mollytaft.com: FEMA Has Canceled Its Four-Year Strategic Plan Ahead of Hurricane Season

Rescinding the strategic plan would “make the agency so inept that the states or tribes have no option but to assume operations and responsibilities” themselves.

www.wired.com/story/fema-c...

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”

🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement.
This is child abuse.
This is state terror.
Worcester police are complicit.

Research at risk: Life-saving heart pumps for babies | Cornell Chronicle After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects.

It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this.

The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

Last of Us has been incredible this season. Really living up to the game.

After the RIF notices from tonight here is an Updated NIOSH Org chart for your convenience.

Trump really prepping for economic catastrophe

Would love to explore the psychology behind the mass psychosis of so many people forgetting how bad his first term was. So many of them also pretend his mishandling of COVID just never happened.

Can definitely get the Lovecraft Country vibes too.

Definitely some Salem’s Lot/Midnight Mass/Dusk Til Dawn vibes but in a very unique and original way. And yeah that soundtrack is fire. Saw it on Friday and haven’t stopped thinking about it.

Evil

They’re arresting judges now. We’re so fucking cooked. Thanks to all the lunatics who voted for this.

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

U.S. Texts Barnard Employees and Asks if They Are Jewish A questionnaire from a federal commission also inquired about whether professors and other college staff members had been harassed.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

We’re so cooked

With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us' Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.
