It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million.

Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Trump is attempting to undo the republic to retain personal power. No one in DOJ or FBI should be assisting him in this essentially criminal and anti-American undertaking.

The coronavirus vaccine reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events linked to covid-19 — strokes, heart attacks, and hospitalization from heart disease — by about 40 percent, according to new research. https://t.co/cQjvi8EMpX

The public thinks preparedness is waste, because success looks like inactivity. The fire truck polished in the station house is called civilization. The missile buried in a Midwestern silo is called deterrence. Yet a WHO lab sitting quiet, a CDC epidemiologist waiting for an outbreak, or stockpiled PPE, suddenly is “bureaucratic excess.”

That is the idiocy of modern politics: we praise insurance in war, fire, and finance — but mock it in public health because the catastrophe did not happen this week.

Pandemics are not prevented by improvisation. They are prevented by long stretches of expensive boredom interrupted by moments of terror.

Cutting basic science and cutting preparedness means we will try to offload our problem on Kenya and volunteers at airports. That isn't a strategy, that is a bandaid for a gunshot wound

Beyond ignorance, our HHS leadership despises humanity and seeks to undermine the health of Americans for their personal or financial gain or desperation for relevance. In the meantime our national biosecurity has vanished at the worst time as zoonotic spillover epidemics accelerate. Not sure why I still put this stuff on social media, it doesn’t resonate, the disinformation empire won the battle

Trump's war in Iran created a gas price crisis--and oil companies are capitalizing on it. Americans are paying 50% more for gas since Trump’s war began, while Big Oil rakes in windfall profits. That’s why I’m demanding the FTC investigate this price gouging.

I just introduced the Anti-Insurrectionist Act in NY. It's simple: If you're a New Yorker who takes from Trump's illegal January 6th slush fund, NY will tax 100% of it.

This Ebola outbreak has been a slow motion disaster - 900 cases and and now threatening the U.S..

We know how to stop outbreaks like this. But Trump chose not to stop it. He destroyed our global health team, deliberately exposing us.

1/ Here's the story of how this happened.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile.

Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved.

The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Texas Republican Louie Gohmert just labeled Ken Paxton the most corrupt Attorney General in Texas’ history. Woah.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

I am certain @DAGToddBlanche will be disbarred. He has repeatedly deceived courts and acted unethically on a grand scale.

November is coming.

We are so far into "mad king" territory that the White House may not even bother to clarify whether Trump just confused Oman with Iran or is indeed threatening to bomb Oman

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to the President of the United States and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action.

It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end – a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale.

The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America.

Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible – if there is sufficient determination.

Arlington National Cemetery is sacred ground, the resting place for our heroes.

Desecrating this hallowed space to build a monument to Trump’s ego is wrong, it would waste taxpayer money, and break the law.

I'm introducing a bill with @repdinatitus and others to stop this:

BREAKING: Ethics complaint just filed against Pam Bondi — & it's damning

She ran DOJ like a weapon — & now 100+ scholars, retired judges & retired FL Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince — joined by @DDFund_ @LDADemocracy & LFRL — are holding her accountable -TN
