Harvard introduced the smallpox vaccine, appendectomy, the EKG, the iron lung for polio, general anesthesia, artificial skin for burns, heart valve surgery, the use of insulin, mRNA vaccine technology, CAR-T cancer therapy and far more. Pete Hegseth knows nothing about Harvard.
The normalization of Trump will be studied by historians. How did this happen? Who contributed to it? This tragic episode in American history will be compared to McCarthyism or the rise of American fascists in 1930s. For those still excusing Trump's behavior, maybe now is a good time to get on the right side of history.
It’s good to see the @thetimes.com taking Epstein’s links with Putin’s regime seriously. Next step: it wasn’t just about compromising material & finance, but destabilising Western democracies using Bannon, Farage & the far right.

I’m on my apartment balcony to illustrate how Donald Trump’s corruption and contempt for the rule both threatens our democracy *and* affects our everyday lives.
Behind me is the Gateway project, a $16 billion effort to build a new rail tunnel across the Hudson. It's the most important infrastructure project in the country, vital to the economy of New York and the rest of the northeastern U.S..
The work will stop today—with thousands of jobs lost—because Donald Trump *illegally* cut off the funding.
Why? Because he wants *Penn Station* (and Dulles Airport) to be named after *him*.
So the fight against Trumpism is both about democracy and our economic well-being. It’s *one* fight.
It’s either Trump or us. We can’t go on with him another three years.
And that’s why I’m running for Congress.

When historians write the chronicle of this scoundrel time (not in the Washington Post, obviously) they will point to what Bezos did for Melania while gutting his own newspaper as the most glaring symptom of cultural collapse in a democracy hanging on to truth and knowledge by the barest of threads.
