I'm not a scientist but a Stanford & JHU SAIS IR/Econ alum who respects science & wants to be educated @ COVID + Lung Cancer. NorCal born Croatian-American.
This is bad news. This is very bad news.
The US government has stopped the funding of PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature.
Why would you do this? This database it literally a matter of life and death.
BREAKING: Prosecutor Maya Song, who told the DOJ there was not enough evidence to indict James Comey, has just been fired by the Trump DOJ.
Honesty gets you fired if you get in the way of Trump. This woman is a hero.
So it's a total victory for Kimmel.
Returns with no restrictions, no mandate to apologize, and now even the right-wing-owned channels have caved.
Total and complete victory.
Trump presentation at Ft Bragg was a disgraceful politicization of the active Armed Forces. He is the Commander in Chief. The only loyalty of the Armed Forces is to the Constitution. Their focus is on protecting America from foreign enemies. Grave danger.
In private, Trump once told us he wanted to designate immigrants as “unlawful enemy combatants.”
The same designation was given to terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS.
So you can imagine where this goes next…
There was no call. Not even a voicemail.
Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn’t even know who he’s talking to.
I'm a Marine.
Take it from me — the President's actions this week have been dangerous and disgraceful.
We trained and deployed to protect the American people — not to serve as pawns in Donald Trump's political agenda.
The American people and our military deserve better.
I will say it again: the degree that the Republican Party has been compromised by Russia is the great under-reported story of our time.
The Russians helped elect Trump in 2016. Why is this not obvious? Because we are in denial.
From the NRA to much of right wing media, they are acting as Russian propagandists. Some are paid through third parties, some are paid in career advancement.
The Republican Party has been compromised.
Have you seen a baby have a seizure from meningitis? I have.
Have you seen a baby die from whooping cough? I have.
Have you seen a baby intubated with epiglottis? I have.
Thanks to RFK Jr, you may soon see these things as well as the US wipes away decades of medical progress.
Let's just drop the pretense. This isn't about deporting dangerous criminals. They're grabbing anyone they can, anyway they can and anywhere they can in order to meet Trump's quotas. He wants to run up the score, and it's going to tear communities, blue AND red, apart.
Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree with this administration on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think that this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake ... cancer ... your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute."
I’m sorry, but Hegseth, RFK Jr., Patel, Gabbard... they just aren’t intelligent. We need to call it like it is.
It isn’t just that I disagree with them. It’s that they don’t understand what they’re doing and they actively endanger the security of the United States.
Donald Trump is a deranged lunatic who wouldn’t be allowed to manage a Wendy’s. But I guess we all have to pretend like this is normal and not 25th amendment behavior.
People who treat this as acceptable are the insane ones.
As I often said to friends who backed Trump in 2024 for pro-Israel reasons ... Trump has broken faith with everyone else on this earth fool enough to trust him, wives, creditors, everyone. Why do you imagine you'll be any different?
