When the guy embraces his own demise. A dude raking in the big $$ thinks the epicenter of innovation is sidestepping humanity for machines cause travel planning is cool? Next up players get replaced by robots. When coach via AI. After all, don’t need experts. Removing humans from art and sport.
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Sickening move by Senate Republicans. Selling off America but by bit. Reversal of long fought efforts including significant impact to tribal lands, and accelerated pollution of a rapidly dealing natural resources . Leaders back pockets getting filled.
The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.
This is exactly right. It’s not a dilemma though. It’s a line in the sand that will at once once collapse what remains of the rule of law and regulatory infrastructure designed to protect the public.
'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
It's harder to measure but I feel like RFK Jnr shutting down funding for MRNA research is actually up there with DOGE cuts and this latest Iranian war as a contender for Most Evil Things Trump II has done. Accounted properly, this regime is really wracking up 20th-century-dictator kill counts imo.
The American Government under Trump is modeling Kim Jong Un when it comes to women's rights. You get nothing.
What’s nuts is we do understand don’t we that this is only going to get worse, but with added entrenched beliefs that parents have parental rights to make society as a whole more dangerous for everyone around them. Guns, disease, pedophiles, ignorance, bigotry, and an AI cult for our kids. The GOP.
Klein: I agree that it is a revolutionary technology, that it is going to transform our economy on the scale of the Industrial Revolution.
But unlike the Industrial Revolution, which created huge numbers of jobs, the goal of this revolution is to eliminate jobs.
So blessed to have worked with so many terrific members of the nursing community. Yet equally surprised and disappointed by the many who feel compelled to, despite their status and access to the medical community, engage in anti-vax rhetoric and treatment conspiracy rabbit holes. Based on “feels”.
You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.
CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭
This.
Who else is still feeling the joy this morning? 🙋♀️🚀🧑🚀 THIS is what science can do!!
Or airplanes?
Or golf trips?
Or extended family security detail?
Or crypto coin sales or or or or ……
Netanyahu, Trump and Putin are awful, people. They are brutal, corrupt and anti democratic - determined to eliminate freedoms in their countries
My step-dad died of pancreatic cancer. It was brutal and I’d do anything to prevent another family from having to go through it. Livid.
there is no level of hell deep enough for RFKjr
So we have two real estate guys, and the guy Iran wanted, negotiating for the US, with no consultation with State Department experts. What could go wrong.
They send educated diplomats. We send grifting liars. It is all so embarrassing.
The US continues to have one of the highest maternal death rates among high-income countries, and the situation is getting worse. Behind this trend is a growing body of research showing that state abortion bans directly contribute to increased maternal mortality.
Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell:
Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad.
The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.
mRNA vaccine for non-communicable diseases such as pancreatic cancer show promise. Cancelling the mRNA research grants kills that research too.

I don't think Wolff is the primary target of Melania's ire, but he is one target and may limit Melania's ability to respond to Amanda Ungaro.
#ICYMI: I wrote yesterday about the effort by a handful of academics to create a literature supporting President Trump's birthright citizenship executive order—and how such backfilling has only been encouraged by the way that #SCOTUS has utilized (and cited) legal scholarship in recent years:
