Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!
Trump insane Easter post
Mamdani warm and gracious easter greetings
One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!
I thought you made that up-then I checked the NASA website! Amazing! (And perhaps time for me to upgrade)
Mark McAfee’s Raw Farm dairy products are the common denominator in an E. coli outbreak.
The FDA requested a recall. McAfee is refusing to do so.
Most food recalls are voluntary, but since rules don’t matter anymore, we get McAfee’d.

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.”

This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.
GORSUCH: Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test?
SAUER: Ah, I think ... so. I have to think that through.
Things are just RELENTLESSLY BAD… ALL THE TIME!!!

Two small dogs dressed in red, white and blue attending a No Kings protest, one dog wearing sign that says “I’m vaccinated, are you?” The other dog’s sign in French says “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite, Laicite”
Even dogs! This one’s sign (in California) mentioned vaccines
I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.
Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight.
As a Cuban, I'm devastated.
This is a national disgrace and it should cost Bhattacharya his job at NIH.
It should result in him being ostracized from academia for the rest of his career.

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...
The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals.
We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
