BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant

We carry a responsibility to prove that government is worthy of the people it serves.
A week ago, we marked our first 100 days.
We will work every day to honor the promises we made to New Yorkers — and to fulfill the mission of the movement that brought us here.
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
Michael B Jordan all ripped and oily holding a sculpt of his own chest as if he burst out of it and in his left hand and on the left side of his body he has a cool trench coat on but the right side is just bare body with deltoids and pecs and triceps and obliques and forearms and then he has on these green pants made out of Rich Person Material, probably some kind of rare animal leather and the lighting accentuates all the creases pointing to his schmeat oh yeah by the way even his nipple is shiny Rolling Stone did this
Have we discussed this yet?
FRONTLINE and ProPublica investigate the violence, protests and arrests stemming from the federal immigration sweeps across the country. "Caught in the Crackdown" premieres tonight on PBS and online.
ANYWAY, there’s no way out of all of this that does not include—at MINIMUM—a general strike. The best time for it was 2020 - 2021 when they were still recognizing the pandemic and offering assistance. But that would have meant having solidarity with disabled people. So.
The second-best time is now.
SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord
Trump just gave up a lot of classified information in that briefing.
To be clear, he’s the president so he can do whatever he wants in that regard, but it’s not very smart.
Forget the California “exodus” narrative. Companies KEEP BETTING on California.
Investors are overwhelmingly backing the innovation and ideas coming out of the Golden State — far more than ANY other state — because the future happens here first.
China has more than 70% of all the high speed rail in the entire world.
It installs more Renewable Energy than the rest of the world combined.
It has some of lowest electricity and water prices in the world.
All because China never privatised any of it.
We continue to go to war over oil and fossil fuels. Meanwhile, renewable energy continues to grow.
It's not about one single solution, but finding a variety of ways to meet our actual needs.
Of course, we certainly need less than we are consuming.
BREAKING: One of the F-15 pilots on the downed U.S. fighter jet was rescued and is alive, a U.S. official says.
Apparently the democracy isn’t as strong as we thought.
P.S. — This is also why they were against Obama’s Iran deal. Because it was working to keep Iran from getting nukes… and Israel wanted this war.
The largest offshore Solar Power Planet in the world in China.
While the West is wasting their money on military junk China is going completely renewable energy.
The West is lead by fools.
The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching.
Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher.
That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).
Pam Bondi’s portrait was taken down at DOJ and tossed in a trash bin soon after her firing. MS NOW obtained the photo. The move reflects how deeply unpopular she was among career officials. Ken Dilanian & Carol Leonnig scoop www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

The news cycle was so satisfying yesterday.
KATIE MILLER TO ACTING AG TODD BLANCHE: "Do you think investigators covered it up? Given how many victims there are. Surely, there should be more prosecutions and charges.”
Apparently Stephen Miller’s wife didn’t get the memo. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp
what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?
A reminder that last week, Pam Bondi accidentally released a Jack Smith memo revealing Trump’s motive for stealing and illegally retaining classified documents.
BREAKING: Fox News reports PAM BONDI HAS BEEN FIRED.
I don’t know why it hit me today, but I just feel
like sending a giant
FUCK YOU
to Jake Tapper and every other talking head who incessantly harped on Biden’s mental acuity,
and don’t have SHIT to say about the incoherent and delusional claptrap of that asshole.
Really, just go to hell.
Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens.
Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth.
Do you think Marco will now self-deport?
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is about to sign a voter suppression law.
Super lawyer Marc Elias is ready to file a lawsuit to stop it:
