This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

Wow. This speech by Whitehouse will go down in the history books. It's also going to be referred to again and again as AG Blanche continues the self-dealing with the president, the corruption, and the cover-ups.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

And this @politico.com story from 2021 rightly points out Miller's abusive past and his family's billionaire wealth and long-time Republican connections in Ohio, so it was all known to Bernie Moreno before his daughter's wedding: web.archive.org/web/20211105...

‘He’s a Great Guy’: Trump’s Favored Aide Has Troubled Past

According to anti-cyclist replies, here's evidence that cars and bikes are equally dangerous: 🚗: They kill ~40000 people in the US annually 🚲: I saw a cyclist run a red light 30 years ago

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right?

Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net · 4d ago

The Fauci hearing was not about COVID, it was about scaring scientists. Rand Paul, avid science-denier, followed the pattern of the Trump admin's latest attempts to quiet people who disagree with them. 🧵

“Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American. The government’s approach was ready, shoot, aim. The federal government owes Mr. Hearn an apology.”” apple.news/A5wMO2IuSSS6...

DOJ drops Reflecting Pool case, blaming damage on ‘botched’ installation — NBC News

The Justice Department said “it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism, let alone to establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt.”

if you think that the trump admin is trying to help science, you're either very stupid, an asshole, or both and yes, i'm talking about everyone taking "Science: A New Golden Age" at face value it's like odysseus was on the trojan horse telling you soldiers are inside and you're like "oooh present"

Shematologist, MD@shematologist.medsky.social · 6d ago

Back in 2020, as a pediatric hematologist married to a physician, we signed up to volunteer in a field hospital for patients with COVID. We wrote our wills and worried about getting our kids sick. I posted about terrifying outcomes in kids and received death threats. Fauci is a goddamn hero.

We already do this and companies who want them are happy to pay for PhD student interns. Why do precious and limited NSF funds need to be deployed for this? Most PhD student pursue industry jobs anyways - that has always been true. Use NSF funds to support basic science that industry wont support!

Jonathan Wosen@jonathanwosen.bsky.social · 7d ago

With academic jobs few and far between, the NSF is testing a new approach to graduate education: Giving Ph.D. students industry experience — and dollars — as part of their training. For more, see my latest for @statnews.com. www.statnews.com/2026/07/29/h...

I’ve treated thousands of COVID patients who needed to be hospitalized but I’ve never seen a single person who needed to be hospitalized for a complication from a COVID vaccine. Cause these people are always lying.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."

public health guy@publichealthguy1.bsky.social · last wk.

a lot of what we're seeing today is downstream of the lab leak conspiracy theory. there's a lot of people across media, including legacy newsrooms, who went down that rabbit hole and never came back up for air. it's embarrassing, and no surprise, it tends to be the people flambéing their brains on X
