I understand your concerns, but they are not the same. Trump is a narcissist, pedophile, grifter, with multiple lost court cases for corruption and sexual assult. To say Platner is the same is outrageous and ridiculous.

This is bonkers. Why is America's Immigration Enforcement doing any kind of security work in another country? That's not their job to begin with. It was insane when they were sent to vacation in Italy, now they're being sent to vacation in Canada.🤦🤦🤦

Unsurprisingly, ICE and CPB will shield criminal behavior in their own ranks.

AI and consumer spending by the rich are the only things bouying GDP growth right now. Without those two dynamics, we'd have negative GDP growth. It's unsustainable.

For any Republican that claims Biden weaponized the DOJ, please find one statement where he directed the DOJ to charge or arrest anyone. You won't be able to find it. But, it's easy to find Trump doing just that.

And so it begins. The McCarthyism of America once again.

Mamdani will likely win the Dem nod for Mayor after IRV. He's leading by 8% with 80% of the vote in. This will send shock waves through the Democratic party. Old guard Dems look out, you may be next.

Trump: I always favor dictators over democratic leaders, so ALL CAPS insult for Putin killing civilians; no help for Zelensky. But, what’s really important is that you know it wasn’t my fault, because I’m never to blame for anything, even Putin's Trump-enabled brazen behavior now.

Key takeaway. I'm glad Griffen finally conceeded, but not after a handful of judges in NC state courts sided w/him, most often along partisan lines. They always want to throw out votes after the fact, and deny lawful voters their rights often using irrelevant technicalities.

Elon Musk to Tesla Cybertruck buyers: No take-backs. It’s a lemon Now, some Cybertruck owners are reporting that Tesla will not accept its own vehicle as a trade-in, according to electric vehicle website Electrek.

This is a pretty devastating report, and suggests the dire need for due process. Even if some of the 75% are unprosecuted gang members, they sent them to a foreign gulag. The cruelty is the point.

This is pretty sobering. Trump is endangering decades of innovative medical research to satisfy a base that wants to burn the entire country down. Mission accomplished.

Thank you for sharing news of our initiative... we are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from U of Maryland, UPenn, and Georgia Tech + more whose aim is to communicate the impacts of federal cuts on science and health research nationwide. Full explainer thread here: bsky.app/profile/josh...

This. Trump isn't just getting rid of federal employees he doesn't like. He's effectively undermining our competitive advantage in a lot of science areas. So, linger for decades is the tip of the spear.

Sean Carroll@seanmcarroll.bsky.social · last yr.

The DOGE etc. damage to US science will have enormous effects that will linger for decades. But they will be sufficiently gradual and diffuse that people who want to pretend the cause wasn't obvious will be able to do so.
