Kennedy is a eugenicist who believes that "weak" people dying serves the common good. Once you understand that, decisions like this become easier to understand. In his mind, needing an organ transplant means that you're weak and inferior and should die.

UNEARTHED AUDIO: Todd Blanche, Trump's nominee for Attorney General, is working to ban abortion in "every single state." Republicans in the Senate just voted to advance Blanche's nomination out of committee.
“Yes, that’s right, folks—I’m the adorable, adorable fluffy furball who has been crawling all over your social media feeds,” the commander-in-chief said before licking the back of his hand and letting out a playful mew.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.
🔥The CEO of #oil giant TotalEnergies offers free fuel to fight #EuropeanWildfires - feels like Malboro offering chemotherapy vouchers with cigarettes.
The historic amnesia on display here is stunning. Hospitals were setting up makeshift morgues in parking lots because they could not keep up.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoRFK Jr: Trump wanted to end lockdowns. In Fauci's diary, he talks about how the president was calling him trying to get him to reopen the country BASH: The lockdowns were down by governors K: They cited Fauci B: Govs were hearing from hospitals that their ICUs were overrun K: That's not true
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Here is a version in Fahrenheit my American compatriots:
Connecting with someone’s “weird weather kid” is one of my favorite parts of being a scientist. It’s really rewarding to share knowledge with young people so excited about science. Shamelessly it’s also pretty cool to be a rockstar in someone’s eyes. Such a sweet story.
NPR@npr.org · 4d agoNPR asked an aspiring scientist in Philadelphia to interview an adult who is living his dream about his career in conservation science.
It would be easy to call this the “new normal“ but that’s incorrect. In actual fact, “normal” is going to keep getting worse and worse and worse. Just how bad it will get depends entirely on how fast & far we go on real, legitimate (not performative) #ClimateAction. We know how. It’s about will.
Nahel Belgherze@wxnb.bsky.social · 6d agoBordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

This is one of the King Plats, the earliest precise surveys of DC, showing the home of Daniel Carroll of Duddington, between the Capitol and the Navy Yard. It shows a spring! And a springhouse, and a little channel flowing off to the southwest.
Kentucky is losing 300 acres of farmland a day due to industrialization + data centers. Farmers are struggling and rural areas face a housing crisis. Instead of solving those challenges, Rep. James Comer has prioritized 20 different bills attacking DC. www.washingtoninformer.com/comer-dc-tax...

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

Beyond words from this President’s own vanity. First Lt. Tyler Feehan, Sgt. Angel Rampersad, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, and Sgt. Michael Swinton deserve to be recognized for their service.
Aric Toler@aric.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of Iran war casualties.

Is it stunning? Or is it something literally every sentient person knew already? Something that the media should have been able to point out a long time ago, without waiting for an official admission?
tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
