CNN@cnn.com · 6d agoA 40-year-old woman who lived in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, has died from measles complications, the county coroner confirmed. It’s the third measles-associated death in a fast-growing outbreak that’s sparked a political clash between state and federal officials. https://cnn.it/3Vc0I2m
This is alarming: ICE will spend $20M on electric shock gloves for its agents. This comes as ICE whistleblowers continue warn of new recruits' lack of training and violent backgrounds. Meanwhile the social safety net is gutted — just to funnel billions to Trump's masked thugs.
@tucsonkinkbear.bsky.social too bad you’re not more versatile. Total playroom up Oro Valley way
@holehanded.bsky.social hey buddy. Did you see that short electro video I sent you about 15-20 minutes ago?
rfk jr went through a whole health-focused presidential campaign and hhs secretary confirmation process with no mainstream outlet reporting that he believes, as stated in a book he wrote 4 years ago, that diseases are caused by evil clouds rising up from swamps and rotting garbage
If Bernie Madoff weren't dead already, I'm sure Trump would've pardoned him by now.

The Narcan Program Has Saved Thousands Of Lives! This Is Barbaric!
All I want is a seaside cottage, the rumble of thunder in the distance, an Agatha Christie novel, an emotional support owl, a crackling fire, a whistling kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of freshly-baked scones.
Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.
I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.
Donald Trump's flurry of pathetic, deranged posts this morning proves once again—that’s all he’s got. Republicans in Congress might still be scared of his mean tweets, but the rest of the world is laughing at him.
3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs
The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

Bravo to Prince Harry for visiting the Superhumans Center in Lyiv, Ukraine as opposed to Cadet Bone Spurs who won’t support these hero’s who are fighting for their countries democracy!!
Is anyone surprised? How DOGE used Social Security data to push dubious fraud claims www.npr.org/2025/04/11/n...

if King Charles wears a sweatshirt to greet Zelensky at Sandringham tomorrow, I am embracing monarchism.
WHY IS ZELENSKY NOT WEARING A SUIT? (I am joking. What a relief it must be for him to be among friends again. If anyone ever deserved a hug, it is that man)
Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 2y agoUK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.
They had JD Vance there next to Trump because Zelenskyy would have completely destroyed Trump solo — Trump is too weak and slow and frail now. And even 2-on-1, Zelenskyy still won.
Governor Josh Shapiro: He has demonstrated nothing but weakness when it comes to national security over the course of his first month in office.
I had the privilege of talking to @apnews.com about WIRED's Elon Musk and politics coverage. Most important thing: We're not slowing down, we're not stopping, and we're going to cover this story, relentlessly, for as long as we need to. apnews.com/article/elon...
Not known for political coverage, Wired takes a leading role in tracking Elon Musk's team
The tech outlet Wired set up a new politics team in time for the presidential election — but its most impactful work is coming after the election is over.

New piece from me @goodauth.bsky.social on why Riyadh talks were very bad, why Rubio's appt was doomed from the start, and why U.S. diplomacy is in crisis (hint: giving away the store is not diplomacy). To paraphrase @dandrezner.bsky.social, I wrote sharper today. goodauthority.org/news/why-hig...
U.S. diplomacy is in crisis.
U.S. diplomacy in Europe and Marco Rubio's bilateral talks with Russia aren't really about ending the war in Ukraine, or a lasting peace.

“In the past six months Russia has been humiliated in Syria, failed to dislodge three Ukrainian brigades from the Kursk region, and taken more than 200,000 casualties in advancing roughly the distance from central London to Heathrow airport.”

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?
