Donald Trump has spent at least $45 BILLION on his Iran war. $30 billion could've extended ACA tax credits for a year and kept premiums from skyrocketing. $13 billion could've paid for Head Start for a year. AND we'd still have money left over.

If this thread doesn’t make you appreciative, nothing will.

Happy No Kings Day! Time to hit the streets.

www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w... No way would I turn over my medical records to an experimental app and especially when encouraged by a prior DOGE exec. HHS is sinking to new lows.

DT “ has turned the White House into a gold mine”.

The $90 that showed up in my bank account today from the SS (Medicare) administration was sent directly on to Jon Ossoff and @AlanBradstock. I’d rather that $$ be spent on what it was originally set aside for but DT feels otherwise.

Gavin Newsom… “An American president is talking about Los Angeles and San Diego being "taken out." Where the hell is Congress? This is dangerous. The time to stand up is NOW.”

Part of the post-Trump repairs to democracy must be inspectors general. What if we house them in the legislative branch, where a president cannot fire them? Courts could serve as a check.

The Kennedy Center was doing fine until DT came along.

This is how science, medicine, and public health evolve over time and behind the scenes until one day we wake up to find someone has takes an axe to it.

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Timely.

For Trump, colleges and universities are the enemy for a fairly obvious reason: no one with a college education votes for him. The denial of international visas aims to suck up an essential revenue stream for universities and to put their continuation in doubt. That's the object of this exercise.

This makes complete sense. Just like any new technology that is improved upon over time to be smaller, faster, more precise.

I’d love to have coffee with Pete, but I promise that smarter people than me are already working on a Project 2027/2029 blueprint to un-fuck as much of this as possible.

If you’re looking for a way to show up for our national parks, Tuesday, August 25 is the day. The NPCA is organizing a nationwide Day of Action on the National Park Service’s 110th birthday, with events and advocacy stations happening at parks around the country.

With no due process.

For the press:

Bizarre and rather frightening take on childhood vaccinations by Stephen Miller. We’re living in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

🤣😂😅

This is how it’s done. Concede defeat, congratulate the winner, and pledge to work together to advance the interests of the people. 👏👏👏

A key part of the COVID Amnesia Project is denying who was in charge in 2020.

My favorite Fauci photo: When he hugged nurse Nina Pham in October 2014, to celebrate her recovery from Ebola and prove it was safe to touch survivors.

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

Great news for democracy that's terrible for Trump. Eight wins the corporate media buried this week. Read them all: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

Sums it up nicely…

Just a reminder: friends of Trump are not permitted to lose elections, and the FBI will be deployed to ensure they do not.

But why? In a brilliant new video, Justin Portela goes much deeper into the history than I'd ever known. I highly recommend watching it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJYf...

Investigating a homicide that DOJ is working to cover-up. This is the way. We need all the details. And we need to know the identity of the perps.

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country. Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!
