(🧵) Cancer sucks. On that we agree, and it’s absolutely horrible that Ben Sasse is dying of pancreatic cancer. 🙏🏽 But in this very long interview, there’s no mention of the total annihilation his (Republican) party has done to medical science, research, and health coverage. Walk with me… 1/4

Everyone pause everything until our people are home 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Psychologist Dr. John Gartner on Donald Trump: "He has the most severe personality disorder that a human being can have. It's called malignant narcissism. It was originally introduced by Erich Fromm, who escaped the Nazis, to describe the psychology of Hitler and other murderous dictators like him."

and very very very stupid 🇨🇦

Ok, at the 10 minute mark I'm officially nervous 🇨🇦

Ok Blue Jays. You played ball🇨🇦

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Scott Perry only has one volume: YELL Also, Scott Perry thinks if you blow up a bank in Iran, they can't receive money like it's 1962. 🇨🇦

Fuck you @60minutes.bsky.social for normalizing RFK Jr with your promo on ultra processed food. This is a man who is causing generational harm to your population and you are praising him for telling people not to eat a hot dog. I can't even...🇨🇦

We stood shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. in war and crisis. Trump repaid that loyalty with threats, tariffs & insults. That’s not leadership it’s betrayal! You don’t threaten your closest ally & expect respect. You earn isolation! We’re not your Punching Bag!! #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
