📍RFK Jr. has crossed the Rubicon. The war on science and vaccines isn’t looming - it’s here. I had hoped that after the darkest days of the pandemic, we could start rebuilding a stronger, more science-driven public health system. I was wrong. So, starting today, I’m back. And I

Huge list of layoffs. Most of these people can’t easily find new jobs immediately in this economy, especially when ADP showing the largest job loss month in 2.5 years, and 2025 job cuts of -1.1 million to date the sharpest since 2020. The Fed needs sharp rate cut now!

Jesus—Nearly half (47%) of Republicans think the NASA moon landing in 1969 was faked or have doubts, and 52% think vaccines cause autism or have doubts.

Recession looming—U.S. job cuts reach -1.17 million this year, most since 2020. The Fed needs to immediately cut rates—and maybe even by half a point to stem the tide of layoffs.

When you can’t win the Nobel Peace Prize… Dear Leader just names his Institute of Peace after himself. Fun fact—it was an independent institution until Trump replaced the board and knocked down the front door using DC police after he federalized them. So a peaceful transition?

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.” They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

I think Fed has to cut rates this month now. Worst job numbers (ADP) in 2.5 years. -32,000 loss vs +10,000 expected gain.

😮Astonishing. A huge US study found that children exposed to maternal covid in pregnancy were much more likely to have developmental delays or related issues by age 3 - even after accounting for other factors. How on earth is this not headline news everywhere?

Under the laws of war, you never attack anyone who is hors de combat: shipwrecked, wounded, defenseless, or already in your power. Those two men clinging to the wreckage were exactly that. Ordering their death anyway crosses an even brighter line: the ban on no quarter - the

Dear @SecWar: I read the classified legal memo. Nothing in the memo, or military law, authorizes a second kinetic strike against defenseless survivors. If the reports are true, then a war crime was committed. Also, there is generally no statute of limitations for war crimes.

So it looks like a war crime to all these military legal experts…. Remember that Trump cannot pardon something that is in violation of international law. Even if the US doesn’t recognize the ICC right now that doesn’t mean the ICC can’t arrest Hegseth in the future.

Trump says every “drug boat” equals 25,000 American lives saved. @JuanOrlandoH trafficked 400 tons of cocaine — the equivalent of ~200 drug boats. By Trump’s own formula, he just pardoned a man who “killed” 5 million Americans.
