I wrote about what it means for nearly half-a-million union contracts to dissolve overnight. Union presidents were locked out of their offices. Moms are being forced to cut their maternity leaves short. Clerical staff are answering VA hospital call bells.

So Republicans DO know their bill will hurt working Americans to give special tax treatment to corporations. Apparently they don’t give a damn because they are planning to vote for it…

Sen. Hawley, now a YES on ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ says Rs have a “lot of thinking to do” on Medicaid. “We can't be cutting healthcare for working people and for poor people in order to constantly give special tax treatment to corporations,” he told me.

My pre-PhD work is out @CurrentBiology! We studied Alston’s singing mice, neotropical rodent that produces loud, human-audible 'songs' and engages in vocal turn-taking. Using thermal imaging in semi-natural arena, we probed song use across social contexts. https://t.co/oYWu2jwIeX

@404mediaco @josephfcox @micahflee I speculated about the potential for hackers to access the archived messages in @DropSiteNews. If these hackers could get in so easily, highly likely some intelligence agencies are already in there. Also it seems like they’re just lying about the archives being encrypted?

Here's the case. Trump's alignment with Putin - and his plan to sell out Ukraine - is shameful. But it's part of a bigger story. Trump sides with dictators bc it legitimizes his plan for America: a Russian-style kleptocracy where the rich steal from us to enrich themselves.
