It’s not deeply troubling, it’s treasonous what this administration is doing.

Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social

Trump's envoy calls Vladimir Putin a great "humanitarian" It's the latest cozying by Team Trump to Putin Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) says it's all deeply troubling

Trump is a traitor! Musk should be stripped of his US citizenship.

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Thank heaven someone finally asked the question: "How do you define socialism?" Because this REALLY ISN'T IT. Sheesh. "Socialism" to Vance is -- random things I hate.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

ms.nowPennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

Impeach RFK Jr!

Rachel Maddow@maddow.bsky.social

"At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care. Congenital measles is a disease that’s rarely, if ever, seen in the U.S..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

A women physician who doesn’t have the courage to support contraception. Where do they find these people?

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov

Trump's FDA nominee refused to say whether she believes contraception, like an IUD, constitutes abortion. WHAT!? We need an FDA commissioner who believes in science, not an anti-abortion extremist. Every Senator should vote NO.

Today in 1848 the American Association for the Advancement of Science was established. let us all push for science and facts in how we make policy decisions.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it is refreshing to see the latest technology being used to help us through a difficult time, rather than mining our personal data to annoy us, steal our identities, rip us off, and interfere with our elections.

This anti-science administration is a danger to us all.

A civilian geography professor was fired from West Point for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

MASA - Make America Sick Again

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth

This Jersey Girl wishes everyone a Happy New Jersey Day!

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.gov

The Garden State is known for our diners, our attitude, and our unforgettable icons (like Lucy). But what I love most about Jersey is our people, our sense of community, and how we always have each others' backs. Happy National New Jersey Day!

Our tax dollars at work!

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.

Replacing evidence-based scholarship with government-approved narratives isn't patriotism, it's propaganda. History should be written by historians, not politicians trying to reshape the past to fit an ideological agenda.

Are we great yet?

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

Another boomer here with a millennial daughter and gen-alpha grandkids. All vaccinated!

Jennifer Shin - WTAF@jennifershin.bsky.social

I'm a boomer and have millennial and gen-z daughters who understand why we have vaccines and believe in them. It's not a generational thing. It's an intelligence, critical thinking, feelings over facts thing.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

So are you going to have to take a pregnancy test before you board a plane? What is wrong with these people!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Brian Kilmeade suggests to an agreeing DHS Secretary Markwayne Mulling that pregnant foreign women should be barred from traveling to the United States

This is dangerous and deranged. Someone with zero healthcare or medical experience interfering with your treatment as prescribed by your physician. Antidepressants are lifesaving!

RFK Jr. is attacking evidence-based mental health treatments while simultaneously touting debunked claims on these life-saving medications. Pseudoscience shouldn't be running America's public health agencies. Help us embolden a Congress to remove RFK Jr.: zurl.co/wjLLx Article: zurl.co/g36xn
