And Trump got very mad at Steve Doocy for asking about this.

There is going to be months if not years of this sort of barbarism coming out.

Denmark Becomes First EU Country to Eliminate Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission — Konsyse The World Health Organization officially certified Denmark as the first European Union member to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis.

KONSYSE: Officials noted that universal health coverage underpinned the success of the national program. Danish health providers identified risks early by providing integrated screening during pregnancy and utilizing strong data systems.

Spring is arriving earlier due to climate change And that has a broad impact—from tourism to drought to allergies

"Climate change is bringing earlier seasonal warming to many pockets of the Mountain West. With that come implications for wide-ranging impacts from fewer snow days at ski resorts to parched farms and ranches." via @knpr.org

OpenAI Is Opening the Door to Government Spying Whether it means to or not

New: @matteowong.bsky.social talked to a number of legal experts about OpenAI's contract with the Pentagon. It sure does look like mass surveillance of Americans through GPT and autonomous weapons are on the table... and it isn't really up to OpenAI, anyway.

This is what new age climate change denial looks like.

The truth is that some can't help themselves to keep digging, even while putting their names on papers comfirming acceleration of global warming and the contributing factors of reducing aerosols and continued greenhouse gas emissions.

One last graphic showing Arctic sea-ice volume, running second behind 2017, this one using the "monthly average" volume posted by PIOMAS.

The accelerating Arctic sea-ice catastrophe is bad enough, no need to catastrophize.

I just did a more rigorous computation for increasing Earth's albedo (reflectivity) using 92% efficient mirrors.

To get back to year 2000 albedo levels, we only need a band about 84 km wide (42 km North & South of the equator) of mirrors circling the earth.

The more you know!

Passing this along for Roger...

They are an evil, amoral redevelopment agency. They will invade, destroy, rebuild, while taking the once sovereign nation's assets, minerals, metals, oil, LNG, and kill/displace people, etc.

One of the most captivating little turns of phrase in Gravity's Rainbow goes "barrage balloons to populate fat and friendly the daybreak." I think about its construction all the time, whenever I want to write a better sentence.

I fear "riding in a golf cart fatly" is now forever its twin.

Can’t say that I don’t believe it but holy fucking shit. Not only are they scooping these boot lickers up, they are foolish enough to tell the world?? May each & every one of them be treated like the pariahs that they are. Jesus H Fucking Christ on a crutch AND a goddamn bicycle this is so wrong!

Fun fact: The states with the lowest percentage of passport issuance are red states

Rep. Randy Fine claims it was Iran, not the US, that bombed a girls school killing over 160 people.

When asked what evidence he has — he says, “what's the evidence they didn’t?”

Clip two from today for the trials.

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.

Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud It'd be laughable if people weren't getting hurt.

"The truth is Vance’s 'war on fraud' is a phantom, a PR effort that will likely uncover no misdeeds that weren’t already known to actual fraud investigators. Vance’s pretend fight against fraud is the real fraud, and it’s just what we might expect from the most corrupt administration in history."

Loose Talk of ‘Fake News’ Is Bad for Democracy The secretary of defense shouldn’t pit the military against the media.

My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/loose-talk...

"The US is demolishing Iran far ahead of schedule," (initially, 4 to 5 weeks?), whilst 'Centcom' has requested additional intelligence officers to help with planning & operations for at least 100 days (a little more than 14 weeks)

Something doesn't seem to add up here...

Folks who didn’t grow up in American evangelicalism & think that “we’re at war to kick off Armaggedon” story sounds far-fetched—it isn’t. There are many folks—lots now in positions of power—who desperately want war in the Middle East because it’s required by their interpretation of Biblical prophecy

The subpoena passed 24-19. Bondi is coming in to Oversight. We can hold the Epstein class accountable if we are willing to cross the aisle and build a coalition of accountability.

Trump is a pathetic idiot and traitor. Real scum

Graphic featuring a quote from Senator Ed Markey that reads: “Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran has already cost $2 billion. Americans don’t want another endless war. We should be funding health care, not warfare.” Markey is shown speaking into a microphone at a press conference, wearing glasses and a suit, with a blue background behind him.

$2 billion already spent on Trump’s war.

Tupac said it decades ago.
“They got money for the war but can’t feed the poor.”

Still true. 😔

#SheShed #Voices4Victory

Money for the oligarchy and corpocracy. Money for the forever wars. Money for Raytheon. Money for Palantir. Money for AI, which will cause unemployment/displacement in jobs. Money for everything but for we, the people. No rights. No social safety nets. No biz regulations. And no justice, no peace.

The human toll from any war is horrible .🪦

This new war in the Middle East has rattled markets and upended supply chains, threatening to drive prices higher for American consumers on everything from home loans, gas, healthcare to groceries.🏠🛢️🥘

Affordability has already been impossible .

WHY wouldn’t Republicans want transparency in these government-funded, private, FOR PROFIT detention centers? If the GOP has ANY compassion, mercy, empathy, CHRISTIANITY, why wouldn’t they want to make sure the rich isn’t profiting off human misery (which has happened throughout history)ON OUR DIME?

Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal and extremely rare.

So what’s the SAVE Act really about?

Forcing millions of citizens to dig up passports or birth certificates just to register to vote.

Solve a fake problem. Create real barriers. #SaveActTaxesVoters
