The #GOP’s New #Medicaid Denialism
Unable to defend their #healthcare #cuts on the merits, congressional #Republicans have pivoted to magical thinking.
Republicans in #Congress claim to have achieved something truly miraculous. Their One Big Beautiful Bill Act, they argue, would cut nearly $800B from Medicaid spending over 10yrs without causing any Americans to lose #health care—or, at least, without making anyone who loses health care worse off.

The Truth About #Diddy Might Be Darker Than the Rumors

The conspiratorial guesswork distracts from the all-too-ordinary issues at the center of his case.

“…the speed & sheer giddiness with which conspiracist thinking eclipsed the known details of #Combs’s case confirmed a few bleak realities about the psyche of a country in which economic #inequality & #SexualAbuse are both stubbornly endemic.

“Large-scale firings spearheaded by DOGE have cut support offices — especially IT shops — that assisted federal workers with issues ranging from glitching computers to broken desk chairs.”

This is what my team does! I've lost 50 percent of my staff. And we have 100 percent return to office. The math isn't mathing as the kids say

It’s the #LibraryOfCongress.
But #Trump claims it’s his.
Trump’s new target in his campaign to expand #ExecutivePower: the Library of Congress. Never mind the name—admin attys are now arguing the main #research #library of the #legislative branch doesn’t belong to #Congress at all.
A #legal push to claim the Library as executive turf isn’t a one-off. It’s the latest move in a broader effort by Trump…to erase the…lines that separate the branches of govt.

#Trump’s Attacks Threaten Much More Than #Harvard

If the government succeeds in bullying the richest #university into submission, what institutions will be safe?

by Greg Lukianoff

“If the government can coerce the richest school in America without #DueProcess, it can crush a community college—or a #CivilLiberties nonprofit—without batting an eyelid.”

As #ElonMusk became one of #Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies & donating about $275M to help him win the presidency, he was also using #drugs far more intensely than previously known [tho pretty obvious to the casual observer], acc/to people familiar w/his activities.

'The Trump administration released a report last week that it billed as a “clear, evidence-based foundation” for action on a range of children’s health issues.

But the report, from the presidential Make America Healthy Again Commission, cited studies that did not exist. These included fictitious studies on direct-to-consumer drug advertising, mental illness and medications prescribed for children with asthma.'
