They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term.

They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

This is a United States Senator

MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities

BANKS: You probably deserved it

MACK: Why did I deserve it?

BANKS: Because you look like a clown

NEW: Chaos at the ICE detention centre in New Jersey.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested by the DOJ after Members of Congress (apparently being shoved by agents) attempted to include him on a visit.

Baraka has opposed the facility, saying it opened without permits.

It’s Hump Day, and Trump has a strange, disturbing message for women as he observes Women’s History Month: "I'm going to be known as the ‘fertilization president.’ That's not bad. I've been called much worse. Actually, I like it."

Speaking for the vast majority of women, we do not like it.

@aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔
