Now babies are infected at birth. #CongenitalMeasles has rarely been seen in the US That’s changing as #vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected. Good job, Trump/RFKjr. :( #Health https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/congenital-measles-pennsylvania-outbreak-grows-babies-infected-rcna599431

  Actually, I think the #AI crisis began in 1968. Back then, we all thought it was just science fiction. But some knew it wasn't. And they never did sh*t about it https://youtu.be/Wy4EfdnMZ5g?si=4Mu9sZEeApUnlg6P

  The Trump administration will pay the German #energy firm RWE $1.22B to abandon plans to build wind farms off the coasts of #NewYork, #California and #Louisiana, the company announced on Thursday. Under the agreement, RWE will voluntarily surrender three leases it owned for wind farms in federal waters. Not a big fan of current status of wind energy, but Trump keeps making us even more vulnerable to intl disruptions like #Hormuz just to enrich his cronies. https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-s...

  The Democratic fear of Progressives, esp as campaigners & candidates goes all the way back to George McGovern when he was the antiwar Dem candidate for the Presidency against Nixon. His campaign ended in poss the biggest disaster for Dems & they've never gotten over it. But the main blame that stuck was his progressive, antiwar stance, when actually there was a LOT more to it: https://www.google.com/search?q=George+mcgovern+debacle&oq=George+mcgovern+debacle&gs_lcrp=EgZjaH...

  Trump is costing taxpayers millions in legal fees; #RFKjr rolls out new cooking show while ignoring his actual job; Rubio humiliated by error-riddled AI-generated map of Africa that got every single country wrong.

  Over there on 🦋 @DebbieT156@toad.social says: Governor Hobbs vetoed six anti-abortion bills last session-protecting access while Republicans pushed bans with no exceptions. In #AZ, where #AbortionRights won at the ballot even as races stayed close, that veto pen matters for every family making private medical decisions.

  From @senwhitehouse on 🦋 40mins ago: Tonight seems to be the ceremonial kickoff of President Trump’s campaign to interfere in the November election. Trump has badly lost independent voters, even MAGA is disheartened; he is failing and unpopular, and he’s dragging his party down with him in the midterms. We are witnessing a failed, unstable president now trying to misuse the powers of the federal government to taint an American election, backed by his coterie of creepy billionaires. 1 #USpol

  RE: https://veganism.social/@vinay/116916483789709968 OMG!!!! IS THE WORLD COMPLETELY BREAKING APART??? Are we now to fall into a great, yawning abyss never again to know or enjoy anything? Like Trump and the GOP going away forever to somewhere that is not anywhere near the White House, Washington, DC - or even on the planet. Now *that* would be bliss. And this nightmare would be over and we could commence repairing all the damage they have done.

  Yale Law School dean and some faculty fight to stop the university from entering into a Trump deal to resolve investigations which have not been completed into its admissions practices & for which no wrongdoing has been found.
