Since RFK is all about the science (hah!), let's give him the measles and see if his immunity is still strong.

Seriously, if you've got plans to come to the United States this year on a matter which is not absolutely essential, please cancel the ticket and get a refund.

If they're non-refundable, still ... consider the lost money a small price to pay for your safety.

The risks are too great right now.

Reminder, the U.S. government shuts down Friday night if the Republicans don't figure out how to fund it.

Also, House Republicans who demanded an end to remote work are planning on ending their work week on a Tuesday.

Back when #Swasticar launched the #Cybertruck, #Musk said it would be waterproof enough that you could briefly use it as a boat. It turns out that you should NOT try this at home. https://electrek.co/2025/03/11/tesla-cybertruck-sank-when-launching-a-jetski-after-musk-said-you-could-use-the-truck-as-a-boat/

Trump has accomplished two things:
1) United the world in hatred of Trump.
2) Made other countries seem infinitely better than they ever seemed before.

We should be more scared of measles. Worth noting that things are going downhill so quickly, I now need to update these videos in the days between recording and posting. In this case, a 2nd person died & the father of the dead child has announced he's still anti-vax. https://skepchick.org/2025/03/we-should-be-more-scared-of-measles/

Whatta fuckin moron. I like what was done with the font on the Russian asset’s name.

The #Trump admin has suspended a federal program that provided free at-home #COVID testing.

⚡️Musk calls Sen. Mark Kelly a 'traitor' over Ukraine trip, Kelly pushes back.

"Elon, if you don't understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do," Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly wrote.

Does your campus have a policy or process for No-Confidence votes for admin/senior leadership? Our Academic Policy & Planning Senate Committee, which I chair, was tasked with developing a policy for our campus. I've found a few good examples. If you have a policy/process, please post here or DM me

This is so beautiful. The US state of Kentucky overwhelmingly voted for Trump, and now Trump has caused a trade war with Canada in which Canada has retaliated by removing all bourbon from Kentucky’s distilleries, threatening a USD 9 billion industry and 23,000 jobs.

You wanted "America First” — now enjoy the aftertaste!

As a veteran, I've never had a woke person interfere with my military benefits.

But an unelected billionaire just decided to fire 80,000 employees from the Department of Veterans Affairs and shut down specialized veterans medical care and kill crisis assistance to veterans across the entire nation.

The US has completely lost their mind.

This failed by only 9 votes. NINE.
