@timmiller.bsky.social pushes back on the idea that Trump is suddenly some cross-ideological populist figure.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s break isn’t evidence of a realignment—it’s proof the MAGA brand is cracking. The left shouldn’t help prop it back up.

Update: The U.S. Coast Guard reversed course, saying the swastika and noose were indeed hate symbols that are prohibited.
This came hours after The Post reported that the service was about to enact a new policy that downgraded those symbols.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

I've written about how RFK Jr is a menace to health. Here's yet another thing on his and Trump's watch. A lot of people are going to die because of this.

Trump admin axed 383 active clinical trials, dumping over 74K participants

The lack of an objective diagnostic tool for #MECFS is a problem for healthcare providers and a burden to patients. OMF’s BioQuest project aims to identify a unique #biomarker signature for ME/CFS that can be easily sampled in a primary care setting.

TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7
