Woooooowww. This is the confirmation we’ve been waiting for! Moderna and Merck’s personalized mRNA cancer vaccine reduced the risk of melanoma recurrence or death by 42% when added to Keytruda after surgery, compared with Keytruda alone! And yes, it uses the same mRNA technology behind the COVID vaccines!

As long as we are doing DNA tests now, someone should DNA test Vivek Mother Fucking Ramaswamy to see if he is even a fucking human being.

I’ll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin. Go down the checklist. 1. Destroyed the Western alliance? Putin wanted that. 2. Threatened a NATO ally over Greenland? Putin wanted that. 3. Pulled out of the intermediate nuclear pact? Putin wanted that. 4. Withdrawing 25-40,000 troops from Western Europe while Russian bellicosity is rising? Putin wanted that. 5. Russian satellites giving coordinates to Iranians killing our soldiers, and his response is “they kill us, we kill them”? What American president says that? I think he’s been compromised. The election of Donald Trump may be the greatest foreign policy success in post-Czarist Russian history.

The finale of THE DIPLOMAT says a great deal about putting country over party.

We have abandoned Ukraine in favor of Russia. Heartbreaking and sick stuff.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin. apnews.com/article/russia-sa…

THE DIPLOMAT: Listening to people who know what they're talking about and articulate themselves in actual sentences makes me homesick for politicians who are both smart and compassionate and love their country more than $$$.

Damn, just 0.45 Scaramuccis

On Tues, Trump was asked directly whether we had cut off intelligence sharing with Ukraine. He said no. Now we learn that yes, his White House cut off access to critical satellite services to Ukraine. How many times do we have to learn this lesson? Trump’s word means nothing.

NEW: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter.

There's no more pretense. The shameful truth is now clear. By withholding critical Intel and Internet services, and lifting sanctions on Russia to replenish Putin's war machine, @realDonaldTrump & @elonmusk are now fully complicit. They're on Putin's side. nytimes.com/2026/10/14/world… via @NYTimes

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from. If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems." The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't. ​There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content. There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place. It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room. ​That needs to change. And fast.

When he’s right, he’s right.

Universities aren't suppressing wages for Americans. Greedy corporations are. They just want to attack higher education because anti-intellectualism is a hallmark of fascism.

You don’t make America stronger by shutting the door on talent. You invest in American workers and attract the world’s best and brightest. Donald Trump is taking a sledgehammer to legal immigration and undermining our economy — all to distract from his own failures.

“If you don’t want to watch the execution, then don’t watch.” Ok… let’s go with that. Also, if you don’t support same-sex marriage, don’t have one. If you don’t support drag shows, don’t go. If you don’t support abortion access, don’t have one. We can do this all day.

America's top research universities have attained their preeminent status by attracting the best and the brightest faculty and grad students from abroad. (Including the parents of Usha Vance.) VP Vance wants to destroy that. In the long run, we'll all pay for xenophobia.

As the former Mayor of PittsburgH and the former Member of Council & Chief of Staff who represented Pittsburgh’s University district for 19 years (1995-2014) before serving as Mayor for 8 years (2014-2022), I tell you, without question, this is racist bullshit.
