Why is it illegal to drink while driving but ok to smoke pot while driving?

There were 2,283 measles cases reported in the United States in 2025. Just over two months into 2026, more than 1,200 cases have already been reported. story via @caitlinsievers.bsky.social

I think Trump should lead by example and volunteer to show the courage he demands of tanker captains through the Strait of Hormuz by riding on the bridge of the very first tanker loaded with oil to try to make the run.

Direct hit!

And #2: The Senate race is set between GOP incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith and Scott Colom for Dems. Colom is a DA whose nomination to a lifetime federal judgeship by Biden was blocked by Hyde-Smith.

Exclusive: The Social Security Administration’s internal watchdog is investigating allegations that a former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive and offered it to his current employer.

A nice result from tonight: one of the Republican candidates resigned his seat on the Dalton City Council to run for GA114. Although they're technically nonpartisan elections, the woman who won the election to replace him tonight was the Democrat.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House. Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports. (Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.) This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

You better believe we’ll be investigating. newrepublic.com/post/207555/...

It was a lie, not an opinion. A blatant and obvious lie. Something he knew was a lie. And not just another one of the hundreds of lies he tells every day - a lie about the killing of at least 175 people, mostly girls who were attending school. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Kristi Noem spent 220 million on her self-promotion ad and Hegseth said, "Hold my fruit basket." newrepublic.com/post/207555/...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was just asked about this story and she said she doesn’t have the exact number but “it’s in that ballpark.”

When you’ve lost the biggest pied piper cheerleader for the stock market.

Absolute hog.

I swear YouTubeTV if you don’t stop promoting that First Whore movie, I’m going to cancel.

"AFTER getting briefed" Pretty much the opposite of everything Trump said.

Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."

Republicans control the whole of government, but can’t seem to govern.

Trump doesn’t lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. Sometimes I even have to remind myself.

The DNC has filed a lawsuit to force the Trump administration to reveal any plans to place armed federal agents or soldiers at polling places.

TIL Trump didn't bother to refill the strategic petroleum reserve last year when oil was dirt cheap. what can you even say www.ft.com/content/d546...

“I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.” “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end – and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into." - Donald Trump "Death and destruction from the sky all day long." - Pete Hegseth

Monster

On the first day of this war, the US bombed a school with almost the same exact death toll as when Timothy McVeigh bombed the daycare center of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. And our leaders wonder why Iran doesn't surrender immediately.

That's what they call an Epstienian slip

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why? Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

The response is….comprehensive.

'Huge': Trump's own appointee finds ICE likely ran unlawful racial profiling operation www.rawstory.com/trump-ice-ra...

TRUMP ADMITS HE DROVE GAS PRICES UP AT THE PUMP!

A Swiss kick in the ass.

In case you’d forgotten Arizona Republicans hired “Cyber Ninjas” to audit 2020 election result in Maricopa County & Biden picked up 360 more votes when it was done

😞 @dailykos.com www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

This comes a month after another Republican congressman, Randy Fine of Florida, said: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” Not a peep out of Mike Johnson after that one.

The only Dems “in a bind” about funding this war are ones beholden to AIPAC like Moskowitz — why is @cnn.com centering them in their chyron? Cutting off💰for a bad war isn’t abandoning the troops, it’s supporting them. Stop using missile makers’ lines Dems overwhelmingly oppose this

A friendly reminder that if you buy or currently own a Tesla, you’re a racist nazi supporter who supports a racist pedophile in the WH. CHOOSE TO DIVEST. There are plenty of other EV options which aren’t Nazi-mobiles. And don’t patronize Tesla chargers.

Putin: The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed.

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

Remember in 2019 when GOP Rep. Steve King defended white supremacy? GOP leadership stripped him of his committee assignments. Now Republicans don't even bother to pretend. Rep. Andy Ogles tweeted today that “Muslims don't belong in American society,” and we all know GOP leadership will do nothing.

America’s top doctor shouldn’t be someone who peddles junk science to get rich off a grift. Casey Means can’t even practice medicine.   I will vote NO on her confirmation.

* Iran Warns of $200 a Barrel Oil if Strikes on Its Infrastructure Don’t Stop @wsj.com www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party

My god…

7 American soldiers are dead because Trump is an Epstein pedophile.

They don’t worry about war, gas prices, electric bills, and food prices on Fox & Friends, where they are serving up a healthy slice of nonsense and drivel for their audience.

11 months ago Trump collapsed the stock market with his tariffs. In his prior year in office, he collapsed the market with his Covid incompetence. Now for the 3rd year in a row, the Orange Imbecile will collapse it again. Seems he’s trying to match his number of bankruptcies of other people’s money.

Hey @nytpitchbot.bsky.social “Why this is bad for Biden.”
