Evoking Vietnam, a failed war that he ignominiously dodged, shows how stupid Donald is. Smarter people would have avoided the subject.

"AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to H.I.V. Assistance" "A once-robust H.I.V. treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble."

oh wow have lawmakers on Capitol Hill heard of this thing called a book

every time this admin publicly considers using the DPA to buy out a private company it should send chills down the spine of anyone considering investing in the space x IPO

FIRST ON NBC: New video shows Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky getting arrested while driving a Lyft. The Florida surgeon is accused of removing a patient's liver instead of his spleen, causing him to die. w/ Elizabeth Chuck www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Weijia Jiang of CBS News, who is president of the White House Correspondents' Association, attended a private dinner yesterday thrown by her boss "honoring" Trump.

The DOJ allegedly drops the criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, just in time for Trump’s hand-picked Kevin Warsh to try to get across the finish line. I've got the latest details, including why Powell should stay and fight back against Trump. youtu.be/JMnCZoEl8Rg?...

Justice Dept. drops investigation into Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

ICYMI — @repmcgovern.bsky.social : “Trump is in an imaginary world. He needs an intervention… SNAP provides ~$2 per meal, we’re told more cuts are coming. We have 46 million hungry, they don’t seem to give a shit. We ought to be able to end hunger. They spent $60 billion on the war in Iran.”

The main thing in art and entertainment to keep your finger on the pulse of the fans and what they want, their feedback is so important.

A good overview of what Dems were able to accomplish w/r/t forcing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's abduction onto the national agenda, beating back ICE in places like Minneapolis, and driving Trump's approval on his "best" issue into the toilet. Recall that some pundits advised Dems *not* to do any of this.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

LIVE outside the US Institute of Peace — tune in as me & others call out Trump & Ellison’s corruption dinner happening inside -TN www.youtube.com/live/gbaodE_...

it's not immediately visible in the US unless you are in DC, where practically everybody is—at maximum—one degree of separation away from someone who got DOGEd

This reminds me of one of my favorite Abraham Lincoln quotes: How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg.

Ted Cruz is the #1 lifetime recipient of fossil fuel money in the entire U.S. senate, receiving over $1 million from the oil and gas industry in the 2024 cycle alone Now he's proposed a bill to give the fossil fuel industry lifetime legal immunity from climate lawsuits

Look who's defunding the police www.reuters.com/world/trumps...

WHOA. In less than 12 hours, tens of thousands of Americans have helped launch GTFOice.org. People don’t want warehouse prison camps in their communities. Amazing to see the outpouring of defiance.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

It’s time to pay up, Donald — $1,700 per family.

NEW YORK (AP) — Warner Bros shareholders approve $81 billion sale to Paramount in a mega merger that could vastly reshape Hollywood.

The "death" of English departments and other liberal arts fields is not about their obsolescence but about the fact that they're being actively *killed* by institutions that don't value them on principle, not because of any evidence. Glad ppl are catching up. www.nybooks.com/online/2023/...

One of the best comebacks you will ever see. It wasn't easy teaching him to walk again but little Stormzy has done us so proud!

Huge plumes of smoke blanket swaths of the Southeast as crews battle rapidly growing wildfires that have destroyed more than 50 homes in Georgia and forced hundreds to flee the drought- and wind-fueled flames.

the good news is that Trump's presidency has become a political shambles as well as a governing catastrophe the bad news, as a leading historian of the Nazis tells us, is that he's following the time-tested authoritarian playbook my @zeteo_news column zeteo.com/p/trump-auth...

Nothing he can say to them will be as degrading and disgraceful as their own decision to be there in the first place.

Big thanks to the Central OC Dem Club for inviting me to speak at their candidate forum tonight, and to the Laguna Woods Dem Club for inviting me last night! Things are starting to pick up as we approach the primary (and if you didn’t know I was running for office, uh, I am)

You love to see it

That debate for California Governor showed one thing clearly: those 2 Republicans are as bad as we imagined. We must get behind our top polling Democratic candidate so those 2 Republicans do not advance this jungle primary. Polls will shift after this debate. Let’s stay informed and get this done.

How much Americans have shelled out to Elon Musk through government contracts: $38 billion. How much Elon Musk made last year: $200+ billion How much Tesla paid in federal taxes last year: $0. Oligarchy is real. The system is rigged.

But @brianstelter.bsky.social believes participating in this is “useful”

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Here, I made this for my newsletter a few months back. Feel free to share with any Cabinet members you know.

This is a very good resource. I don't know how @taniel.bsky.social does this but he makes highly technical stuff like this very easy to follow and use:

Isn’t that the truth.

Even the rightwing Washington Examiner

Why can’t we rely on Canada, did our government do something that alienated them

You have got to be fcking kidding me

That’s our money. Money that we paid into the treasury.

My G-d The Navy goes from an incompetent in John Phelan who was appointed because he was a Trump donor To Hung Cao-the apparent king of stolen valor who believes parts of America are being overrun by..witches and wiccans Heaven help our sailors fighting Iran-on active duty in the Strait of Hormuz

Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...

Totally off-topic, but did y'all the know the Free State of Florida's citrus industry is basically dead?? This is quite a story: slate.com/business/202...

Holy crap. When you’ve hit the “I used to be something” state, you’re really low.

Devin Nunes was not an obvious choice to run a fledgling social media network, but after $1.1 billion in losses, the former dairy farmer and congressman is out as the head of Truth Social. 🫠
