DC Statehood needs to be a Day 1 priority, the one place the Guard aren't being withdrawn is where there is no federalism to protect citizens from presidential overreach. This can never happen again.

Pluribus (2025)

love to see Sandy Pony Donuts capitalizing on Pluribus

Lots of small dollar contributions can be really important for larger funders (and the party) to see. Please support our Courage Candidate @harrymd5.bsky.social with whatever amount works for your budget. And read his whole thread!

EXCLUSIVE: @laurenweberhp.bsky.social & I have spent the last year collecting school+county-level vaccination data from across the US and found that only about 28% of counties now have herd immunity for kindergartners from measles—that leaves about 5.2mn kids unprotected.

Upsetting to see this post on instagram and see all the "need to try it!" comments Why???? Why would you ever need to do that?

I think that is called alcoholism

LinkedIn is such a normal place

"Hepatitis B offers a case study in differences between the systems. Denmark vaccinates only high-risk infants for the disease. That works because Denmark has near-universal prenatal screening and reliable follow-up. The U.S. does not."

it is extremely funny that RFK both does not believe in the germ theory of disease and is a lab leak truther

INBOX: @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, an investigative reporter at @miamiherald.com who has covered Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking story for nearly a decade, accuses the Trump Department of Justice for tracking her flight history in 2019 and releasing them partially unredacted in the Epstein files

lmao please don't correct this

Maybe I'm a narc but I personally think I should be allowed to flag every video I see on tiktok where someone is recording while driving to their insurance company

Wait. Does she think companies are passing on her because they want someone they have to do a visa sponsorship for?

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND NOT HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE INCLUDING OF COURSE THE RADICAL RIGHT REPUBLICANS FASCIST NAZIS WHO LIE, SCREAM, AND BREAK EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH. YOU’VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB RUINING OUR GREAT COUNTRY AND THEN BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE.

Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

In 10-20 years we will regret listening to oil propaganda talking points about solar panels when the coasts are underwater and the ice caps are melted

Do we think Bari Weiss paid for drugs with her public Venmo account

Bari Weiss’s friends list is not public, but her older transactions are, and of course she paid some guy from Reason for “writing”

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Erica Kirk’s ex boyfriend is on Venmo and yes, I’m going to go through his friends list because what else is there to do standing in the TSA line

responding to “what do you think of Adolph Hitler?” with “I’m in favor of a strong executive” is advanced conservatism. these kids have perfected the craft.

it's irritating because it's bullshit, not because of some need to define it more precisely

as someone in DC watching my city fork over tax money for a new Commanders stadium: Illinois should just let the Bears move to Indiana.

I just saw someone say the vanity fair article is a distraction from the Epstein files but what if... the administration is just doing stupid and incompetent things because they are stupid and incompetent. Also a thing is only a distraction from another thing if you can't keep track of 2 things!

The Vanity Fair photos are more evidence for my so-far undefeated theory that conservatives do not believe in sunscreen.

if only all the people saying "no one wants to watch this" had warned them that no one would watch this

Me:

Last week, 47 Democrats voted “present” on an impeachment resolution, including my 86-year-old Congressman, Steny Hoyer. This was the least courageous option possible – a way of showing up physically while opting out morally. This crisis won't end until Dems understand accountability isn't optional.

Me seeing light rail:

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

she didn't do enough time in prison

Honestly this is pretty telling for Steny Hoyer. He sees no problem with the 2000 election being decided by the Supreme Court, essentially says "ah well!", and thinks it's "democracy at its finest." And has just kept this mindset for the 25 years. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

when are we getting Dawn Staley on Abbott Elementary

someone tell the California ACLU who is disproportionately more likely to be killed in traffic accidents including those involving people under the influence

Here is the simple ask, Rep. Hoyer: If you’re running again, tell us now, so voters can evaluate that decision honestly. If you’re retiring, tell us now, so this district can have the open primary we deserve. Read my latest op-ed in @baltimoresun.bsky.social. www.baltimoresun.com/2025/12/12/s...

These people fundamentally misunderstand what the actual obstacle to "working class solidarity" is. The bigotry is the obstacle, not people pointing out that it exists and that it's bad. I don't think you can be in solidarity with someone you clearly have a visceral racist hatred for!

Steny Hoyer is no longer in leadership, he is in a safe D seat, and he is likely retiring after this term. What on earth would he have to lose by voting for impeachment instead of voting present?

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

This article was just lying to you. California builds 25,000 ADUs per year because of state preemption. There are tens of thousands of homes built with state ministerial streamlining. There are now *hundreds of thousands* of homes that would not otherwise exist because of state preemption.

Instant all-timer here:

The people who keep saying socialism will mean empty shelves and bread lines

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ. For all this he received death-threats throughout his life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Th....
