I knew back in November that this team was liable to win it all. They looked *that* good. #GOBLUE 🟦🟨🟦🟨🟦 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

It appears that even this corrupt Supreme Court won’t go for the utter ludicrousness of banning birthright citizenship, which is plainly enumerated in the Constitution. Which, of course, leaves us with the question of why they took the case in the first place… www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

The large majority of “Chronic Lyme Disease” is a psychosomatic condition egged on by quacks.

The AMA is a trade organization. Its true mission is to protect the financial interests of physicians.

No Kings Philadelphia

This seems like a superb idea.

I think we're going win, but I want to win hard enough that we start paying artists to paint murals in post offices again. (This time the post offices are also banks.)

If more income inequality, more fantasies about beating the rich. Why don’t the rich understand this?

We should try capping political donations in PA. Tell Mike Bloomberg & Yass & Bezos & Musk—from now on, the max donation to a candidate for governor is $1,000 or whatever. Letting Bloomberg give $2.5M to our governor is bananas, no matter who the governor is. share.inquirer.com/1LtrB5

The Republicans are heading for a historic drubbing in the midterms, and no, Trump’s threatened proto-fascist bullshit won’t be even close to enough to stop it. And despite the fact that this is entirely predictable, the whole narrative around Trump and the GOP will change dramatically.

Exactly nobody is gonna have the slightest sympathy for the evil and regressive Iranian government. But you don’t just take out the fucking leader and expect things to get better. What exactly does Apprentice President think is gonna happen now?!Underwear gnomes form a new government?

Oh, sure, we could fund health care, dental & vision for us all with that amount, who’s asking? Call me, I have thoughts about how to keep America safe! (from misery) wapo.st/40sgBRz

What is wrong with these fucking people, Exhibit #347.

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

Hard agree

Also, in lieu of performing his lauded opera "Einstein On The Beach", the Kennedy Center has announced that they will be performing "Kid Rock At Hooters".

How bad is it for the administration? Even John Fetterman is calling for Buchenwald Barbie to be fired, that's how bad. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Welcome to the resistance, Jerome Powell.

I want to make another point: We in healthcare understand that prevention is nowhere near as sexy as treatment, but it saves a whole lot more lives. Krasner is directly preventing deaths by doing this. Other DAs who follow suit would also be saving lives.

Every DA in every big city in America should be saying this right now, and be fully prepared to back it up. share.inquirer.com/bPy1NT

It's kinda funny how every third political post on has some variation of "oh so you think there's going to be elections how cute" in the replies while the daily news is of Republicans getting boatraced in elections, manufacturing the reality you desire to be outraged about isn't just a rw phenomenon

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

"You have to use AI." ...why?

Seriously cannot understand all the hullabaloo over this. It doesn’t much matter whether light drinking is *beneficial*. The real point is that the evidence of *harm* from light drinking is so modest as to be fairly trivial. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/h...

The thing about this is that’s it’s applicable to so much more than creativity. There’s a whole techno-utopian mindset that’s just grossly out to lunch about so many things: science, healthcare, politics, education, law. Don’t buy anything these people say about anything. They have no notion.

It’s hard to know what the longer-term future holds, but in 2026 the GOP is fucked. Wonder if we’ll see a slew of Republican retirements in Congress soon.

The aggressive gerrymandering stuff that the GOP is doing is undemocratic, unconscionable, and should be illegal. But it won’t even be close to enough to save their House majority.

Yes-and-half to all of this. I don’t understand why they haven’t started already. Make SCOTUS the issue and refuse to shut up about it.

"Ventricular fibrillation flare-up"?!?

Accurate.

More good evidence that John Fetterman does not plan to run for another Senate term. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy.

If Subway were smart, they’d start a whole ad campaign touting the aerodynamic properties of various footlong subs. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Pretty amazing how quickly the narrative can turn after… <checks notes>… entirely predictable results. Now imagine what the stories will look like a year from today.

I literally just finished re-reading The Great Gatsby this evening.

ALL of this. If Republicans actually abolished the filibuster to pass a clear CR, that would be the best thing that could possibly happen for our entire system of government. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

Just went to Costco today to flip mine from LFL to LFP. #ChingaTuMAGA

American football is a bloodsport that ruins players’ brains and I cannot support it.

Now we know at least one Dem who plans to challenge Fetterman. I wonder if Fetterman thinks his positions are politically savvy, or if he really believes this stuff. Either way, he clearly learned nothing from Kyrsten Sinema, and he's serving his sole Senate term. share.inquirer.com/mIJDGE

It is very unwelcome to say this about America’s most popular sport, especially here, in America’s best sports town, home of the defending champion Eagles. But: tackle football is a bloodsport that ruins players’ brains and likely cannot be made safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

BTW: this is why his approval rating matters. The lower it is, the more vulnerable this administration is to resistance.

Apparently the backlash against Disney has been both internal and external, involving streaming subscriptions and theme park bookings, and is quite fierce. screenrant.com/disney-scram...

This and this and more this.

Considering how much the right wing cares about gun violence and its victims, I expect Charlie Kirk will be forgotten in a week.
