A few minutes ago in the House: - Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week - House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about the narrative arc of Taylor Swift’s new album and I really think RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Pam Bondi has one client. And it’s definitely not us.

Tylenol, feel free to reach out for other marketing tips.

It’s all just so damned predictable.

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

So they’re going to authorize the use of Leucovorin in children AND THEN do “confirmatory trials” and safety studies. God help us.

First true thing he’s said in ages.

Reminder: While autism diagnoses have indeed exploded over the years as we’ve dramatically expanded the parameters for diagnosis and educated professionals on what to look for, rates of Tylenol consumption during pregnancy hasn’t changed. Science doesn’t lie; people do.

Is anyone following the money on leucovorin? Who benefits by promoting this drug as a “cure”? I’m mortified (but not surprised) that we are back to blaming mothers for “harming their children” while pregnant.

"This needs to be repeated so I’m repeating it. Students with disabilities MUST be included in school safety drills. Fire drills. Active shooter drills. Lockdowns. Evacuations. Any of them. All of them." From @jessdiaryofamom.bsky.social: www.facebook.com/adiaryofamom...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Autistic people exist because their pregnant parent took the only drug allowed for pain during pregnancy ==> Refrigerator Mothers, the Redux. That shit wasn’t true either. Remove RFK jr.

Holy shit wait for it

Folks, JD Vance knows Alex Padilla’s name. He called him Jose for the same reason he pretended not to be able to pronounce Kamala.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

Is anyone else old enough to remember when Luke had to save Port Charles (and the world) from Victor and Mikkos Cassadine who, it turned out, controlled the weather and were going to freeze the whole world on General Hospital? A) That was fictional. B) Can someone see if Luke is busy?

It’s never been about protecting Jews.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Wizards aren’t real, but trans women are and they are women, today and every day. Happy International Women’s Day to everyone other than she who will not be named.

Have y’all noticed that conservatives have stopped invoking Reagan? As much as they idolized him for years, they know the guy who so famously demanded, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” would have been APPALLED by the fealty to Putin.

“Have the day you voted for” would be a great dig if we didn’t ALL have to have the day they voted for.

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

Just got off the phone with Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), who said Elon Musk's DOGE team is "actively dismantling" federal Department of Education programs today. "They are in the building, on the 6th floor, canceling grants and contracts."

I wonder how many times her parents said, “We’re not surprised, Susan. Just disappointed.”

One thing that I absolutely love about getting older and more secure in who I am is that I no longer feel the need to pretend to care about the Super Bowl.

Written in 1931. How far we have not come.

I’m sorry, what?

HOW IS THIS MAN BEING SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED FOR THIS JOB????

It would appear that the “states’ rights” crowd is just as a genuinely concerned about states’ rights as the “pro life” people are actually pro life.

This is how you do it.

Okay, so forgetting everything else for a second, how is this not automatically disqualifying?

Maybe because it’s wildly unconstitutional? Just a thought.

Pretty sure I was in sixth grade when I learned that the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH, not the EXECUTIVE, has the POWER OF THE PURSE. Someone might want to tell the White House they don’t get to just shut down appropriated funds just for the hell of it.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Canon Jesus > Fandom Jesus.

Feels almost quaint now.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

One should always have a comfortable place to sit in one’s existential dread, don’t you think?

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t even last a whole Scaramucci.

No notes, @oliviajulianna.bsky.social

Pace yourself, my friends. It’s not a sprint; it’s a marathon. We can’t spend 1460 days in fight or flight mode

Autism doesn’t make you racist, folks. That’s not how this works. That’s not how ANY of this works. Please don’t drag our autistic loved ones into that flaming mess. Just … no.

In how many ways do we need them to tell us who they are?
