Undertaker to staff: Tie the deceased's shoelaces together before burial. That way, if there IS a zombie apocalypse, it'll be as funny as fuck.

11. Who will suffer most from cuts to Medicaid? Republican voters in GOP-controlled states. Who will suffer most from Obamacare spikes? Ditto. In both programs, there are more Republican voters than anyone else combined. So the Republicans must pretend to care. But mostly, they lie.

10. Though the Trump cartel is working hard to change it, America is still a democracy. The GOP still needs its base until it has completed its consolidation of power. For now, it can’t afford to alienate its supporters with the truth – that *the Republicans are scamming them*.

7. What they do care about is stealing from Medicaid – $1T over a decade – to cut the taxes of very obscenely rich people who will never notice that their taxes have been cut. Oh, and they care about seeing their social inferiors suffer. That’s a lot of fun. www.editorialboard.com/if-youre-on-...

Trump administration moves to defund inspector general watchdog group www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just the most open, naked corruption imaginable. Florida taking a public asset and handing it over to Trump for free to profit. Floridians should be fucking *outraged* at this shit.

I’m working on getting a Google Doc up with a list of Sinclair and Nexstar local affiliate stations that we can populate as we go with information about (especially local) advertisers on those stations. If you’ve dug up any of these advertisers, please share under #SinclairAdvertisers (example tf)

"According to Ukraine's official Children of War database, 19,546 Ukrainian children have been confirmed to be deported or forcibly displaced to Russia, Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, or Belarus since February 2022. Only 1,605 have been brought back home." #Ukraine

Susan Collins hasn’t held a town hall since Bill Clinton was president. I’m holding 21 town halls across the state in the next month.

There are 500 American billionaires that are too poor to make it onto the Forbes top 100 rich list.

Please consider this, as migrating birds are making their long and perilous journeys to their winter homes. ❤️ #birds 🪶

Maybe lower court judges should think about refusing to treat as binding precedent SCOTUS decisions whose analysis stands on demonstrably false facts. E.g., Citizens United whose factual premise that its unlimited political money would be transparent is demonstrably false.

The administration is attacking workers @EPA whose public letter stood up for our clean water and air. Suspending jobs that save lives is not what Americans want. It takes courage to demand accountability + protect crucial public services. Read: www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/c... #supportfederalworkers

Trump is trying to start more wars so he can end them and get the Nobel Peace Prize.

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️

Psaki: "Viruses don't care about state lines, and particularly when comes to the protection offered by vaccinations, we are only as strong as our weakest link."

SmoL hoomaNz here. Is any UK cat butLer insUred with Animal Friends? I'm currently with John Lewis but they want to increase my monthly direct debit to £50. Who are you insured with and are you happy enough with the service? I'd prefer a premium/ gold standard cover

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)

Some of the drones over Kyiv are reconnaissance “Gerbers” with cameras, likely identifying air defense positions, meaning reconnaissance is underway to prepare new massive strikes, according to air threat monitoring channels 😡😡😡

Another shooting. This time in a Catholic school in Minneapolis. It shouldn’t be normal to see 5th graders give TV interviews describing seeing their friends shot. None of this is normal. This is not inevitable. This is a policy choice. Enough.

My son came home from his second day of school this year to see news coverage of the Minnesota school shooting. His reply was so simple and so out of reach. "They should just make a law that people can't have guns, why can't they just do that?" - Jack, age 11 We have failed our children so deeply.

The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years. Not anymore.

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus crashed losing its entire load. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, dumbfounded, & nonplussed…

Do you want to know who’s at “high risk” with a Covid infection? It’s everyone The answer is everyone, if you have lungs & a vascular system, you are at high risk because Covid will damage it all, no matter who you are. All your organs have a vascular system Death isn’t the only outcome.

This may be why teachers retire early or turn to drinking: The following questions were in a (UK) GED (grade 12 equivalent) examination (they are genuine answers):

I love this! We must make sure we save the bees because if the bees die we're going with them.

1. The president is cheating. His tariffs are pushing up the price of everything, which means inflation remains high, which means interest rates remain high. But instead of rethinking a ruinous national sales tax, which is what tariffs are, he’s bullying those who set interest rates.

@smillapanfur.bsky.social followed you because I saw you had tge Selkirk Grace pinned on that other site. My staff's grandfather taught it to her and it has a special place in her heart.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating: *foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others) Do you feel safer?

They assassinated the journalists.

If he's somehow allowed to run again, there's only one suitable candidate to run against him: BARACK OBAMA. #PoeticJustice ⚖️

This is why the Bove seat was vacant, and there’s a real throughline from the forces that defeated the previous Democratic nominee to where we are today. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

NEW: We now know what Bove lied to Congress about according to the 3rd whistleblower. He lied when he said he didn’t offer promotions for DoJ lawyers who helped him dismiss the Eric Adams case and consequences for those who didn’t. There is audio evidence. Gift link: wapo.st/4fdVVmX

Why not put solar farms in places already disturbed that aren’t being used otherwise—especially defunct open-pit mines w/ their roads & grid connections? New global study finds 61.8K mines that together cover 47.9K km2, enough for 4,764 TWh/yr of solar. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/07/from...
