America should just join canada. We could be the US of Eh.

Thune doesn't have the spine, obviously, but this is censure-worthy and should prompt resignation calls.

shoutout to every idiot who believed that trump would "end the wars"

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

The effects of Covid in pregnancy are devastating and preventable by vaccination; now we have strong data from Penn Medicine that vaccines protect children and adolescents from long Covid

Abolish ICE

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

160 years ago today, the traitor Jefferson Davis and his treasonous cabinet abandoned Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, spelling the beginning of the end of the Civil War. A day for all patriots to celebrate.

You know, I'm just a lowly tech comms flack, but there seems to be one faction of Dems being screamed at/in hiding, and one faction pulling crowds like this. Maybe the latter should be in charge?

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

watching how quickly all this is happening and thinking back to the senate saying they can't act without permission from the parliamentarian

Schumer saying on Chris Hayes that the GOP could just eliminate employees and entire government programs unless Dems pass their bill lol. What do you think they’re doing already, Chuck?

Schumer tells Chris Hayes that Trump, Musk, and Vought "want" a shutdown, but also says Republicans do whatever Trump wants. Why did every House Republican except one vote for the CR if Trump didn't want it to pass? You think you're owning Trump by voting for his party's bill?!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Interesting that Musk shows more respect, in terms of his dressing, when he is with the Chinese government than with the American government, but MAGA doesn’t care.

Fantastic idea.

elon pulls down on atlas shrugged: the bookcase slides open revealing a vault door with a keypad. he enters 4-20-69: the door unlocks and silently swings open. he steps inside and views rows upon rows of numbered test tubes, each filled with a milky fluid. “soon, my children,” he murmurs. “soon."

I think everybody should be reading history. Especially right now. And Robert Caro's LBJ books is a damn fine place to start!

One thing I don’t think is super well known is that the original Andrew Wakefield paper in 1998 that basically started the modern anti-vax movement and has since been super-duper-retracted because it’s fraudulent and full of shit was a descriptive “study” of a grand total of just *12* children.

I love what you do for me... TOYOTA!

Keep you cats inside, Ohio. The Nazis are going to be out trying to make a point.
