There’s about 264,000 people uninsured in Kentucky. It’s crazy that Mitch McConnell's dead body is receiving better healthcare than the people in his state. 🤷‍♂️🔄

In today's episode of "It's Fine When We Do It" the GOP will be cheering the appointment of a Senator from SC by a GOP guv who will then go on to run in the general despite not having ANY input from voters all the while calling the selection of Platner's replacement by convention "undemocratic".

The sentiment shifted among the "Shirley" voters. "We need to deport all those illegals but SURELY that doesn't mean the person I know." Guess what Shirley, it's the person you know.

But Mamdami is a communist for recommending ACs are set at 78

At some point, we can hopefully have a court that comes to the conclusion that money does not equal speech. Money is property - full stop.

This is perfect, although please call them back and say that you're also not giving because Yale is not negotiating in good faith with it's unionized workforce.

Well you see they're billionaires so they can make REALLY BIG needles with REALLY BIG eyes

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

When the histories are written of the demise of the American experiment, reality TV will be seen a huge contributing factor.

So is she back or is she out?

Sample of a typical 60 Minutes episode from next season: A Block: Stephen and Katie Miller at Home! B Block: Are Drag Queens Actually a Threat? Yes! C Block: Evangelical Children set up charity for unborn babies! Closing: AI generated Andy Rooney on why AI is great!

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

A Broken Umbrella Theatre needs your voice. The Umbrella is a new home for performance, gathering, and neighborhood arts at 280 Blake St in New Haven. We don't want money. We want community input. Responses show funders who would use the space, what barriers it removes, and what the community needs

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix. Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection. They knew how to treat her. There was one issue … 🧵

"A Deal". In Trump world this means returning to the status quo before all the bluster and claiming "victory." It's all so stupid and predictable and hurts people needlessly and cruelly.

Fewer A's and More Gentleman C's!

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

I will be voting for Josh Elliott in the primary because I am tired of voting for a Chris Shays republican for governor

'It's not so very important for a person to learn facts...He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.' - Einstein, 1921. Fuck you, AI bros.

For decades we were told by the US rightwing that we shouldn't look to other countries in how to run things (healthcare, gun safety, and consumer regulations were proposed) but the rightwing is all in in emulating Hungary under Orban. To paraphrase Clinton: "it's the authoritarianism, stupid."

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

It's almost funny that we're still having the "Only a state with secure borders can prevent ethnic persecution" conversation, after a century in which Great Powers [TM] have repeatedly, brutally, genocidally, fucked over many peoples who were quite sure they had states with secure borders.

The American 2026 version is "White Christian Nationalism is the socialism of fools."

One must always remember, when speaking of "Identity Politics", everything negatively counts as "identity" EXCEPT "white."

I can accept the Muppets being in commercials because they’re showbiz people. I cannot accept the Sesame Street Muppets being in commercials because they’re educators.

By "we" he means himself, his crime family, and their plutocratic buddies. My God, MAGA is so stupid.

Literal whitewashing of history under the guise of "age-appropriateness."

The Confederate Party is showing why the VRA was so necessary. The only thing securing basic rights for the Black population in Southern states has been a federal government willing to wield power on behalf of enforcing civil rights.

But it's electric car batteries that are the problem, right?

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Wet Reckless sounds like a rejected album name for Sammy Hagar era Van Halen

Farmers vote against workers' interest bc most of us aren't working class. Farmers are business owners. With inherited wealth & property. It's not that hard to figure out! It's not folksy, & it's not "economic anxiety." Most *small family farmers* in the US are millionaires w 6-figure incomes.

It's a real Experience being a farmer trying to shout as loud as I can about what's happening out here. While journalists ignore the obvious so they can write their tear-jerker bullshit. Farmers chose Trump, as a strategy to take advantage of their own workers & the entire US taxpayer population.

- Rudy was not welcome at many FDNY funerals - He tried to use 9/11 to cancel the election & stay in office - He's always been a bad lawyer - the mobsters he put away were the idiot bandits & yahoos who killed the old guard

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

I feel like I need to install ChapGPT just so I can uninstall it
