Man, if I were the Senate Minority leader this is all I'd be talking about. You're paying higher prices for everything so Trump and his cronies can play a rigged game for billions.

Georgia’s abortion ban has a woman facing felony murder charges after taking abortion pills. Reproductive freedom is a human right. Women deserve care—not criminalization. I’ve introduced legislation condemning these prosecutions.

The operators and regulators at Fukushima were wholly unprepared for what unfolded on that fateful day in 2011. Likewise, no one can guarantee that nuclear plants or radioactive storage tanks are safe in war zones, or that the rivers and lakes needed to cool reactors globally won’t one day run dry.

Republicans are threating us with a competent administration.

I'm old enough to remember living in a time when the adults were in charge. Now we we're living in the Age of Ignorance & Dumbfuckery...

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

"In a February 24 advertorial published in the Washington Times, HealthEquity CEO Scott Cutler spun the fact that HSAs cause Americans to skip medical care as a positive feature that reduced costs. "

In a meeting with Department of Energy officials, a DOGE staffer shot down the long-held notion that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is an independent body. “Assume the NRC is going to do whatever we tell the NRC to do,” he said, records show. 👉 Full story: https://propub.li/4t51eLu

Double-speak on steroids

TSA is against this. The TSA union says it will make their jobs harder, not easier. The American public is against this. And Dems have offered seven times to pay TSA and Republicans have refused to come to the table. This is about fear tactics, not long lines. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/u...

What kind of person mortgages their soul like this?

Google is experimenting with rolling out automated lying to news headlines. It can only be an intentional experiment in manipulating the online information ecosystem to further their interests, because they’re not foolish enough to not understand the many downsides www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

Pregnant women who have been swept up in President Trump’s immigration crackdown have been held in detention centers as late as eight months into their pregnancies without adequate food or medical care, a New York Times examination found. nyti.ms/40QJ7wD

Maria Avdeeva @mariainkharkiv.bsky.social A typical school day in Kyiv now includes hours underground. Russia launches drone strikes during daylight. Hundreds of thousands of children are trying to study through this every single day. They deserve to be seen.

This is utterly jaw-dropping. A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...

It's so funny. "The USPS losses money" So does the federal highway commission. But we all understand that if we didn't invest money in this you couldn't drive anywhere. But for some reason we've let shithead delivery companies convince you otherwise.

"What constitutes an antifa terror cell? Apparently, a group of people who did not all know each other before being scooped up and charged as one." newrepublic.com/article/2078...

“So DOGE did a smash and grab at the Social Security Administration, breaking into the most sensitive data, firing phone and in-person case workers,” Lee wrote. “Trump appointee waved around an IG report claiming wait times were fine—after burying the real report saying they were up to two hours.”
