Really glad @cwarzel.bsky.social wrote this piece because reading through the birthday book was among the most sickening things I've had to do in awhile. Make sure you see for yourself. The @oversightdemocrats.house.gov have posted them here: oversight.house.gov/release/over...

I trust science and know people have actually been there, etc., but gotta say I genuinely have a hard time believing that outer space is real

Boiling water. We’ve been doing it for millennia. Amazing how it manages to stay relevant.
