Me realizing I have a spider bite on my face. RUDE, SPIDER!

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

Frodo don’t destroy the ring, you’ll just be playing into their hands by reacting at all imho

Hassan YES. That’s it. Cloture passed by democrats to allow the CR to be enacted. Vote ongoing but the 8 Dems defected to get it across the line and it will get 60.

The grimmest realization is not the very old one that Trump is a hyper-sensitive narcissist who thinks criticizing him should be illegal. The grimmest realization is that a substantial number of Americans are born serfs, best suited for a monarchy, who thinks that’s manly and admirable and right.

Trump called to imprison his opponents in a speech at the DOJ today, labeling his courtroom opponents “scum,” judges “corrupt” and the prosecutors who investigated him “deranged."

Menacing the free press during a speech at the Department of Justice at which the AG proclaims her fealty. Open authoritarianism.

My 80-year old and 78-year old mother and father rely on social security. This guy wants them to go get jobs? This isn’t leadership. It isn’t America first. They’re trying to screw veterans AND the elderly. It’s all a con.

It must be incredible to be a rich white man.

Trump and Musk are dropping nuclear bombs on the administrative state, and the Democrats show up with water balloons — and are too afraid to throw even those.

Schumer just said “fuck you” to federal workers, whose unions want a not cloture vote. And every House Dem except one.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

with Trump telling everyone - today! - that he's going to ignore the CR and impound whatever he wants, this is absolutely monumental malpractice and a complete failure of leadership Schumer's gotta go

Schumer's logic here also dictates getting rolled on the debt ceiling and on next year's budget. I think he's got to go

The richest man in the world gave a 22 year old without a security clearance everyone in America’s social security and tax information and Senate Democrats did absolutely fuck all in response. Incredible work everyone.

"The first rule of negotiating with terrorists is to give them what they ask for. Because if you do, they will stop there and start respecting the rule of law." I fucking can't. Schumer needs to give up his seat.

I'd like to see a news organization get every Senate Democrat on record as to whether they believe Chuck Schumer should remain the minority leader. Let's find out who's actually a collaborator and who isn't.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Just so you know Democrats are voting to defund the public schools attended by the kids of their own overworked and underpaid staff

Started ER and I like it but do I like it enough for that many seasons

Pills: Can We Get Some? We’re Really Hurting Right Now

we crashed the economy for your own good

If the stock market went down even 300 points under a Dem president, it would be all you heard about on the news and there would absolutely be an impeachment inquiry.

Others: I had an intrusive thought about eating a muffin off the ground Me: I had an intrusive thought about drinking gas directly from the nozzle or better yet do it to someone else. Anyway

Senator Kelly posted this and per numerous reports will also vote no on cloture

The Trump administration is expected to invoke a sweeping wartime authority to speed up the president’s mass deportation pledge in the coming days, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.

✋

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Greenland election: Democrat party wins surprise victory amid spectre of Trump

Social Security keeps millions of elderly Americans out of poverty. And Elon Musk is trying to destroy it. Right now.

More of this, please – 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ICYMI-this is a must see: Representative John Larson (D) calling out Elon Musk and not holding back… Well done! THANK YOU.

The measles outbreak in West Texas is linked with cases in New Mexico, officials said, as well as new cases reported in Oklahoma. This brings the total number of cases to 258 across three states.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

Taps the sign that asks: "What’s it called when you try to erase a class of people based on who they are?"

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid. Over a third of all children are covered by Medicaid. More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. Republicans in Congress are making a big mistake targeting these families’ health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

A federal judge has ruled DOGE is wielding so much power that its records will likely have to be opened to the public under federal law. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the "unprecedented" authority of DOGE warrant the release of documents under FOIA. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Measles cases in Texas and New Mexico now number over 250, with two deaths being linked to the outbreak. (For comparison, the US had 285 cases of measles in all of 2024). Measles isn't just a rash. For @wired.com, I wrote about why the disease can be so deadly: www.wired.com/story/this-i...

Happy birthday to my sweetest girl

There is a wasp that’s been in my office for weeks and I’ve tried to catch it rather than killing it but it’s on my last nerve.

Can someone build a trebuchet big enough to yeet Lindsey Graham into orbit?

Democrats need to run on jailing republican politicians fast.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

🚨 BREAKING: Thirteen prime ministers and two presidents are attending today’s emergency Ukraine summit in London. America is no where to be found. American First is America Alone.

Trump’s planned Oval Office ambush of Zelensky continues to backfire, as thousands rallied in support of Ukraine in Times Square on Saturday. Zelensky was welcomed to the UK with open arms on Saturday. British PM Keir Starmer greeted Zelensky with a big hug and a massive defense loan worth billions.

Spending funds Congress has not appropriated literally violates the Constitution and to do so knowingly and willfully is a crime punishable by two years in prison. See 31 USC 1341(a) and 1350. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?p...
