How do you even measure the Washington Post cringe factor at being embarrassed like this in coverage of your own city... Same event: Left side - New York Times headline Right side - Washington Post white house press release I mean headline

“There’s an irony in Northwestern’s President being pushed out to *fight antisemitism on campus* — he’s a Jewish descendent of Holocaust survivors.”😳 Trump using antisemitism as a cover to crack down on colleges and impose right wing ideology only fuels antisemitism.

Trump announces new Dept of Education guidelines for protecting prayer in public schools. A reminder:

What is it about migration that brings out the worst in people? Really worth reading this terrible column in @economist.com about the ten years since Merkel opened German borders to refugees. Come for the racist cartoon, stay for the factual errors and race- and class-baiting. Also worth...

Informative thread on the US kicking our close ally, South Korea, gratuitously in the nuts. And risking the single largest FDI in Georgia. 👇

Warner on Laura Loomer: "Is she actually the acting Secretary of Defense, or Secretary of War as of this morning, or is she the real Director of National Intelligence?"

Fuckin' A. Every word

As your Governor, I won’t stop fighting to defend your reproductive freedom.

Florida’s move on vaccine mandates will lead to avoidable illnesses and deaths.

Exactly! Especially addressing working people's constant worries: "what will I do if I am sick?"; "how can I afford to retire (with dignity)?"; and "how will I put my kids (or myself/my partner) through school?"; now w bonus "how can I afford to live here?" These are not insoluble.

RFK Jr. said, “If vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away.” Then, he did. RFK Jr. is a liar.

A mob of angry drunken men screaming abuse outside an asylum hotel have defended their actions, saying all they want is for women and girls to feel safe walking the streets. From the new Private Eye, out now.

Dumbassistan chronicles. These guys are really going for it. "Flood the zone" = trying to distract from inanity X with insanity Y

Wyden on RFK Jr: "This committee's unwillingness to swear in this witness is basically a message that it is acceptable to lie to the Senate Finance Committee about hugely important questions like vaccines."

Turns out, murderous dictators don’t trust murderous dictators. Go figure. 🤷🏽‍♂️

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Florida road crews in St. Pete were out at 3 a.m. just to do this

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Iako se na prvi pogled čini da alternativna medicina i evangelistički i konzervativni pokreti (te new age pokreti također) pripadaju potpuno različitim sferama – jedni zdravlju, a drugi vjeri (i politici) – njihovo približavanje nije slučajno. naukagovori.ba/kad-religija...

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

A pre-dog-walk 🧵 on the pandemic. To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.

Yes. Trump and his brand of voodoo economics and geopolitics did this to us, specifically.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

What are we even doing?

Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.

A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This guy is so good.

You and me both.

The wellness industry has long been known to have a not-so-secret love affair with the anti-vaccine movement. thewalrus.ca/wellness-ind...

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

Every authoritarian regime that embraced this aesthetic inflicted violence and chaos on its society

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains
