A package hasn't "shipped" if you've only "created the label"

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.' people.com/donald-trump...

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit. Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day to all Today, I drink from the sacred vessel (I stole my husband’s joke there 😅) I celebrate this anniversary with reverence every year One of my favorite events in all of American history @4seasonstl.bsky.social

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

White House? GOP Senate? GOP House? GOP USSC? Conservative majority Which part, exactly, of government are Republicans not currently in charge of????

NOT-SO-FUN FACT: A month before Thanksgiving, wholesale turkey prices are about 40% HIGHER than last year. 🦃

SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

To all the disingenuous or ignorant people posting that "No Kings" is ridiculous because Trump never claimed to be a king, here is an official tweet from the White House earlier this year:

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

#NoKings 1 Samuel 8

Officials from the Wayne County Airport Authority in Detroit have asked #TSA officials to stop playing a video that blames Congressional Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown. The video in question features Homeland Security Secretary #KristiNoem.

Are you ready for the largest peaceful protest in modern US history? In five days, millions of Americans will stand up and speak out on a massive scale to reject Trump’s authoritarianism and show the world what democracy looks like. We’ll see you on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

that last line

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

The most powerful people/companies IN THE WORLD crumble and cave after a mere sneeze from the White House in their direction.

Today, masked agents (I assume to be BP or ICE agents from the badge) threw tear gas canisters toward civilians because they were blocked in traffic and were heckeled at

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) on this moment. Not just the transcript but the video of a floor speech yesterday. A rallying cry:

It's easy to give into panic and there IS a ton of things to be afraid of right now and in the future But what I am holding onto is that the truth of the matter is that the current regime is incredibly unpopular and relying on projecting the image of overwhelming power because they don't have it

Chris Van Hollen. The Senator with tenacity and determination who had the guts to go down to CECOT and see Kilmar Abregu.

My god the pressure on autumn’s shoulders this year 🤯

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.

The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

legit laughing my ass off

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

“A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away. The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would have required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom.” apple.news/A2R2-fCFxQHO...

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter, Bernice, weighs in on Trump's release of the MLK Jr. files

Trump wants to strip citizenship away from a U.S. citizen who opposes him politically. His April 28th executive order let's his AG target political opponents. His counterterrorism czar said political opponents should be considered domestic terrorists. You see where this is going, right?

Former NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad: "I am convinced that the staff cuts that we saw were a contributing factor to the inability of the emergency managers to respond."

Rep. Joaquin Castro on Texas floods: "I don't think it's helpful to have missing key personnel from the National Weather Service not in place to help prevent these tragedies."

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Of course newrepublic.com/post/197149/...

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Experts are calling for an independent vaccine panel. Since RFK Jr fired CDC’s esteemed advisory panel, medical experts—pediatrcians, pharmacists & others—have called for an alternative. The Univ of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy is forming the Vaccine Integrity Project.

100 days. 💔

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.
