There is absolutely no reason for these insider trading sites to exist, and they should be legislated into oblivion.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Two things can be true: Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

2/to what it’s not investigating

1/Compare what DOJ is investigating…

The majority of Americans can't afford an unexpected $1,000 emergency expense, and in a country with notably expensive health care, this is a recipe for disaster. And of course, this has ripple effects because the Trump Admin blocked a Biden Admin effort to keep medical debt off credit reports.

“there is no evidence of acute medical conditions resulting from passive exposure to fentanyl or methamphetamine (such as from touching contaminated surfaces or inhaling second-hand smoke)”

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Have you seen the commercials advertising knee braces that are “completely free with Medicare!”? Yeah, those are dumb and help no one and Medicare should stop covering that. Totally blocking DME enrollment is going to bring more harm to injured people and is irresponsible policy.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Welp, folks, better wrap yourself in bubble wrap and never leave the house cuz the government just told injured patients to go fly a kite

I think the people expecting drunk hockey players to rebuff the POTUS are forgetting that hockey players are notorious dummies even when sober and hydrated

All of Linda’s books are great, and you should read them!!

Do not let this man’s excellent social media team fool you. He really sucks.

I spent years trying to explain and expose exactly what @markhisted.org is saying right here. The billionaire class has always been looking for ways to capture society and break institutions. Pay attention. Do not give up. Expose them. tnicholsmd.medium.com/disinformati...

I get that this is a minor point here buuuuuuuut I’m back to fucking hating Matthew Tkachuk. It was a nice 10 hours.

Oh, no way!? The man who was told 💫from birth💫 that he was a literal prince, was special, was to be waited on and revered just for breathing, was entitled??? The man with a literal royal title was entitled?? Maybe Andrew is especially a cunt but the whole system needs to go.

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform. We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

I want to hear what every single athlete has to say about the drones. The noise is driving ME nuts. I can’t imagine…

how we got here

It starts with showing up.

Couldn’t get a picture, but drove past yet another small anti-ICE protest in yet another working class neighborhood of Cincinnati. We have the numbers. We just need to do the work.

I’ve said it before: the only thing that explains elected Republicans’ determination to support Trump’s objectively unpopular policies is that they don’t believe they’ll need to win a fair election. Otherwise they’d read the same polls we do and moderate.

They are going to try to steal this election. I know it’s illegal. I know “they can’t just…”. The masses have to stop them. We have to stop them.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump is convicted of child molestation against 2 children He attempted to keep one victim quiet by claiming he would receive $10 million from the Trump administration as restitution for former Jan. 6 defendants and would share the money with the victim in his will 😑🖕

If my 42 years of being human hadn’t taught me this, my 15 years of being a surgeon/ICU doctor most certainly has.

The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

And it’s really not difficult. Like, they are so dumb AND self-serving.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us. Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

People who speak like this under oath to our elected Representatives in the People’s House should face actual legal & professional consequences

Did you watch Dawson’s Creek? Today is a great day to ask your PCP about your options for colon cancer screening.

Exactly this! I have spent years trying to explain that the COVID and COVID vaccine disinformation campaigns were an intentional attempt to break trust in institutions and, in turn, to dismantle democracy. I wrote about that in this series of articles: tnicholsmd.medium.com/disinformati...

There are so many threads to pull here but the absolute intellectual bankruptcy of the richest men on the planet is impossible to ignore. It can't just be that they personally got lucky, or leveraged some edge at the right time; they have to be undeniably superior to others at a foundational level.

ICE is running concentration camps. It’s that simple.

Bankruptcy is actually part of the private equity business model.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Yeah, please don’t buy the “we just want to help all the lost puppies” bullshit

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

The “suspected political message” was literally in English on the Jumbotron they are so dumb

Here’s hoping that in a few years all the AI ads look as ridiculous as all the crypto ads from 2023 do… 🤞

Or... Hear me out on this one... We stop having political dynasties.

Honestly, countries should start boycotting the World Cup today!

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

It is hard to overstate how infuriating it is to have the Department of Health and Human Services led by a non-health expert who actively chooses to disseminate disinformation at every opportunity.

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
