The CDC tracked Cyclospora for 28 years. RFK Jr. made that surveillance optional. Now thousands of Americans are sick, and we don't know where the outbreak began. Who saw this coming? Anyone who believes in science. Americans are paying the price for his reckless incompetence.

Boston has been warned for years that delayed street-safety projects would cost lives. Enough is enough. Add your name before the letter is delivered to Mayor Wu on Thursday: benjaminsiegel.github.io/enough-is-en...

Charlie Kirk: “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.” Meet the pilot. 🧑🏾‍🚀🚀🌔💙🤘🏾✨

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

@ty-anderson.bsky.social nice mix

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Steve Bannon’s Surprisingly Key Role in the Epstein Scandal talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/steve...

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!" You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

I like that we are moving, by fits and starts, to a new, better understanding of the current corruption of SCOTUS and how to fix it. Good stuff here from @joshtpm.bsky.social. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-c...

What is the story with the liquor license that requires all the alcohol they serve to be “flavored”? Just so their drinks taste gross?

how many hours have been lost trying to remember how to insert a carriage return in a cell in Excel

Spray paint a Tesla: domestic terrorism Targeted political assassination spree: not terrorism

at what point did it become so hard to tell the email app that you have read the message. I am clicking on and off and nothing happens. I have to actually click “mark as read” for it to ack that I read the msg

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

These are literally not crimes

happy pride

Trump has picked 2022 law school grad Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate (such “physical prowess”) who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK. 1/

One of the things I hate most about him is how he’s provided the permission structure for every dumbfuck and dipshit in your town to act on their bigoted impulses and declare themselves the citizenship police or the genital police.

I’m a bit confused by what “LGBTQ graduate majors” are

wtf just happened at the red sox game

Not sure if I should be proud that my wife congratulated me for figuring out that our vacuum charger was not plugged in.

New box. Who dis?

Morning obstacle course

"So much going wrong and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident." Andor is hitting just a bit harder on this rewatch

If I’m thinking thru the senate rules right (by no means certain), I think a single D senator can force the voting that’s starts tomorrow to last into the beginning of next week by refusing unanimous consent. That can slow things down and allow the backlash to expand.

@mayorwu.boston.gov pls keep our streets safe

Anyone else seeing Apple Music playlists stopping after 4 or 5 songs? Wanna say it’s been happening all day.

The New York Times, a publication I've worked for and love, recently published a guide on the best men's jeans. Included are $300 APCs and $50 stretch jeans from two different brands. I have a different view on how to find the perfect pair of jeans. So here's a thread. 🧵
