The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.

The Ethicist | I am a White House official who is being blackmailed by my mistress. Would it be better to ask ICE to deport her or to do some insider trading on crude futures to get the money to pay her off?

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

I know we are so far past the point of even pointing this out but it is wild that the fbi director is threatening to sue people over a news article

*whispers* I totally think it was staged.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

The 2nd Annual symposium of the 14th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy was an awesome daylong commitment to undertake the work of "refounding" democracy in this country. WATCH all of the panels at this link: youtube.com/playlist? list=PLukLOeQAAH4fDnhek748P52xsjJhS- BYc&si=7ViNU2A0Px88e0yr.

looking forward to alito declaring that our grand colorblind constitution means that white voters can permanently gerrymander racial minorities out of political representation.

The Pope is soft on crime though.

Reminder that Trump and the GOP snuck a huge tax break into their Big Ugly Bill allowing private jet owners to write off the cost of their planes faster than before. Meanwhile, the Big Ugly Bill will kick millions of people off food assistance and healthcare programs. "Party of the working class."

It’s almost like a coordinated talking point went out on Red Cross doctor Jesus H. Trump.

Same people telling you to stop eating avocado toast and buying $7 coffees are mad you're not taking on the up to $30k it could take to have a baby. And also that you didn't start at 15.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

House Judiciary Dems' report revealed that Trump's cryptocurrency policies were used to funnel billions to Trump & his family. He also dismantled anti-corruption/financial integrity safeguards & pardoned corporate cronies to build his crypto wealth.

Whether it's Pete Hegseth being a white nationalist alcoholic sexual predator with a fetish for violence or Lloyd Austin being Black, the two most recent secretaries of defense have alienated segments of the American public.

Be great if people educated themselves on the difference between powers the federal government does and does not have. This idiotic suggestion that we turn voter registration over to the feds would be an extraordinarily stupid cession of power to a government in the hands of a psychopath.

Because, stupid, states control elections and fed controls the draft. Gawd it's embarrassing how uneducated are people who profess interest in the fate of this country.

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

Sorry for the screenshot but quote posts are disabled. And I just wanted to say this totally gets the difference between lifelong Catholics and adult Catholic converts.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

Bibi can fuck off and stay fucked off.

Why do Republicans tolerate this government? Because many of them no longer see democracy as the goal. They see democracy as an obstacle to: •permanent power •deregulation •privatization •culture war domination And authoritarian leaders like Orbán are useful because they validate the argument.

Every word of this is true. If you had any doubts that Putin was controlling the deranged lunatic in the White House, that should end today.

BREAKING: DOJ investigating Iran for Mortgage Fraud.

What is truly wearying is that 25-30 percent of our fellow citizens, braced with the attention span of sedated goldfish, are going to listen to today's soundbites from Trump and Hegseth about this astonishing debacle in Iran and say, "Welp, we won that war." Simply because they say so.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

We shouldn't all be forced to live in this episode of The Twilight Zone constantly. This is no way to live.

Evil continues when too many people think it's someone else's job to stop it. We're not lacking in information here. We're lacking in agency. We're here because people sat home instead of standing up to prevent a criminal tyrant from taking power. The 25th Amendment won't save us. It can't.

The Iranian Embassy in South Africa weighs in:

If this is real. If his thumbs actually typed what is below... Citizens. Senators. Cabinet. The President of the United States is out of control. He is beyond reason or amelioration. We might really, really, really, I'm trying not to shout or capitalize here, really want to address this.

This is real It’s being done in our name Congressional Republicans are okay with this

Utter horseshit. No "reputable statisticians" have said this. She polled behind throughout the campaign. Why are bots and trolls circulating this? To what end?

We all know it’s true. Reputable statisticians agree it happened. There are lawsuits in Nevada & New York that continue to assert massive voter fraud. It’s just difficult for the story to get any traction on traitorous Legacy media...

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

This is utter horseshit. She was behind in every poll throughout the entire campaign.

An Easter message from the President…

Posted without comment…

Do we know if the president is in the hospital? No. Do we know that Republicans will see everyone gleefully trying to wish that into reality? Oh yes.

Think about this picture. Not to far from the truth.

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant. But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.

He is vile and horrifying. A nightmare I would like to wake up from. Vote every republican out of office this year and let’s impeach him!!

Incompetence at the top of the FBI has devastating consequences.
