54% of Americans can't read at a 6th grade level. We aren't providing our citizenry with the tools and skills to identify when they are being conned.

Yes I want iced coffee even though it’s cold out. Are the traditions and folkways of my culture a joke to you?

Hell yes. Legislate a ban on any company from owning more than 5 affiliates. Smother Sinclair and Nextsar in their sleep.

Two thirds of Americans are not Trump voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

Halligan will be lucky to escape sanctions for her extreme misconduct. Comey has nothing to fear, and is probably already negotiating the book deal he will get memorializing his persecution

Undermining Article 5 on TV doesn't seem like a great plan to dissuade Putin from escalation!

@schnorkles.bsky.social yooooo an AAV that didn't crash and burn in P1/2? Also: a 12hr direct infusion to the brain to get neurons to produce a neutralizing mtRNA for mutant huntingtin is the kind of crazy cowboy shit I love to see actually work in the clinic

Former Congressman has never heard of sovereign immunity or the Federal Tort Claims Act. You can't sue the President for defamation for things he says while acting in his official role.

That's a wishcasting chart right there.

2x2 weeks lol

Trump refusing to meet is a *win* for the Democrats, not a reason to be mad at the Democrats for wanting the meeting

Fuck the Greens. This is a first-past-the-post executive election. Third parties will never be anything but spoilers that block real progressive action. Get in the coalition and work your influence from inside it. Anything else is undermining the policy priorities you claim to support.

Hep B is transmitted vertically (from parent to child) & via fomites (it lives on surfaces for hours, & if you know anything about (drooly) children, you can see how they'd contract Hep B). Even if it was sexually-transmitted, a preventative vaccine is still a good idea. See also: the HPV vaccine!

Tylenol does not cause autism but *not* taking Tylenol can cause women to be truly miserable during pregnancy so you can see why the GOP is so gung-ho about this line of argument.

IT'S ALSO UNCONSTITUTIONAL. CONGRESS HAS NOT ISSUED ANY AUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE THAT COULD CONCEIVABLY COVER BOMBING RANDOM BOATS IN THE SOUTH CARIBBEAN. IT'S A VIOLATION OF US SEPARATION OF POWERS, NOT JUST INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Labour and the Dems in the US have the same problem. Leadership refusing to accept that it's not 1998 anymore.

GO BIRDS

I'm struck over and over again by the profound mediocrity of Stephen Miller's writing.

Go birds

"who was president prior to Jan 21, 2021" is a question that continues to break SO MANY brains

The future can feel uncertain—but voices like Parlee Center Fellow Ashton Newswanger remind us what’s at stake, and why it matters. Science learners & trainees carry the hope, curiosity, and commitment that keep us moving forward. Read Ashton’s guest blog post: substack.com/@philadelphi...

The wrongful termination suit here is going to be delicious @joshuaerlich.bsky.social

Yup, between this new H-1B crap and the tariffs, the US tech industry is about to go into overdrive on off-shoring. This is how you drive an expertise industry out of your economy.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

The CDC vaccine schedule is dead for the duration of this administration. Parents need to start looking to the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Northeast Public Health Compact, and the West Coast Health Alliance instead.

Administrative Procedures Act? Never heard of it.

The idea that if you make Dems a little more Republican, Republicans will vote Dem is what’s breaking us. And it doesn’t even work!

Can you imagine Nancy Pelosi letting any members of her caucus taking this vote? Lol. Jeffries is trying to get the kids to like him by being the cool Unc who lets the nephews do whatever they want. He's not going to win a speaker vote the next time Dems are in the majority.

the way you do this is you encourage more people to protest. numbers provide safety, anonymity weakens any protest

"Uhhh guys...there's a problem with the Kirk Tribute" "What?" "Turns out there's not enough non-bigoted material we can selectively mine to fill an hour."

I've been on team "Ezra Klein is a fucking moron" for at least a decade now and it feels horrible to be vindicated.

James Taylor or Jimmy Buffet

"Depressed people often don’t have the energy to commit violent crimes, and psychotic people usually have trouble executing an elaborate plan. It’s angry people who kill, particularly angry men with access to firearms." www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

Retsef Levi is unequipped to answer this question because he has zero training or expertise in science or medicine. He is management consultant.

Bruh, Leo, come get your boy

I don't understand how Dems still haven't figured out that VOTERS ARE REPULSED BY TIMIDITY. Displays of strength are absolute 100% the path to the populist support that is required to get elected in the current political climate.

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

There is -120% chance this congress will pass a new AUMF lol

this is the shit i want to see

Sycophancy machine amplifies worst behavioral tendencies in people with personality disorders, more at 11.

They should immediately refuse to grant cert. The law requires that a fed governor can only be fired for cause, and there is no legal recognized cause for the president to fire Cook. (Instead we'll likely get an unsigned administrative stay of the lower court injunctions on the shadow docket)

How do we wishcast/manifest this into existence? Does another groundhog need to break into the LHC

INBOX: Jersey City/Hoboken – After Disney’s ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live off the air indefinitely, Democratic nominees for State Assembly Katie Brennan and Ravi Bhalla called on New Jersey to cancel all film and TV tax credits to networks that censor critics of the Trump administration.

remember when we had an entire news cycle when biden mixed up the presidents of mexico and iraq

There is a single lesson from the last two decades of national politics: don't be chickenshit. The American public loves displays of strength and it hates timidity.

Somehow Democrats after 10 years of Trump have still not understood that the American public likes displays of strength and is profoundly turned off by timidity.
