Good on you, Charlotte, NC. Do not obey in advance.

This is so insane. #MedicareForAllNOW

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

France starved, Louis and Marie build magnificent buildings, threw fancy parties, and glutted on exotic foods. Too bad Trump slept through history classes. It didn’t turn out well for them, and I hope Trump eventually sees accountability.

What a queen

and Nazi

Hi, I’m God. Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thanks, God

PRINCE ANDREW HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF HIS TITLES AND EVICTED FROM ROYAL LODGE. In other totally unrelated news, more than 100 court filings related to Jeffrey Epstein’s finances are being unsealed today by order of a federal judge: www.courthousenews.com/judge-to-uns...

Good morning to everyone who won’t be spending their day rounding people up based on what they look like.

The Ronald Reagan video denouncing tariffs, which Donald is in such a snit about, was posted to YouTube eight years ago. It is authentic. Donald is lying. It is not AI. We are living in such twisted times, when Ronald Reagan's own words are offensive to Republicans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t5Q...

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's immigration agenda isn't about going after the worst of the worst. If that was what they were doing, they wouldn't be terrorizing entire neighborhoods and hardworking folks — including U.S. citizens — at car washes and Home Depot parking lots.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

“Are you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M on Trump’s ballroom, $150M on Trump’s golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noem’s jets - but we can’t spend a penny on lowering our healthcare #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #NurseSky #EMSky

When AWS goes down and half the internet follows, that’s not innovation — that’s dependency. One company shouldn’t have this much control over our digital backbone. It’s not a cloud problem. It’s a monopoly problem. We need leaders who will stand up to Big Tech, not sell out.

AWS is down, post hog

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

My Official Statement. Thank You for your attention to this matter.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

I don’t think Biden was president on J6.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump No Longer Remembers That He Was President and Controlled the FBI on January 6, 2021, Confirming Americans' Worst Fears About His Advanced Dementia

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was. His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment. HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Some people are tying Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism, but association isn’t causation. A statistician and parent of an autistic child explains why the science is far from settled, and why your doctors (not politicians) are the best guide: buff.ly/Hv9RWPL

While the art at Philadelphia’s Barnes Foundation dazzles, culturati might be unaware that Dr. Barnes chartered the foundation as an educational institution. Happily, art critic Blake Gopnik’s new biography provides a much-needed account of the visionary collector.

Today Trump signed an Exec. Order moving 23 bachelorette parties scheduled for Oct. in Nashville (“a very dangerous place”) to Palm Beach (“Everybody wants to go there.”) All the brides-to-be get “Trump Knows Best” hats (a $23.99 value) and every attendee under 19 gets a free modeling evaluation.

I must be lucky my wife took Tylenol a few times, we had my daughter vaccinated as recommended. And she’s not autistic.

NEW: The Trump DOJ just launched a (highly dubious) criminal investigation into Fed Governor Lisa Cook's mortgage representations. Guess who else had the same kind of thing? 3 Trump cabinet officials: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Has anyone else noticed that CNN en español is no longer available on Sirius? I tried to tune in yesterday and got a message in Spanish saying the channel “is no longer available on Sirius”, and directing listeners to POTUS and other channels for news.

Thank you for asking ! Long weekend! Back next week.

Valerie Thomas, the NASA scientist behind the illusion transmitter patent, made 3D movies possible and paved the way for women in STEM. Her groundbreaking work at NASA continues to inspire future innovators worldwide. #BlackExcellence #BLM #UnitedWeStand

God bless Zohran Mamdani. Nothing scares the right more than a leader who stands for actual democracy.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a recovering heroin addict. That's the positive part. He's also a fucking idiot.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said." It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

Crime is down…he’s testing the waters. Wants to see how we will react to the militarization in DC.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

“You cannot negotiate with people who say what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is negotiable.” President John F. Kennedy

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

"So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer, is that right?" -- Eugene Robinson guides Scott Bessent into acknowledging that tariffs are in fact paid in the United States, not by foreign governments

NO! MOST LIKELY THEY ALREADY HAVE!!

As Heather Cox Richardson writes, The Epstein story is about more than the sex trafficking of girls. It's also about rich and privileged people evading accountability for breaking the law." People like Donald Trump, in other words.

Today someone asked how much I would pay in taxes to ensure everyone had housing & healthcare I don’t know, whatever I could? This isn’t the “gotcha” folks think it is If we taxed the rich properly, the rest of us wouldn’t need to pay exorbitant taxes to ensure every single person was provided for
