Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater. Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I think it’s important context to mention to people who think this is just a crackpot Trump/RFK thing that the Bush II admin set USA back years with a war against stem cell research. Destroying scientific advancement that can save lives for specious or superstitious reasons is Republican policy.

"The core population centers — not just San Francisco, but also Oakland and Berkeley — would have no advance warning. ..The shaking would start faster than the ShakeAlert system could transmit the message to them."

This is fucking weird. Stop being a creepy little weirdo like JD Vance.

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

obviously no person says this but doing this signaling bullshit is really gross. there’s fascism to get mad about. stop punching ghosts.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Interesting tactic from Montana where, if I understand correctly, a 2026 referendum would would let the state redefine corporate charters to disallow the power of corporations that are incorporated in Montana to spend on political campaigns.

Oof.

Genuinely hilarious Mamdani spent the week with Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders while Elissa Slotkin spent the week with 50 extra drinks because she couldn't get 100 people to her Cincinnati town hall.

Republicans promised the average American an extra 1K on their tax returns this year. THAT’S how they justified cutting healthcare and nutritional assistance to the bone. They lied. The average boost for working Americans was only $350. Those same Americans will spend an extra $2500 on tariffs.

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an avid animal genitalia researcher in his spare time, once pulled the family sedan to the side of the road after spying a dead raccoon and swiftly cut off its sex organs so he could 'study them later.'" 😐

Hey so…healthcare in this country is absolutely collapsing at an unprecedented rate and most of you have absolutely no idea and frankly don’t give a shit and that’s exactly part of the problem and the reason it’s been picking up speed in its collapse since the beginning of COVID.

What they did to San Francisco is one of the greatest man made tragedies to happen to a city. A hive of the most unfuckable losers wearing a beacon of culture like the skin suit from men in black.
