My radical position is that congress should remove a president if he pronounces that his predecessor was assassinated and replaced by a clone

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Donald Trump is disappearing and deporting people with permanent legal status just because he disagrees with their political views. This is the playbook of authoritarians and dictators. And if he can do it to them, he can do it to anyone.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Trump is considering abolishing FEMA and forcing states to deal with natural disasters. “I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” he said. I wonder how Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina & South Carolina feel about “taking care of their own problems” without federal help.

I got to explain the 14th amendment to my class today. Many didn’t know it was a reconstruction amendment. This is why one of the best things we can do is provide the history behind what leads to the madness. People truly don’t know.

Why do Florida's millions of workers keep putting up with a system the Republicans who run our state designed to fail?!? Probably because stories like these live exclusively behind paywalls.

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals. Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

One more reminder about January 6, 2021 especially for Jews who support Trump. There were people in the crowd at the Capitol wearing antisemitic shirts, because no matter what they are protesting, there will always be people who blame us.

Wow! Biden completely outsmarted Trump with his executive order to permanently ban drilling in 625 million acres of ocean. Biden didn’t just sign it, he invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Trump can ONLY undo it with an act of Congress or in the courts. Dark Brandon strikes again!

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

I don’t know what to do. It’s not safe to live in the US anymore. I have an undiagnosed chronic illness & chronic pain (thanks, shitty healthcare system), therefore work is limited or non existent. This makes emigrating nearly impossible. So I just get to suffer & die? God bless America, I guess.
