This is JD. He was just checking to make sure he's still got it. Pleased to report that he sure does. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

We're outraged by what's happening in Georgia, and you should be too! Tune into our five alarm 🔥 episode. msmagazine.com/podcast/fift...

Noticing #Lawless by @leahlitman.bsky.social on the desk this morning! It's a great book and she's on my podcast #FifteenMinutesOfFeminism this week. @msmagazine.com Buy it now--a smart read about how #SCOTUS and Trump are giving "bad vibes."

1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place. He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII. I cover this insane ruling here. Subscribe to support my journalism.

10/10 no notes @raskin.house.gov

Y’all.

Daily Floof is on a break. The Floofer shall return

So, you might be wondering: does it matter if Covid shots are recommended? Yes, yes it does. 1. Insurance won't cover them if they're not recommended. That's a HUGE challenge for a lot of people. 2. If more people skip the shots, manufacturers will make fewer doses, making them harder to find.

Are the “many, many people” in the room with us?

Absolutely incredible And this is one of many reasons to stand up for science!!

Meanwhile a book about Biden’s mental decline is making headlines…

When the uber is playing the music of your people ….

Exactly - based on this 2020 article, living wills are "completely void" during pregnancy in AL, ID, KS, KY, MI, MO, SC, TX, UT, and WI. In more than 15 states, they aren't valid if there is any chance of viability for the fetus." Many aren't aware of this h/t @professorboone.bsky.social

The one person a woman is married to is more likely to kill her than all the illegal immigrants in the country combined and yet none of our laws or policies seem to recognize that fact

It should be noted that this photo is misleading… this is from a prior pregnancy. She was only 9 weeks pregnant when declared brain dead. She’s been on life support for over 90 days.

Deaths from Fentanyl dropped over 25% in 2024. That is a phenomenal number. Kudos to #AnneMilgram and the DEA. Don’t be fooled if Trump tries to claim credit for it. In fact, his policies threaten to reverse it. www.cnn.com/2025/05/14/h...

Daily Floof volume 95 Instead of counting sheep to fall asleep, he’s counting the lies told by RFK jr… Or thinking about cheese. It’s a toss up

Here in ATL, a family is being put through trauma after trauma, stripped of all choice by GA's LIFE Act, while they face one of the most tragic situations they are likely to ever experience. This is horrifying (yet not new, the law often eliminates end of life decisionmaking during pregnancy)

Daily Floof volume 94 Boop.

Racist and sexist roots in the cancellation of NSF grants under Trump: Grants with female PIs canceled 2x more than men Grants with Black PIs canceled 4x over White PIs Grants with Hispanic PIs canceled 2x over White PIs Grants with PIs with disabilities canceled 2x more than without

I am thinking this was a pretty calculated “mistake”

So many to choose from

Nothing like a little Mother’s Day e.Coli. The gift that keeps on giving
