If Republicans stand behind their phenomenally unpopular and regressive budget bill, they should defend it on the merits. Instead they're touting legislation that doesn't exist -- a fantasy bill that somehow doesn't widen deficits, purge people from Medicaid, or give its biggest benefits to the rich

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Three dead, dozens sick from Listeria in premade chicken meals sold at Walmart & Kroger. In normal times, CDC would issue a HAN. Instead, we’re wasting energy revisiting thimerosal myths while real threats go unchecked.

The LAPD confirmed to me these were ICE agents. Not that it needed confirmation because everyone on the scene saw who they were. Is the ICE spokesperson who denied these were ICE agents calling the LAPD liars?

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

The thing about Tucker humiliating Ted Cruz isn’t that Tucker is smart it’s that Ted Cruz feels an obligation to treat Tucker with some level of respect and answer questions instead of displaying open contempt which is what Republicans do to all other members of the media

“I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me.” A month after Tom Homan's threat, he was spotted nearby visiting a Mexican restaurant. "Like a mobster," a Waltham resident described. Countless ICE sweeps have since occurred, as well as the creation of a network determined to protect neighbors.
