Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won't they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they're terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

It just occurred to me that the reason Trump is constantly raising that weird fist he makes is that he is hiding his baby hands. #morningthoughts

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

We cannot stop beating this drum. Republicans are about to sell of millions of acres of public lands. This will harm everyone, but especially Utahns. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/c...

If you are still thinking of voting for Cuomo, maybe take a minute and read @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social's thread. If it doesn't change your mind, you are beyond anyone's help.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

This is crazy. Will AOC weigh in on the Mayor’s race in Charleston? Enough with out-of-state national electeds weighing in on local races. It’s rude. I don’t care who Bernie or Clyburn want to be Mayor of NYC. Mind your business. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/n...

Hey Iran, if it makes you feel better, every time Trump has said “two weeks” it actually meant “this will never happen.” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Gore winning 2000 means no Alito or Roberts. Clinton winning 2016 means no Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, or Barrett. A few thousand votes' difference means misery and terror for millions.

How much deeper into physical and mental decline must Trump descend before elected Republicans grasp they have a duty to their country?
