How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Lynne White, 82, thrives on only three hours a night. Now researchers believer her rare genetic mutation may hold the key to improving all our sleep

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

For weeks, President Trump has repeatedly boasted that his administration had managed to bring egg prices down. But new data on Thursday showed that egg prices at the grocery store continued to climb in March.

Once thing we can say for certain is that Donald Trump has been convicted of more crimes than some of the people he is deporting to a black hole in el salvador with no due process or recourse www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

Appeasement is what Trump wants. Fuck that, and fuck him.

WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock? DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

Notice to flat-Earthers all around the globe: Please alert the authorities if tonight’s Total Lunar Eclipse looks like this:

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

Data shows it can prevent six types of cancer. But anti-vaccine activists, including U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have helped dampen its usage.

The @WSJ.com editorial board denounces Trump's "hammer blow" of "retaliation" against law firm Perkins Coie: "It’s one more step toward making the legal system wholly political."

here's today's post: "the raccoons in elderly golfer’s head have chewed through all the wires" — and the press continues to sleepwalk through it. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

This was always the risk with Gabbard and Patel at the head of our intelligence gathering. We not only will lose our own sources who won’t trust them, but we will lose intelligence from our close allies. This makes a terrorist attack on US soil much more likely.

Good grief!

TBH, I kind of thought my 60s would be about painting & making cool instead of thinking about my response to an impending invasion.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Donald John Trump is a felon and a Russian asset. You don't need CIA or FBI intel to come to that conclusion.

And they smile about it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

But this is not true! The United States did not send $350B to Ukraine. They sent $114B The EU did not send $100B to Ukraine. They sent $132B.

Did we understand correctly that President Trump is basically saying that he is deliberately allowing Russia to bomb Ukraine and kill Ukrainians to force us to "settle"? We don't even know how to comment on this.

This is a statement put out by the George W Bush Foundation. At long last a sane response from the GOP.

Trump is doing everything he can to destroy America and our allies. While helping Russia. Everyone in the world should be calling for his immediate impeachment and removal.

Trump plans to kill more Ukrainians by sending them to his concentration camps or returning them to an active war zone. #3E #StandWithUkraine

Someone took their Swasticar to Mardi Gras. It did not go well for them 😎🤣😎

Maga Cult Slayer Bernie calls it an alternate reality. We’ve been telling you it’s called an echo chamber. He perfectly explains what we have been saying, the illusory truth effect. They are brainwashed by manipulated computer code into believing lies are truths.

Trump may have appointed Amy Coney Barrett, but she looks like she couldn't despise him more in this clip.

Trump’s rants makes so more sense when you give him a 3rd grader’s voice ✨🤣✨😎✨💥✨

White guys clapping for the end of DEI.

"Perhaps" veterans who sacrificed from their time on Earth, their health, or even their bodies — and were promised steady jobs in civil service to make good on the debt the country owes them — "are not fit to have a job at this moment." Insulting and dishonorable.

2 day change -1,400 (always a tweet)

It’s been six days since Chief Justice Roberts’s “administrative” stay in the foreign aid cases. That almost certainly means (1) someone’s dissenting; (2) the Court is trying to reach a compromise; or (3) both. Hard to be sure which it is, but the continuing pause is itself producing plenty of harm.

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

House Republicans still can’t pass a budget, but they are still laser focused on making your lives better.
