Brand new here… trying to find my way to some hope and connection in this post election world. I love books, art, photography, travel, fashion, birding, hiking, road trips, dogs, snark, and film/tv.

This is “healthcare” in the United States. A pharmacy benefit manager randomly decided they just weren’t going to cover this man’s inhaler anymore, so he couldn’t afford it. He died of an asthma attack. Devastating. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Alex Jones, who spent years ranting about shadowy government mass surveillance technology, is now stanning for Palantir

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

The mercantilism will continue until morale improves

Synthetic face? Why is literally every accusation a confession with these people 😭

Nice to see a smart woman put down a self-important and not terribly bright member of the Senate. The bully did not weather the exchange well.

Sen. Jeff Merkley: "Big, beautiful betrayal might be a better thing to call it. ... In the end, it's families lose and billionaires win."

Nicolle Wallace: "What's eerie is that it's so hard" to make Trump interested in his own national security briefings.

Trump offered chaos: @bennet.senate.gov joins The Weeknight to discuss the real-life impact of Trump’s budget bill.

This should be an enormous scandal

BREAKING: Three former Salvadoran officers were convicted by a five-person jury late Tuesday for the 1982 killings of four Dutch journalists during the Central American nation’s civil war.

Orlando Rep. Maxwell Frost says Elon Musk leaves a 'dark legacy' behind in the White House

The VA is not perfect. But my patients never face this dilemma. It’s what all of us could have in a sane system. Deaths like his are what give us mortality curves like this 👇🏻

This is obscene. We don't have to live like this. And we don't have to die like this.

Donald Trump will do anything to become the richest man in the world, even if it means hurting those who voted for him. He’s obsessed with money, and he is using the White House to enrich himself.

It really is nasty; it eats animals alive. It's also gross - the larvae look like screws made of slime. Yuck. We eradicated it in the US in 1966, but this mad dash backwards has us revisiting all sorts of former foes. At this point, we should be greeting Mussolini by, uh...July. (I did some math.)

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.”

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social: “God knows I don't put myself in Elon Musk's mind — that's a bridge too far even for people like us who are supposed to comment on this — but don't you think his reaction suggests Trump fired him?”

Nothing to see here…just killing some women.

Where is Trump?

Also he killed all those people

Trump and the GOP's “big ugly bill” will increase the average family’s student loan payment by $400 a month. Hands Off Public Schools

Indistinguishable from Nazi rhetoric

JUST IN: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sues interim US Attorney Alina Habba for "false arrest and malicious prosecution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I am not a lawyer so I don’t know what it would take to use the 25th amendment, but as a psychologist, I could put together one heck of a report of factual evidence that would indicate this person does not have the mental clarity to have a job where he wasn’t closely supervised.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” wrote Elon Musk on X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

Now even someone on ketamine, mushrooms and Ecstasy can see it.

TBF, Trump probably doesn't remember the details of the agreement he let someone else negotiate.

In fairness to Marjorie Taylor Greene, maybe she *can’t* read. That tracks.

Since Elon Musk shut down USAID, 55,000 adults have died of aides, 6000 children died. Thats 61,000 people- in the first 5 months and thats just PEPFAR. You add them all up, Musk & Trump are responsible for the deaths of 300,000 people. ( hT David Brooks, Boston U.). youtu.be/suua4hYfLTY

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust. Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

Go Newark Mayor 💥 Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is suing interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, for false arrest and malicious prosecution.

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who, until late last week, led a Trump administration initiative that purported to clean up waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, called the president’s main domestic policy bill “a disgusting abomination.” www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

🚨NEW: VoteVets slams decision to strip Harvey Milk’s name from Navy ship. “This isn’t just offensive—it’s a calculated act of disrespect.” It's not about tradition. It’s about forcing out those who don’t fit Hegseth’s 1980s action figure fantasy of service. FULL STATEMENT ⬇️

Another dumb gross irony here is Harvey Milk served in the Navy and Donald Trump's Navy secretary didn't www.military.com/daily-news/2...

“As the president wants to showcase U.S. military power, he is doing grave and possibly irreparable damage to the real sources of U.S. strength, including its long-term investment in scientific research. Trump is declaring war on science, and the casualty will be the U.S. economy.” 6/14/25 debacle

Big news: The Trump administration has essentially proposed shutting down tribal colleges and universities, displacing more than 20,000 students. My latest for ProPublica:

The Secretary of Education thinks 1.2 billion times 10 is a trillion dollars

The Florida meteorologist stopped his own segment to give an ominous warning about DOGE's cuts hampering his ability to track hurricanes.

Joni Ernst’s cruelty is on full display. Do Dems have opportunity to oust her in 2026? Yes. Remember, this was a swing state with a Dem lean in presidential contests and a liberal senator barely a decade ago. Here’s the story on the opening Ernst has created for a Dem comeback in the heartland.

Ukrainians are incredible. Our Defense Forces are writing history with their innovation, ingenuity, and intelligence. Thank you to everyone involved. We are proud! #Ukraine — the first in world history to: ◾️ Destroy a warship with a naval drone ◾️ Destroy a submarine with a cruise missile⤵️

"A senior official who dismantled the US government’s Russian disinformation unit is married to a Russian woman with links to the Kremlin, The Telegraph can reveal. Darren Beattie has provoked alarm within the State Department since being appointed in February for his ardent pro-Russian views.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Ukraine rewrote the rules of modern warfare; reminded us of its extraordinary resilience; and delivered a substantive as well as symbolic defeat to Vladimir Putin — and to all the princes, principalities, and orcs allied with him. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Bill Kristol blasted ICE agents for wearing masks during recent operations, calling the practice a tool of fear—not protection.
