And just like that… No one is talking about the Epstein files any more

Mother of the year

Everyone needs to start reporting ICE agents are Iranian sleeper cells.

My library reopened after lockdown. When mask mandates were dropped, a mother sobbed to me because her daughter with cancer could no longer come in. I brought the story to the public services director, who put her hand in my face and said “we can’t make everyone happy.” I’m also immunocompromised.

Richard Van Buren, chairman of Chester’s Town Board, was arrested and charged with felony animal mistreatment after allegedly strangling a golden retriever who bit him in self-defense. The case has drawn intense public scrutiny. Read the story!👇

This is Nugget. He has the teefiest teef we have ever seen. And we know the bottom six inches of furniture hates to see him coming. 12/10

SCHRIER: Have you ever treated measles? RFK JR: No SCHRIER: Well I have. Let me tell you how miserable these kids is. The great thing is there's a vaccine to prevent it ... they only work if you actually give them

if Cuomo loses today and goes ahead with a 3rd party run in the general "No means no" as the counter message is right there

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Norwegian researchers gave anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab to 10 women with moderate to severe ME/CFS. Six showed marked improvement, with physical function scores more than doubling and step counts tripling. No serious side effects were reported. www.frontiersin.org/journals/med...

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

Rarely use much yellow in my knitting, but for #ShowMeYourKnits I present a sweater knit for my granddaughter a few years ago. "Cat Person" in Eco Baby Cotton. 🧶

add yours!

It's not just Good Reads. Having written three books I've discovered that there's a bitter little clique of angry people who try to sabotage book review ratings ... www.thebookseller.com/news/authors...

Daughter called me. At 4am one of her dogs took off barking in the house. Checks her doorbell camera. A woman trying door to see if it was open. Tried lots of doors in the complex. Man & woman. Called her neighbour. Yup she's got footage also. Neighbour called cops. Lock your doors. #BurlOn

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. 🧵

If you’re lucky enough to have ancestors up north and can prove it, now’s the time

Let’s talk endometriosis, a devastating condition that’s under diagnosed, under treated & poorly recognized Having bad periods? You’ll hear the following: You should get pregnant Period pain is “normal” It’s not that bad Get married & have babies and THEN we may operate 🧵

Heard you can just post a selfie with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @bradlander.bsky.social and get a thousand likes. Watch us on Stephen Colbert tonight at 11:35PM!

'Well there has been a significant increase in disability claims since the pandemic' WHY! MIGHT! THAT! BE?????

If you’re looking for a simple, powerful and effective way to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people… wear a mask. You will protect your health and the health of those around you. You will help fight mask bans. You will send a clear message that no one is expendable.

Here's a photo of the current head of the CP3 office in Homeland Security at his previous job that prepared him for his current role. Sleep well America.

"Insurance companies currently rely on ACIP’s guidance on which vaccines to cover. But if enough reputable public health groups come up with recommendations different from ACIP’s, Osterholm said, those groups could sway insurance companies on which shots to cover..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

Never underestimate your power to save lives. This woman stood up to the brownshirts. She stood up for the people they were trying to kidnap. She said “enough”. No badge, no ID? Leave. This is community care.

A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

The Supreme Court approved this today.

Touché.

I see the Washington Post is platforming an op-ed by Krisi Noem, because apparently they're still pissed they missed their opportunity to publish Goebbels in the original German.

It is disgusting to note the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects and the amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. If possible, this must be prevented. My people must drink beer. - Frederick the Great

Damn right!!!

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

THE ILIAD HARD ❌ Sing, goddess, the wrath of the son of Peleus Akhilleus, ruinous, which set up myriad woes for the Akhaians, sent many strong souls of heroes to Hades, and made them into carrion for dogs and all birds, and Zeus’s will was being accomplished. EASY ✅ Dude was mad. It was bad.

Oh yeah.
